another incident by transferring a subsequent call Off-Site |

local centre outside office hours or during staff holidays |

be rationalised to comply with 'working time' legislation, and
incidents handled by a local control centre outside office hours |

system test package allows warden call systems to make a timed
test to a control centre, ensuring telephone line and system
integrity |

support provided |

site security, especially in an emergency |

to respond to and monitor visitors to the site |

additional benefits from linking these to the warden call system |
