COMMON PANIC BUTTON LOCATIONS

Where Panic Buttons May Be Useful

Panic buttons are usually placed where staff may need quick access to a manual emergency trigger. The right location depends on the workplace, staff workflow and the type of risk being addressed.

01
FRONT DESK

Reception Counter

A panic button may be placed discreetly near the reception area where staff interact directly with visitors or members of the public.

PLACEMENT IDEA Under Counter • Within Easy Reach
02
RETAIL

Cashier & Service Counter

Retail staff may benefit from a discreet trigger near the cashier or service counter where cash handling or customer interaction takes place.

PLACEMENT IDEA Under Counter • Staff Side
03
CLINIC

Reception & Consultation Areas

Clinics and other service environments may use panic buttons at reception or selected staff areas where assistance may occasionally be needed quickly.

PLACEMENT IDEA Reception • Selected Staff Areas
04
OFFICE

Front Office & Management Areas

Offices may place panic buttons at selected locations where staff regularly interact with visitors, clients or members of the public.

PLACEMENT IDEA Reception • Meeting Area • Selected Desk
05
CASH HANDLING

Payment or Cash-Control Areas

A discreet emergency trigger may be considered in locations where staff regularly handle cash, payments or other sensitive transactions.

PLACEMENT IDEA Concealed • Staff-Accessible
06
STAFF-ONLY

Selected Internal Areas

Depending on the workplace, panic buttons may also be installed in selected internal or staff-only areas where quick manual access is useful.

PLACEMENT IDEA Based on Staff Workflow
Placement matters as much as the button itself. A panic button should be reachable when needed but positioned so that it does not interfere with normal work or become easy to trigger accidentally.

PANIC BUTTON SETUP OPTIONS

The Right Setup Depends on Where and How It Will Be Used

A panic button should be easy for authorised staff to reach, while still fitting naturally into the workplace. Different sites may need different mounting positions or connection methods.

01
FIXED INSTALLATION

Surface-Mounted Panic Button

A fixed panic button can be installed at a selected workstation, reception area or staff location where quick access is required.

SUITABLE WHEN A clearly defined emergency trigger point is needed
02
DISCREET PLACEMENT

Under-Table or Under-Counter Installation

Panic buttons can be positioned discreetly below a desk or counter so staff can reach them without making the trigger immediately obvious.

SUITABLE WHEN Discreet access is more important than visible placement
03
COMPATIBLE WIRELESS

Wireless Panic Button Option

Some alarm systems may support compatible wireless panic devices where additional wiring is impractical or the installation needs more flexibility.

SUITABLE WHEN The installed system supports compatible wireless devices
04
EXISTING SYSTEM

Connected to an Existing Alarm Input

Where the existing alarm panel supports it, a panic button may be added as a dedicated input or zone rather than installing a completely separate system.

SUITABLE WHEN The current alarm panel has compatible input capacity
05
MULTIPLE LOCATIONS

More Than One Panic Point

Larger workplaces may require panic buttons at more than one location so selected staff can access a trigger without crossing the premises.

SUITABLE WHEN Different counters, rooms or work areas need separate access
Placement should be decided with the actual staff workflow in mind. The best location is usually one that is quick to reach, difficult to trigger accidentally and appropriate for the way staff use the area.

PANIC BUTTON + ALARM + CCTV

Different Systems Can Support the Same Emergency Response

A panic button is only one part of the security setup. Depending on the system, the panic trigger can work alongside alarm and CCTV functions to support a clearer response when an incident occurs.

01
MANUAL TRIGGER

Panic Button

Gives staff a direct way to manually trigger a configured emergency response when immediate assistance may be needed.

MAIN ROLE Manual emergency activation
02
RESPONSE

Alarm System

Receives the panic input and activates the programmed response, depending on the alarm panel and system configuration.

MAIN ROLE Process the trigger and activate alerts
03
VISUAL CHECK

CCTV

CCTV can help staff or authorised users visually check selected areas and review what happened around the time of an incident.

MAIN ROLE Visual verification & recording
EXAMPLE RESPONSE LOGIC

From Manual Trigger to Situation Check

01 Staff presses the panic button
→
02 Connected system receives the trigger
→
03 Configured alert or alarm response activates
→
04 CCTV can help check the situation
These systems do not always need to be directly integrated. A panic button, alarm and CCTV can still support the same security procedure even when they operate as separate systems. Specific integration depends on equipment compatibility and configuration.
Plan Your Emergency Setup
NEW INSTALLATION OR EXISTING SYSTEM

A New Panic Button Setup Is Different From Adding One to an Existing System

Some sites need a new panic-button setup from scratch, while others already have an alarm or security system that may be able to support an additional panic input.

01
NEW PANIC BUTTON SETUP

Plan the Trigger Points Around Staff Workflow

For a new installation, panic-button locations can be selected based on where staff work, where they may need quick access and how discreet the trigger should be.

+ Identify the staff positions that need panic access
+ Decide whether the button should be visible or concealed
+ Plan wiring or compatible wireless options
+ Determine the required alarm or alert response
+ Test the final trigger position with staff access in mind
BEST FOR New counters, offices, clinics, retail spaces or workplaces without an existing panic trigger
02
EXISTING SECURITY SYSTEM

Check Compatibility Before Adding the Button

If an alarm or other compatible system is already installed, the current panel, inputs and configuration should be checked before a panic button is added.

+ Identify the existing alarm or security panel
+ Check whether a compatible panic input or zone is available
+ Review existing wiring and power where relevant
+ Confirm what response the current system can support
+ Add the new panic point only where compatibility is suitable
BEST FOR Sites that already have an alarm or compatible security system installed
CHECK Existing Alarm Panel

Confirm the panel model, available zones or inputs and supported response.

CHECK Wiring & Location

Review whether the intended panic-button location can be connected cleanly.

CHECK Alert Behaviour

Confirm what should happen when the panic button is activated.

Adding a panic button does not always require a completely new alarm system. The existing setup should be checked first so the installation can be based on actual compatibility rather than assumptions.

DISCREET PLACEMENT

Under-Table Panic Buttons

Concealed placement can make the button easier for staff to access discreetly from their normal working position.

01 Reachable

Staff should be able to reach the button without leaving their normal position.

02 Discreet

The button can be positioned so it is not immediately visible to visitors or customers.

03 Practical

The final location should reduce accidental activation while remaining easy to access.

The best panic-button position depends on the actual workstation. Desk height, counter layout, staff position, wiring route and the way the area is used should all be considered before installation.

PANIC BUTTON FAQ

Common Questions About Panic Button Installation

Panic button setups vary depending on the workplace, alarm panel, wiring and the type of response required. These are some of the most common questions we receive.

Already have an alarm system? We can review the existing setup first to see whether a compatible panic input can be added.

A panic button provides a manual way for staff to trigger a configured emergency alert or alarm response when immediate assistance may be needed.

It is usually installed where authorised staff can reach it quickly, such as under a reception counter, cashier desk, workstation or selected staff-only area. The exact position should also reduce the chance of accidental activation.
