Gary was violently assaulted by a drunk patient in January 2018, while on duty. He suffered a torn ligament and serious injuries to his face, throat and neck in the attack. Two other medics were also injured and a fourth badly shaken. A man was convicted, receiving a suspended sentence.

Emergency Ambulance Crew Gary Watson is based in Croydon and has been wearing a body camera as part of the LAS trial that launched this year at four of our ambulance stations in South and North London, in which crews wear the devices.

This follows ongoing trials which have seen London Ambulance Service crews trial wearing the cameras, as well as trials in the North East of England.

The NHS announced this morning (Wednesday 2 June) that ambulance crews in England will be given body-worn cameras to try to reduce attacks on frontline medics.

Indicate the location of fire extinguishers and fire hoses within buildings like apartments, condominiums, offices, industrial buildings, warehouses, schools, hospitals and more with Safety Media's highly-visible signage. It's mandatory to have fire extinguisher signage wherever an extinguisher is mounted. For guidance on proper placement, refer to this NFPA guide. Our signage options include:

“Nobody should feel unsafe or threatened at work – particularly our crews and call handlers who continue to make huge sacrifices to care for patients and have never worked harder.

As well as the cameras, we recently recruited two violence reduction officers and launched our #NotPartoftheJob campaign, as part of ongoing work to protect our staff and volunteers.

“We go to work to help people, not to be assaulted. It’s disgusting that a minority think it’s ok to behave in such a violent way.”

“It is shameful that our staff and volunteers can be abused while caring for others and we will always push for the prosecution of anyone who attacks them.”
