How do educational institutions use MultiBel?

MultiBel is widely used within the education sector for emergency response team alerting and personal safety alarms. From primary schools to universities, there is a growing need to communicate quickly and effectively during incidents and emergencies.

By using MultiBel, a common operational picture is established more rapidly, ensuring that everyone receives the right information and understands exactly what is expected of them. This enables a faster, more coordinated response and contributes to a safer learning and working environment.

Emergency Response Team

A collision in the schoolyard, a fall from the gym equipment, an accident with hazardous substances in the science lab. Rapid communication with the emergency response officers in education is of great importance for the safety and health of teachers and students.

Panic button / emergency button

Unfortunately, schools regularly face incidents involving aggressive pupils, fights and, in some cases, confrontations with parents during parent-teacher meetings. To help protect your staff, fixed and portable emergency or panic buttons can be deployed.

At the touch of a button, colleagues receive an alert within seconds, know the exact location of the person in distress and can provide assistance immediately. This enables a faster response and helps create a safer environment for both staff and pupils.

Alarm in case of fire

In the event of a fire alarm, hundreds, perhaps thousands of students have to leave the building at the same time. It is important that the emergency response team knows immediately where the fire is and how the evacuation must be initiated. By linking MultiBel to your fire alarm control panel, you will immediately receive the location of the fire alarm with the alarm. Your EROs can then immediately communicate with each other to ensure that the evacuation proceeds as quickly as possible.

Presence registration

The investigation of risks determines how many emergency response officers the school needs. Illnesses, holidays, multiple buildings, schedules, all causes that often prevent the minimum being achieved in practice. The attendance board also does not provide the desired insight and is not always updated. With MultiBel you always have insight into the actual number of emergency response officers present, you can analyze the daily presence and you are able to call only those present.

IT calamities

Large-scale IT calamities can lead to the entire digital infrastructure being shut down, while dependence on schools and universities is increasing. With MultiBel you can ensure that you can call all IT staff within seconds in the event of an IT calamity. In addition, the system offers the possibility to consult with each other in the conference call. In this way, everyone is kept informed of what is going on and the system offers a way to initiate communication much faster.

Aggression and active threat alarm

An effective active threat alarm is about more than simply triggering an alert. It requires rapid communication, clear instructions and effective coordination. Schools often face challenges such as reaching everyone on site immediately, providing location-specific instructions, communicating with emergency services, preventing false alarms and ensuring that staff are adequately trained to respond in a crisis situation
