Orisent has been named the winner in the Disaster and Emergency Management category of the 2024 Australian Technologies Competition (ATC), a prestigious recognition for our innovative emergency alert systems.
It’s important to regularly test your Orisent emergency alert system to ensure that your workers know how to trigger an evacuation or medical emergency alert, that the hardware and software is working as it should, and your emergency response personnel understand what action to take. How often you test your system, and how you test it, is up to you to determine.
When you’re reviewing workplace evacuation or nurse call systems, a key consideration is how easy and cost effective the system will be to install and manage. It’s likely you have a worker or team or workers who are in charge of on-site safety, but you don’t want the new system to be frustrating in its complication or ease of use. It needs complement or improve your existing emergency plan and workplace response to an evacuation or medical emergency.
This is why we’ve approached the design of our systems with the customer experience in mind. We offer a smart yet simple plug-and-play emergency alert solution. But what exactly does that mean?

What can your business do to protect them?
