Octavian Security keeps lone workers safer in their jobs

Octavian Security has launched a new service offering to keep lone workers, such as pizza delivery drivers, security officers and nursing staff, safer in their jobs.
The new service will see potentially vulnerable workers carrying a device, which both tracks their location and enables them to send an SOS message to the 24 hour Octavian Security Control Centre that will be monitoring them. In case of an emergency, they will signal or speak to the Control Centre, which will then send an officer response team to their aid and contact the police if necessary. The new system even boasts a ‘man down’ alert that actually senses when the wearer has fallen.
This new service provision has been devised by Kavita Oberoi, who now co-owns the business with founder Sukhi Ghuman. It represents the first service offer born of the marriage of security and technology that was promised by Kavita Oberoi when she became involved in the business.

Kavita, who also owns the healthcare and pharma technology consultancy Oberoi Consulting Limited, first became involved in Octavian as she saw such a great opportunity to integrate further technology solutions to Octavian’s existing manned guarding services.
She says: “The security industry has been providing manned response units for businesses for years, but not specifically for individual workers. Whilst it’s not always practical financially or operationally to have a security guard accompany each vulnerable lone worker, it’s very possible to provide a monitoring and quick response service for them.
“Monitoring high risk workers during their working day and even getting to and from work on late shifts, the service will not only safeguard the individual but also the CSR of the organisation that is asking the worker to operate potentially at risk.”
Octavian Security is also using the same remote monitoring technology to safeguard its own officers, and offering the service to competitor security companies that wish to monitor the safety of their officers.
Kavita has already introduced the service offering as a pilot to an organisation with a nationwide team of nurses that provide drug administration to end of life patients, for whom nurse protection is paramount. Additionally Sukhi, who now deals with all non-UK based Octavian business, is also seeking to promote this new initiative in the USA.
