Example scenario

When a technician is threatened at a street cabinet

A utility technician repairing a street cabinet in Manchester is threatened by a member of the public and raises an app Panic Alert. The duty operator acknowledges the alert, checks the reported position and timestamp, and calls the technician, who has returned to the van. The service supervisor arranges for a colleague to attend, and the duty team records each contact and the outcome.

SOS for Utilities

Put the alert in context
Panic Alerts from the app and compatible satellite devices bring a request for help into the operator’s workflow. The conversation and available location information help the operator reach the person and coordinate support from one place.
Respond across the network
When a Panic Alert comes in from a callout or depot, the control room operator can review it, attempt contact, and brief the field supervisor on the confirmed circumstances. The shared record keeps local assistance and outstanding actions visible.
Carry the response through to handover
Standard Operating Procedures put the relevant contact and escalation steps beside the response. Use Incident Management to assign follow-up, record decisions, and give colleagues a shared view of progress through the handover.

How do Panic Alerts connect to our response procedures?

Link Standard Operating Procedures categories to Panic Alerts so operators can work through the relevant steps alongside the conversation and available location information. Incident Management supports assigned tasks and a shared record when the response involves several colleagues.

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.
