Some of our locations use small devices that clip to a shirt in a vertical position, and send a signal and/or sound an alarm if they become horizontal for more than a defined time, like 10 seconds. That's an indication that someone is down. The user can also trigger them on their own, but someone overcome by high levels of CO or oxygen deficiency may not be able to do so before passing out. I don't know who makes them, but if you can't find them on the web, I can ask around.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Wearable Alert Devices

How many of you work in areas where there is no one else around who
may see you if there is an emergency? Do you have any type of
wearable devices that you can recommend (like Life Alert)? I don't
have staff that work in my stockroom with me at all times, for
example.

Thank you,

Monique
