Triggering an alert

How to trigger an alert in the Safepoint Mobile App

Written by James Rogers

An Alert in Safepoint is an urgent notification raised when there’s a potential risk to your safety. Alerts can be triggered manually by a worker or automatically by the system, and they are always directed to guardians or, if enabled, to Safepoint’s 24/7 monitoring centre, more info here.
