Panic Buttons for Construction

Give staff a direct way to raise the alarm.

Panic buttons for construction workers. AtlasNXT by Track24 provides Panic Alerts through the app and compatible satellite devices for construction crews who need to bring a concern to the monitoring team's attention. Connect the person raising the alarm with the operator responsible for making contact and coordinating the response.

Example scenario

A technician supporting construction work near Basra raises an app Panic Alert after floodwater blocks the road between work locations. The site manager acknowledges the alert, checks the reported position, and contacts the technician. The technician confirms they are safe at a stopping point. The operator coordinates local assistance with the site supervisor and records the next contact and outcome.

Panic Buttons for construction teams

Make the alert part of a clear contact plan
Staff can raise a Panic Alert from the app or a compatible satellite device when they need the monitoring team's attention. Before an assignment, explain who monitors alerts, when that coverage is available, and the alternative contact arrangements. Make sure each person knows how to raise an alert using the equipment they carry and what to expect afterwards.
For Construction
Construction workers and subcontractors move between sites, work areas, and shifts as the project progresses. Explain who monitors Panic Alerts from the app and compatible satellite devices, and agree alternative contact arrangements. The site manager can attempt contact after an alert and coordinate local support with the contractor supervisor.
Give the operator the next response steps
The operator attempts contact and reviews the available location and its timestamp. Relevant Standard Operating Procedures support the contact and escalation sequence. Use the incident record when tasks, decisions, and updates need to remain available across the wider response team.

Who coordinates the response after the alert?

Your organisation defines the monitoring team, response hours, escalation contacts, and local assistance arrangements. The operator follows that procedure, confirms the circumstances where possible, and records the actions and outcome.

Can staff raise Panic Alerts from satellite devices?

Yes. Staff can raise Panic Alerts from compatible satellite devices as well as the app. AtlasNXT is compatible with over 3,000 satellite devices. Request the compatible devices list to check your equipment and its supported alert functions.
