Executive Safety FAQ
Do I need to turn off the device to charge it?
No. It is a good practice though, as starting up resets everything to its optimum configuration. When you first get your device it is preferable to leave it charging overnight so that any software updates can be sent.
Device communications
The amber light will flash fast while booting up, then show 2 quick flashes every 5 seconds. This indicates the device is connected with the GuardianMPS server.
Connectivity
The blue light flashing indicates network and GPS communications. When connected to a 4G network, the device can connect the panic alarm call to our monitoring center. When the device sends us GPS coordinates, we can pinpoint your location. We give the location coordinates to the police if we need to dispatch them to help you.
The device will flash blue alternating as below:
1 Flash = GPS enabled, followed by;
3 Flashes = Connected to 3G
If the single flash is not showing, the device is not receiving GPS (typically due to buildings obscuring the signal). The device stores the previous GPS data even though new GPS data is not being received. That location will be sent to the response center. If the single blue flash cannot be seen, move to an outside position clear of tall building, that will ensure there is up to date GPS data.
Is the device waterproof?
To a point. It is rated to be splashed with water, but total immersion is not advised.
What if I accidently press the SOS button?
Depending on the response protocol, our monitoring center or a supervisor will try and contact you on your cell phone. In addition, the response service records any audio from the device. The response center can determine if there is a struggle, a code word or sentence being used, or just general background noise.
Is there a way for me to log visits in case I can’t raise an alarm on the device?

Mobile Working Safety System For Social Workers
70 percent of front-line child welfare workers have been victims of violence or threats in the line of duty and a review of the 585 exit interviews found that 90 percent of former child welfare workers experienced verbal threats, 30 percent experienced physical attacks, and 13 percent had been threatened with weapons. (American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees)
Social workers are the backbone of many communities. Demands on their time and emotional bandwidth have increased dramatically over the past decade. The added concern of personal safety for social workers in an increasingly complex world is a challenge for every social worker and their employer.
The growing demand on social work services and the often limited resources have contributed to an increased risk of violence. Instances of verbal and physical assault have increased and tragically some social workers have also been permanently injured or have lost their lives ‘in the line of duty’.
Establishing safety guidelines is becoming more important as the risks to social workers increase and the profession is expected to grow by 25% before 2020 (U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2012). Many of these injuries and even deaths could be prevented with increased risk assessment measures such as the Guardian MPS Mobile Working Safety System.
