Don't panic, de-escalate

Workplace violence poses a significant threat to healthcare workers, particularly nurses. As security officers, you have a crucial responsibility in maintaining safety within healthcare facilities. Hospitals, with their unique environment, often experience type 2 violence, where the aggressor is likely a patient or visitor. In this context, having an effective way to de-escalate situations before they turn into a physical attack is essential for creating a safer healthcare environment.

In healthcare settings, false alarms can create unnecessary panic and divert attention from critical situations. By implementing de-escalation buttons, security officers can ensure that only major alerts reach their attention. These buttons serve as a targeted intervention tool, allowing officers to swiftly assess and respond to genuine threats while minimizing unnecessary disruptions.
