Hotel panic button laws
for safer hospitality

Creating a safe environment for guests and staff has always been and always will be paramount in the hospitality industry. In fact, back in 2018, the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) launched its 5-Star Promise initiative, “a voluntary commitment by AHLA members to enhance policies, trainings, and resources, including employee safety devices, that together are aimed at strengthening safety and security for hotel employees and guests,” as defined on their website.

 

With the ever-evolving landscape of hotel safety, states and cities are beginning to enact hotel panic button laws and regulations that require hotels to provide employees, particularly those working alone in guest rooms or other isolated areas, with panic buttons or emergency alert capabilities. These regulations aim to enable employees to quickly summon assistance in the event of harassment, assault or other threatening situations. By requiring hotels to provide panic button capabilities, policymakers aim to mitigate the risk of such incidents and ensure the well-being of hotel staff. To further align with these mandates and emphasize the importance of employee safety, one of the five components of AHLA’s 5-star-promise is “Employee Safety Devices: Provide U.S. hotel employees with employee safety devices to help them feel safe on the job.” It’s clear that hotel safety is a top priority for the hospitality industry, and panic buttons are at the forefront of it.

What is a hotel panic button?

Hotel panic buttons or emergency alert devices are tools designed to be easily accessible and allow the user to discreetly alert security personnel or management in case of an emergency or threatening situation. Implementing panic buttons in the hospitality industry aims to enhance employee safety and provide a rapid response to potentially dangerous situations.
