TalkTalk engineers to be protected by Skyguard
TalkTalk will equip its engineers working alone or out of hours with Skyguard’s MySOS personal safety devices. The portable tech includes a GPS, a two-way communicator, a fall detector and the ability to monitor ambient sound if required. In the event of an emergency, the alarm sends a message via mobile phone, allowing operators to locate and identify users. Alan Cowlishaw, compliance engineer for TalkTalk, said the MySOS device offered “peace of mind that our engineers have protection when out working”.
