What is safety technology?
Safety technology is any device or software that helps prevent harm or get people help faster when something goes wrong. For people who work alone or face the public, that means wearable panic buttons, safety apps that share location, and dashboards that help a safety team respond.
Here's what's new in Silent Beacon's safety technology this year, from a redesigned personal safety app to the new Siren personal alarm and firmware updates for the panic button.
