Construction sites are among the work environments with an increased risk of accidents. At the same time, they are often sprawling, noisy, and constantly changing. Workplaces shift, access points change, and fixed communication structures are usually limited.
If an accident occurs in such an environment, the question quickly arises as to how help can be organized reliably and without delay – even if there is no telephone at hand.
After an accident, an emergency button is pressed
A construction worker slips on wet ground and injures his leg. His colleague is immediately at his side, assesses the situation, and calls the first responders on the construction site. Fortunately, he doesn't have to remember any phone numbers for this; he simply presses the mobile physical emergency button located directly at the workplace.
One push of a button is all it takes to start the alarm process
The emergency button is wireless and also designed for outdoor use. A visual indicator shows that the alarm has been successfully triggered.
DAKS helps to send aid where it's needed
The DAKS alarm server automatically forwards information about the triggered emergency and the location to the responsible first responders. Other responsible parties, such as site management or a safety officer, also receive the information and can support the rescue process.
Those responsible are informed and able to act
Within a very short time, everyone involved knows what has happened and where help is needed. First responders arrive on the scene within minutes, site management coordinates further steps, and external support is called in if necessary.
DAKS takes care of the documentation.
Greater security for employees – even far away from fixed infrastructure
- The physical emergency button makes it easy to raise the alarm in an emergency and ensures that it is available exactly where it is needed.
- Triggering the alarm is quick and intuitive – no phone or app is required.
- Thanks to its LoRaWAN technology, the Makrolog emergency button is wireless and flexible in use: ideal for construction sites, basements, underground car parks, or large sites, as well as for companies with distributed, mobile, or temporary workplaces.
More clarity for everyone involved
- DAKS ensures automatic, structured alarm distribution. The information goes directly to the responsible persons.
- Who is responsible in an emergency is already stored in the server, ensuring immediate action.
- The process is clearly structured and does not require manual intervention.
- No searching for a number, no time lost on explanations – the emergency is triggered immediately, those responsible are reliably reached and informed, and can coordinate effectively.
- DAKS ensures complete logging, which makes the process optimally evaluable later on.
