Ameticulous approach to maintaining safety

Ensuring that staff equipped with its staff attack alarms are well trained in their use to maximise both their own and service-users’ safety, getting mental healthcare providers to better communicate to share lessons, experience, and expertise, and encouraging the strengthening of guidance and standards governing such technology, are among the key priorities for Guardian Staff Safety Systems, John Ridpath, the company’s sales director, told The Network’s editor, Jonathan Baillie, when they met recently at the manufacturer’s Sussex base.

Guardian Staff Safety Systems says its staff safety equipment is now ‘the preferred choice’ of several Government departments; its staff attack alert systems are also extensively used by NHS Trusts and private healthcare providers in the acute, and, particularly the mental healthcare, sectors. Alongside having installed staff safety systems into many hospitals, mental healthcare units, primary care centres, and GPs’ surgeries worldwide over the past two decades, Guardian has seen a big increase in the range of other organisations specifying such equipment – from airports, courtrooms, job centres, and bail hostels, to schools, council offices, and high street banks. Its equipment is mainly supplied, installed, and maintained, by a small network of trusted distributors.
