The safety of staff and residents in care homes is a matter of utmost importance, and the latest inspection from the authorities shows that work against threats and violence must be prioritised even higher. According to the press release from the Swedish Work Environment Authority, they will inspect the work environment in care homes, with a particular focus on threats and violence. This highlights the need for employers not only to implement safety measures but also to ensure that these measures are both effective and up to date.

Requirements on security providers: A necessity

To be able to guarantee safety for staff and residents, it is crucial that care homes set high demands on their suppliers of security equipment. It is no longer enough to only meet the minimum requirements. The technology and security solutions must be adapted to the specific challenges faced by care homes. Mobile personal alarms, for example, are one of the technical solutions that can make a significant difference. Being able to quickly call for help in a threatening situation allows staff to work more safely and with greater focus, which in turn improves both the work environment and the quality of care.
