There is a problem that almost no one talks about, but everyone who works with workplace environment feels it.

Within the healthcare and social care sector, 45 percent state that during the past year they have worked alone and risked ending up in unsafe or threatening situations. And many times the alarms do not function as they should. It is no shock, but unfortunately, that is the case. While workplaces modernise, safety routines have remained stagnant.

It is not enough that the staff “have an alarm on them”. When something actually happens, the truth comes out. Many organisations have safety that worked well in 2012, but which in 2026 is outdated and unreliable.

When safety is absent – what do you do then?

If you are responsible for alarms, security or workplace environment in a municipality or a company, this concerns you. 2026 demands higher requirements. Safety must work in reality, not just in policy documents.

– It is no longer enough to just have an alarm to press in dangerous situations. We live in 2026, and now it is about:
– the alarm actually capturing the situation,
– the right help arriving, and arriving quickly,
– and you as an employer being able to show that everything works. Not just hope.

If your alarm system still relies on outdated technology, then you cannot wait any longer.

When your staff raise an alarm, does the alarm centre receive the correct information? Do colleagues know that a colleague is raising an alarm? Have you test-activated your alarms in the past year?

If the answer is “I think so”, then you have a problem.

Why many security solutions are insufficient

We often talk about “personal alarms”, and honestly, many suppliers offer models that hardly do the job:

They depend on old mobile networks or poor coverage. (On 1 December 2025, the 2G and 3G networks were switched off)
They give you too little data, too little control and very little insight.
They stop at “just alerting”, but they do not help you to prevent or act proactively.

You should demand more from your supplier

When you replace or implement personal alarms, we talk about protecting people from accidents, assaults and in the worst case from life-threatening consequences. As you notice, many suppliers do not deliver at a sufficiently high level. But of course you should be able to set demands on your supplier.

Make sure they meet these requirements:

Works over 4G (at least)
Have a portal/administration where you see status, position, history.
They should adapt their solution based on the operation: lone work, field work, care etc.
Real-time alarms + internal alarms
Compliance and documentation for workplace environment requirements.

What Securdia does differently

Here is what really sets Securdia apart from traditional players:

1. Future-proof communication (4G-ready)

Securdia delivers personal alarms with 4G-based connectivity, not technology that is already shut down.

Now that the 2G/3G networks have begun to be phased out, you do not have time for “but our alarm usually works”. You need technology that always works, and that is tested for here and now.

2. Complete portal and holistic solution instead of just an alarm button

With Securdia's own portal SecurCloud you get full control:

– See the status of all alarms in real time.
– Live tracking.
– Internal alarms between colleagues + SMS/email notifications at low battery.
– Alarm to the alarm centre.
– Customised settings for each workplace environment.

Our cloud service SecurCloud gives managers more opportunities to improve the workplace environment, gain more insight regarding alarm usage and make it easier for the exposed person to get help quickly.

3. Operation-adapted solutions for real workplace environments

Our solutions work for people who work alone, in vulnerable environments, such as field work, care, home visits etc.

Instead of just offering a product and leaving you with an alarm and a small manual, we help you with risk analysis, understanding workplace environment requirements and implementing everything you need for the staff to feel safe.

4. Data and follow-up – control is yours

Since SecurCloud saves history, positions and shows the device status, you get lots of data you can use to understand how safety works in your organisation. Everything is collected in the portal so you can make decisions based on data. It becomes easy to know what to do to improve the workplace environment for employees at all your workplaces.

Summary: Don’t wait – secure your alarms now

Your staff deserve to feel safe at work. It should be a given in 2026. They should know that their technology works, that the alarm reaches through, and that help comes quickly.

If you are still relying on older technology, it’s time to try something different.
