OPTIONALLY THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE CAN BE HANDLED VIA OUR NETWORK OF ALARM RECEIVING CENTRES (ARCS)
Overtec LWP can operate through an independent network of Alarm Receiving Centres based in the UK. Through their BS5979 category II accreditation, the centres guarantee robust security and business continuity for lone worker protection clients.
Users receive a 24/7 response service from teams of controllers equipped with sophisticated technologies.
If the police need to be summoned to assist users in trouble, then direct links with police forces across the UK, enabled by the ARCs' outstanding record, mean faster access to the emergency services than by dialling 999.
During the incident, audio recordings will automatically be made that are available to customers for use in court proceedings and reports.
ARC accreditations:
- Personnel vetted in accordance with the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 and BS7858
- Secured by Design, a Police preferred specification
- Business processes audited to ISO9001:2008
- BS8484 accredited, the code of practice for lone worker devices and service
