Staff Safety At Copenhagen Jobcentre

The jobcentre in Copenhagen, Denmark’s capital and most populated city, has consolidated most of its employment support facilities into one large jobcentre. The large, multi-story and multi-building jobcentre has many counsellors and other support staff. The jobcentre covers an area of 36000 m2, and 1100 people work there daily. The number of visitors in a day can be as many as 2000. The jobcentre has its own security team who safeguard the staff against frustrated and therefore angry clients.

All staff members are wearing the ZONITH ID Cardholder with their access control card inserted into the front. Also the mounted, wireless panic buttons are in the meeting rooms and reception areas of the jobcenter. Finally, these panic buttons combine with the ZONITH control room software become a highly sophisticated panic alarm call system. It dispatches automatically and fasts alarms to the closest security guard.

To ensure staff members are safe while outside, Bluetooth Receivers are inside the weatherproof enclosures. Should a distress situation arise outside, the staff can press the panic button on their ID cardholder. Thus will inform the security guards about where they should rush to.

Bjarne Hansen, Facility and Security Manager

“We have been using ZONITH's staff safety solutions for years in other jobcentres. Now we have moved into our new large jobcentre. So it was natural to install the latest version of the system to ensure all staff can request security support without the clients noticing.”
