Peoplesafe unveiled what it described as the world’s smallest and lightest personal safety device – MicroSOS, at the 2018 Safety and Health Expo, at London’s Excel from June 19 to 21.
Exclusively developed by Peoplesafe, the MicroSOS includes the latest A-GPS, GSM and ‘man-down’ technologies, in a design the size of a USB stick. The device is also fully dust and waterproof to IP67 rating, making it suitable the firm says for outdoor. Fully certified to BS 8484:2016, the British Standard for Lone Worker Services, the compact MicroSOS weighs just 27 grams.
The MicroSOS is an evolution of the Peoplesafe’s MicroGuard device, but more discreet and flexible to use with bespoke accessories including a holster, ID badge holder and magnetic docking station. At the touch of a button, MicroSOS connects to Peoplesafe’s 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre certified to industry standards, including BS 8484, BS 5979 (CATI), ISO 9001 and Secured by Design.
Marketing Director, Will Murray said: “We are really excited to unveil the revolutionary MicroSOS, at this year’s Safety and Health Expo. Its predecessor – the MicroGuard has been proven in use, delivering effective help to thousands of vulnerable people, whilst being convenient to carry and easy to use. The MicroSOS incorporates more features and cutting-edge technology, packed into an even smaller and simpler design.
“The MicroSOS is the pinnacle of years of industry experience and product development, representing the next generation of personal safety alarms.”
Peoplesafe is part of the lone worker protection provider the Send For Help Group, which includes subsidiaries Skyguard and Guardian24.
