Safety Monitoring of Personnel
Each individual equipped with a worker worn man-down
device is monitored for PASS Status such as ON, OFF, or
ALARM. *PASS stands for Personal Alert Safety System
Each worker worn device can be sent an Call-Back, Report-
In, or Roll Call Signal with a simple button press
All personnel within range at the facility are automatically
populated in the Grace-Watch software and are sorted in
real-time based on priority, with Fall-Alarm being the
highest priority
When an Alarm, Call-Back, Report-In, or Roll Call signal is
present, the worker worn device will go into a loud audio
alarm indicating to the wearer that action is required
