Governments and public sector agencies play a fundamental role in the wellbeing of our society. Upholding high safety standards within state organizations is nothing short of imperative.
The safety challenges faced by government institutions
State institutions and their operational headquarters face on-the-ground, everyday safety challenges all the time. In recent years especially, governments have increased their hiring of part-time, flexi-workers tremendously. From a safety perspective, this means that it’s difficult to gauge not only the available, on-site staff members, but also the available (trained) safety workers and emergency-response personnel.
With the merging of certain state institutions and government organizations, the challenge arises of managing various staff members, both full- and part-time, between multiple locations and buildings. In such instances, ensuring the safety of workers is difficult, but crucially important.
Most importantly, government institutions, buildings and personnel are more-increasingly subjected to hostility and aggression. To have the correct safety infrastructure and alarm notification systems in place when critical situations arise can make all the difference in de-escalating a situation.
The Safeguard Solution
Whether it’s your busiest time of year and you’ve hired additional part-time staff, or it’s your quietest month marked by just a core team- Safeguard gives you an exact picture of how many safety workers are available at any given time and place. Not only does this valuable data assist you in the day-to-day operations of your government branch, it also assists in accurately defining the correct ratios between staff and safety-workers, ensuring a fast reaction time in emergency situations.
Safeguard’s in-app emergency button means that whether your back-office staff are dealing with a crisis or your front-of-house receptionist is faced with an escalated situation, they’ll be able to notify the right people in the shortest amount of time. No phone calls. No pager-machines. No time wasted.
The bottom line is that scenarios and working environments can change rapidly, and you need a safety-management system that is agile enough to not only keep up with change, but to fluidly move and build with it. Our adjustable checklists and pre-defined emergency scenarios mean that your safety personnel will always be able to execute their jobs at optimal efficiency, saving you both time and money.
“With Safeguard, we now have a clear view of where our emergency response officers are. It provides me with a sense of gratitude that I can so thoroughly contribute to my organization’s safety. ”
Anouschka Wolvers, Facility Advisor at work organisation HLT Samen
“Financially, Safeguard has enabled us to save immensely as we’ve been able to cut back from 500 to about 200 trained ER officers in our organization. This has been possible through the accurate insight and precise data provided by Safeguard.”
Jurgen Rompa, OHS Coordinator at The Amphia Hospital
“Safeguard is a very practical, accessible system. We have tried other safety-management systems, and in comparison, Safeguard comes out at the top. For us, the Safeguard has proven itself to be fully functional and very reliable in practical situations where it is most needed. ”
Ton Minnaard, Head of OHS at BAM
“We challenged various safety apps to provide us with a proposal. Safeguard stuck out with it’s clear, simple design and user experience. During an emergency, it makes all the difference to work with a truly simple and intuitive system. ”
Willem Hegen, OHS team leader at Amsterdam Arena
