ARA Protection, facing the camera

Don't remain helpless

What solution can be used to respond immediately to a sudden attack in the workplace?

Unable to flee or hide, the only course of action currently recommended in the first few minutes of an attack is to use a shield or makeshift weapon. Rarely available, often unsuitable, and sometimes even disproportionate, this lack of a solution causes anxiety and most often leads to inaction or even shock.

On average, 14 minutes elapse between the alert and the arrival of emergency services. An eternity during which victims are helpless.

ARA was designed precisely for this moment!

It is an elegant, discreet coat rack that blends perfectly into the professional environment, providing reassurance without ever causing concern. But in the event of tension, a simple gesture allows it to become an immediately available safety solution, so you are no longer left helpless.

ARA thus fulfills two essential safety functions, which, when combined, make this innovation unique:

• Alert others using an alarm and strobe light to deter the attacker and attract witnesses and reinforcements.

And if conditions require it:

• Protect yourself by using the retractable part as a shield to maintain a safe distance, while spatially destabilizing the attacker in order to escape from danger as quickly as possible.

ARA is not a weapon or a gadget! It is a piece of office furniture for mixed use, easy to integrate, compatible with all professional environments, quality of life at work, and employer obligations.

But it's not just a product. Dedicated training courses and recommendation audits extend the overall concept. They enable users to understand when and how to act appropriately, without excess or hesitation.

That is why ARA PROTECTION relies on a network of certified trainers from the security sector.

There are two formats:

• Short-term support to build trust among as many people as possible,
• In-depth support for the security sector.
