Not always, we would recommend the best solution for your particular environment.  A simple small open plan office with one set of toilets and a coffee area could perhaps make do with a visual alarm and buddy system.  We would however recommend the combination of a technical system and a man managed solution.  This gives you a fallback and ensure that if one option fails (for whatever reason) you have a backup. Â
Our approach is that whatever system best suits, it should be cost effective and appropriate. Â And as mentioned in previous sections, our focus is on complex, difficult environments. Â Our experience is that few systems can compete with DeafWatch for safety, security of signal, and low cost.
