Conversation around panic buttons has been renewed as the pandemic has changed hotel workers' jobs. Radisson Hotel Group is bringing panic buttons made by Relay to all of its managed hotels in the US. The past year of the COVID-19 pandemic has brought discussions of worker safety to the fore and revived talks around what businesses should be required to do to keep their staff safe. In the hospitality world, a growing number of US states and municipalities are now requiring hotels to equip workers with panic buttons, doubling down on industry efforts that began a few years ago. If a worker believes they're in danger, he or she can press the device and summon help to their location.
