Deter attackers with a personal safety alarm. They work by disorientating the attacker to give you a better chance of escaping the danger. They emit a very loud (over 100dB) sound, which gives you valuable seconds to run away and call for help. If the person is surprised and they don’t expect the sound, this can throw them off and provide an opportunity for you to escape.
At Hunt Office UK, you’ll find a range of alarms from brands including Helix and Purell. There are different types available - for example, those which are activated with a rip-cord. There are also options with a torch included. Explore the range and buy online today
What kind of sound is most effective for a personal safety alarm? It should be different to what people hear in day to day life - for example, sounds similar to a car often get ignored. Instead, a continuous siren-like sound is advised because this isn’t common to hear such a loud sound in everyday life. As a result, this increases your chances of getting attention from passers by.
Remember: triggering a personal safety alarm is just one thing you can do in the event of an attack. It is also advised to run towards a crowded place and call the Gardai if possible.
If you are in a situation where you’re being attacked, you may be under a lot of pressure to quickly find and activate the alarm. That’s why it’s advisable to have it in a place that’s easily accessible. A good practice is to keep your personal alarm together with your wallet, be it in a pocket or purse. A lot of attackers are looking for your wallet. When you go to hand it to them, if your personal safety alarm is there you can use it against them swiftly
An alarm is more effective the closer you put it to the attacker’s ear. Hold it in your hand and direct it towards the attacker’s head if possible.

about First Alert Carbon Monoxide Detector Alarm LED and Fittings 85dB |
||
Great Product Great Idea! | ||
"We have a busy maintenance department and because there are all
different sizes of vehicles being repaired at any given time,
our safety officer decided to put in place a system that would
alert the mechanics to high levels of carbon monoxide. We bought
these kidde carbon monoxide alarms from hunt office and they
were very cheap for the work that they do. The alarm is tested
every friday in conjunction with the fire alarm system and it
has a really loud sounder. It is battery operated too so if the
power cuts out the alarm will still work. Great product and a
great idea." |
