HOTEL PANIC BUTTONS FOR HOUSEKEEPERS SOON MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW
Nationwide discussions are underway to determine if hotel panic buttons should be required by law. Several cities have already passed bills requiring hotels to provide panic buttons for housekeepers. Most recently a bill was introduced to the Long Beach California city council. In terms of specific policy proposals, organizers called for what they are calling "Claudia's Law" named after hotel housekeeper Claudia Sanchez, who fell into a coma after sustaining a cerebral hemorrhage while working a 14 hour shift at a Long Beach California hotel.
Sexual Harassment has become a major issue in the hospitality industry. Preliminary research shows that an alarming 89% of hotel housekeepers, and other staff had been victim to sexual harassment in their career. Of those who were a victim to sexual harassment, 56.3% claim it was a member of the public while 22.7% claim the assault was by a manager or co-worker. This is one of many examples. A panic button is not only useful in the event of an assault. You have medical emergencies such as the one in Long Beach California. In the era of see something say something, you are adding additional security to the hotel as well.
Some argue Hotel Panic buttons would not only benefit hotel housekeepers but patrons of the hotels as well. Panic Buttons can be wall mounted or worn as a necklace pendent. A simple push of a button would instantly be relayed to hotel security. A series of repeaters spaced approximately 75 feet apart ensures that no distance is too far away. Hotel Panic Button systems can cover any size facility, and with the proper software can connect to your smartphone. The reality is this will eventually become a main stay in major hotels nationwide.
Weither mandatory or not, it is only logical to provide your Staff and guests with Hotel Panic Buttons such as these:
