Enhancing Workplace Safety with Duress Alarms Under Desks
The tragic shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in 2018, where 17 people lost their lives, has led to increased efforts to improve school safety nationwide. In response, several states have passed or are considering legislation called Alyssa’s Law, named after 14-year-old victim Alyssa Alhadeff. This law requires all public schools to be equipped with silent panic alarms that directly notify law enforcement during emergencies.
Pennsylvania Senators Art Haywood and Tracy Pennycuick are among those supporting the introduction of Alyssa’s Law in their state. By installing panic buttons in schools, they hope to provide a direct connection to local law enforcement, allowing for faster response times during emergencies. The law has already been signed in five states – Florida, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, and Texas – with more states working towards its implementation.
