Join the organisations using Duress Alert to keep staff safer at work.
Green, red, orange. Simple enough to trust under pressure.
Duress Alert originated in Australia and has been used by hundreds of teams over more than 15 years. It keeps the staff workflow simple: press the button, show the alert onsite, acknowledge the response and keep a record for review.
Green means ready
The floating button is always available on the workstation, tray or hotkey. Staff do not have to find a phone, app or fixed desk button.
Red means help now
One click broadcasts a topmost alert to connected computers on the local network, showing who needs help and where.
Orange means responding
The first colleague to respond is recorded. The initiator sees help is on the way and the incident chronology is preserved.
The familiar Duress Alert experience, now easier to deploy and govern.
Onsite response pathPop-ups, acknowledgement and reset flow through the onsite server and connected clients, so cloud services are not in the live alert round trip.
Managed rolloutSigned policy, provisioning bundles, Windows and Mac client support, and terminal-services packages can reduce one-by-one desktop configuration.
Operational evidenceIncident lifecycle signals, client inventory, notification outcomes and operational reports help safety and IT teams review what happened.
Optional physical buttonsAdd tactile desk buttons from A$25 plus delivery where useful. They are optional: if a button is unplugged or faulty, staff can still use the screen button, tray action or hotkey.
Simple screens staff can understand under pressure.
The staff workflow stays clear: a desktop trigger, a visible alert, a response button and an incident trail. Managers and IT teams also get client identity, server visibility, policy control and rollout support around that core experience.
