NJ to Consider Panic Buttons for Hotel Workers

New Jersey is considering requiring most hotels to provide employees with panic buttons they can use to summon help if they are threatened or attacked while working.

A bill introduced in the state Legislature would require the devices to be provided at any hotel with 25 or more rooms.

The devices are already in use at some hotels in Las Vegas, New York, Washington, Seattle and Chicago.

The panic buttons would be provided at no cost to the hotel employees.
