How it works

SoloProtect's mass notification system is called “Risk Messaging”. The system allows managers to send emergency risk messages to employees from the SoloProtect Insights platform to notify them of an existing incident or potential risk that could affect their personal safety or their ability to do their job e.g. terrorist threats, adverse weather, traffic accidents or incidents of violence.

With Risk Messaging, "forewarned is forearmed".

Mass Notification System benefits

A secure and quick way to proactively communicate urgent information.
Prevents harm to workers or members of the public as they are forewarned of an incident.
Effective and auditable alternative to SMS, WhatsApp, social media, intranets, emails, or phone calls.
Identifies which members of staff haven’t yet acknowledged the message so further action can be taken to contact them.
Makes efficient use of a customer’s existing safety solution, which already contains up to date escalation information for each user.
Available on the SoloProtect Mobile app for iOS and Android.

Who should use a mass notification system?

A mass communication platform can be used by any organization to quickly communicate risk alerts. However, it is particularly useful for organizations that have large, sprawling sites (e.g. schools, Government, shopping malls, entertainment venues, hospitals and airports) and/or organizations that have a lot of lone or remote workers (e.g. real estate, home health and social care, transport and logistics, and construction). It can also be used for protecting homeworkers.

What type of risk messages should be sent via the mass notification system?

The type of risk messages that should be sent through SoloProtect’s mass notification system depends on an organisation’s internal policies and procedures - i.e. some organisations may only use it for high-level emergency incidents such as terrorism threats, whereas others may use it for less severe notifications such as traffic congestion. However, in the main, risk messages are aimed at:

  • Allowing colleagues to avoid an existing or likely incident,
  • Ensuring key responders have the information they need to support or diffuse a situation, and
  • Providing instructions for the evacuation of a site in an emergency.

What is the purpose of an emergency mass notification system?

An emergency mass notification system is an extremely effective way to quickly communicate information to employees to ensure their safety and facilitate crisis management more broadly. However, it can also play a significant role in an organisation’s business continuity plan, where maintaining service during an incident is paramount.
