How “Hero in the Environment” Works – a professional solution for internal assistance
Strengthen safety within your own organization with immediate support from colleagues
Hero in the Environment is an innovative solution by X‑Guard that enables organizations to mobilize colleagues quickly and safely during emergencies or unsafe situations. Using the X‑Guard Alarm App, team members can support each other directly, ensuring safety is always within reach – anywhere in the world. This aligns with X‑Guard’s mission: Everyone, Everywhere Secured.
Step-by-step: how it works within your organization
Step 1: Install the X‑Guard Alarm App
Employees install the X‑Guard Alarm App via the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. After installation, they register via a QR code or unique link tied to the organization, instantly connecting to the internal safety network.
Step 2: Alarm call within your organization
If a colleague feels unsafe or there’s an emergency, they can send an alarm via the app. Only colleagues from the same organization and region receive this alert – including location and a brief description. This makes the system ideal for healthcare institutions, transport firms, security providers, or large work campuses.
Step 3: Confirm your availability
Colleagues can indicate in the app whether they are available to assist. If no one responds immediately, the system automatically notifies other team members nearby.
Step 4: Take action together
Once at least two colleagues confirm they’re en route, the app shows who they are. A hands-free voice connection starts automatically between the responder(s) and the person in need, allowing real-time coordination.
Step 5: Provide support on location
Internal colleagues often arrive faster and understand the situation well. They can:
-
provide emotional support
-
offer medical assistance
-
take over a dangerous task
-
coordinate with emergency services
Need more help? Additional internal heroes can be contacted directly through the app.
Step 6: Support from the X‑Guard control center
If no colleagues are nearby or only one person is on-site:
-
the 24/7 staffed control center watches live
-
professional emergency services are dispatched as needed
-
continuous contact is maintained with both the reporter and the responders
Step 7: Help is always available – worldwide
Even when no colleagues are nearby, the control room ensures help is on the way. Wherever your team operates, no one is ever left alone.
Stronger together: secure teamwork through technology and trust
Hero in the Environment helps colleagues support each other when it matters most. Whether in healthcare, logistics, field work or security – this system builds safety from within. With X‑Guard, help is always close by: fast, professional and reliable.
