Salt Lake City — Aegix Global, a leader in safety and incident management solutions, has unveiled its newest panic button technology, designed specifically for educators and school administrators. Panic buttons, which are now required by law in every Utah classroom, integrate seamlessly with the award-winning Aegix AIM platform, ensuring schools have access to rapid emergency response tools tailored to their unique needs.
For over three decades, the Aegix Global team has supported schools in creating safer, more effective learning environments. “We’ve been working hand-in-hand with educators since 1991, and there’s no organization better equipped to address the complexities of keeping teachers, students and administrators safe,” said Chet Linton, CEO of Aegix Global. “Our panic button technology empowers teachers with a simple, reliable way to alert responders and initiate safety protocols during critical moments.”
Supporting Utah Legislation and Education Safety
The panic button solution is designed with educators in mind, combining ease of use with powerful functionality. In accordance with H.B. 84, each classroom in Utah must have a staff person equipped with a wearable panic alert device that allows for immediate contact with emergency services or emergency services agencies, law enforcement agencies, health departments and fire departments.
The highly accessible and programmable panic button can be worn on a wrist, lanyard, lapel and so on. The buttons can be programed to meet specific operating procedures for the district and school. During a critical incident, when someone needs assistance or feels threatened, teachers can instantly alert school administrators and first responders while also activating Aegix AIM, which brings online a full suite of emergency management resources. Aegix AIM live responsive maps, multi-directional communication, dynamic reunification, comprehensive reporting capabilities, and other powerful tools that can be accessed via smart phone, tablet, desktop, laptop, etc. for seamless coordination across an entire community during emergencies.
With an eye on Utah’s commitment to enhancing school safety, Aegix’s solutions align with statewide legislative efforts to protect students and staff. By equipping schools with cutting-edge tools, Aegix is helping Utah set the standard for proactive safety measures.
“As a trusted partner to schools and emergency responders, Aegix Global is committed to providing tools that save lives and promote peace of mind,” added Linton. “This new panic button technology is an essential part of that mission. We want educators to put their energy toward helping students be successful, not worrying about safety. This solution helps teachers and students feel safe so they can focus on learning.”
