With s.GUARD, you cover everything from a status change
to an incident or a malfunction, an emergency and a full
blown crisis from a single source. This unification has
several advantages:
• Reduced
complexity, e.g. by reducing the number of systems
or system providers, outsourcing services and
automatically integrating master data.
• Reduced costs due to economies
of scale
• Increased acceptance of
the solution by employees, given they only have to
familiarize themselves with the system just once.
s.GUARD offers you a much more flexible logic than
comparable products, not only in terms of (multi-stage)
escalation and integrated verification steps, but also
thanks to the possibility of setting an alarm to «in
progress» and either completing it later or setting it
to «re-alarm» (manual or automatic).
• Flexible alert-stopping criteria
(e.g. «4 of 10 persons have confirmed», «Only one
person», «All persons») allow you to mobilize the right
number of persons.
• Time-controlled and event-based alarm
triggering and follow-up alarms allow you
to trigger an alarm without having to manually execute
the triggering.
• Schedules allow you to
define exceptions for holidays, Sundays and more with
just a few clicks. If desired, your users can
(temporarily) unsubscribe from an alerting process
flexibly and event-based.
• With ad-hoc user groups you
can spontaneously and on demand inform only certain
persons about an event via app.
Furthermore, you can also trigger or receive alarms de
pending on the position (e.g. of a user), be it by means
of «indoor positioning» or a «geo-fence».
s.GUARD is a modularized SOS solution. For protecting
lone workers this is the is an intelligent solution for
high level protection & conforms to regulations from
SUVA / DGUV (BGR).
• Will-independent detection
Freely configurable, integrating the classic dead
man system with the detection of movement, inclination
and shock.
• Comfort and safety functions
Smart pause function, continuous client-server check and
with automatic sensor calibration.
• Cockpit
With display of
position & medical data, including emergency plans (flow
charts) & checklists.
• Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC)
You want to delegate the monitoring to an ARC which is
available 24/7/365? No problem.
s.GUARD can integrate with a substantial number of
interfaces creating a uniform solution for a large
number of areas, but the services do go much further
than just supporting the commonest interfaces, in fact
there are simply too many to list here.

Why use critical incident management at all?
In a nutshell: Unforeseen
critical events cause damage. In the simplest case, this
means that e.g. property damage must be repaired, but
the consequences can also be far more far-reaching. Even
if, for example, personal injuries are immaterial (i.e.
not directly of monetary value), it is still worth
considering damages from a business and, above all, from
an insurance and legal point of view:
Damage to Persons: Damage to
persons is caused by injury to the body or health (also:
mental health). The obligations of the employer in this
respect are regulated. By definition, personal injury is
immaterial (i.e. not of monetary value), but can result
in consequential financial losses, e.g. compensation for
pain and suffering, fines, treatment and procedural
costs and, of course, the loss of a
valuable
employee. Furthermore, personal injuries also lead to
damage to the image of a company and to reduced
motivation of employees, even if they are not directly
affected.
Both have a negative impact on your
business and therefore represent a direct financial
loss. In addition: Apart from all economic and legal
considerations, the protection of employees also
represents a moral value.
Damage to Property: Damage to
property is any degrading effect on the condition of an
object which impairs its economic usability for the
intended purpose. This can range from slight scratches
(e.g. on car paint) to complete destruction (e.g. of a
building). And, of course, property damage can also
result in consequential financial losses. Water damage
in a computing center destroys e.g. a hard disk (a
property damage), the effort to be made to restore the
data stored on it or the impairment of your employees
(due to the failure) are however consequential financial
losses.
Financial Loss: Financial loss
is defined as damage to an asset with a legal owner,
i.e. an incurred pecuniary disadvantage of a natural
person or a legal entity. A distinction is made between
real/pure and «unreal» financial losses. A real/pure
financial loss is defined as a situation in which
neither a person nor an object suffers direct damage,
but nevertheless financial loss occurs, e.g. through
fraud or theft, but also through a reduction in added
value or profit, e.g. through operational disruptions
and loss of production. «Unreal» financial loss, on the
other hand, is the consequential loss resulting from
personal injury or damage to property.
