Lone worker security specialist Safe Shores Monitoring sees RSPB tie-up hit new heights

The Glasgow-based firm said the contract continues its nine-year tie-up with the RSPB: Picture: John Devlin.

The Glasgow-based firm said the contract continues its nine-year tie-up with the organisation, extending an initial deal to deliver a “cost-effective, customised solution” that offers lone workers protection quickly.

Safe Shores Monitoring chief executive Tom Morton said: “The service means RSPB’s staff and volunteers, who are often out working in remote and rural areas, can access help at the push of a button. Response is significantly quicker since the callers are immediately identifiable and are not subject to questioning delays traditionally incurred by the 999 system.

“Forward-thinking organisations such as RSBP are aware they have a duty of care which requires them to do what they can to ensure the safety of all their workforce. Everyone has a right to feel safe while they’re at work.”

Morton said the RSPBs staff and volunteers can access help at the push of a button. Picture: contributed.

RSPB workers are using a newly improved system designed by Safe Shores Monitoring, which gives full access to their data in a way that is easily accessible and compliant with legislation.

Safe Shores Monitoring added that it has offered the charity a “flexible” billing model, suitable for the tight budgets typical of the charitable sector and allowing for seasonal work and the sharing of devices to maximise cost-effectiveness.
