Posted By Steve Conway I'm looking for a telephone, radio or other electronic system suitable for use in a laboratory situation where the person has to work alone on a regular basis. I'd be grateful for details (source, effectiveness, ease of use, cost etc) of any such systems. Thanks Steve.

Posted By Stuart Nagle Steve. There are quiate a few systems on the market. I suggest you explore by looking at ad's in H&S Practitioner, and also by using your browser on www. UI would also suggest that you look to having a system that has a built-in DSU (Distress Signal Unit) that will detect non-movement of the person if no movement is made within a certain time-frame i.e they could be incapacitated ect. Hope this helps... Stuart Nagle

Posted By Barry Cooper Steve, I have just purchased a system from AOK safety. It will alarm if no movement is detected or the person falls down, it also has a panic button. false alarms can be avoided as it has a reset button. When it triggers it can be programmed to call up to 3 phone numbers to notify other personnel. If you contact me on: barry.cooper@sappi-europe.com I will forward contact numbers

Posted By Jeff Deacon You could also try Coleshill Alarms of Fillongley Mount, Fillongley, Warwick. I used their system in a LGV maintenance shop for many years. It was robust, and did actually call for help when the situation warranted.
