“In what other profession do you need panic buttons?”
I’m just gonna look awkwardly at bank tellers, convenience store clerks, and so many other front-line customer service jobs that either have or would greatly benefit from a panic button to deal with dangerous customer interactions or outright robbery.
I used to work in a hospital laboratory. You bet your butt we have panic buttons that call security to our spot when needed. And notice I said when and not if, that’s because they do get used once in a blue moon.
I’ve seen crazy patients, crazy coworkers, and crazy coworker’s relations trying to start shit causing the need for security to be called. Seriously hospitals are a concentrated cesspit of people experiencing high emotions/stress at the worst time in their lives. I remember the panic buttons being installed almost 2 decades ago after an incident where a coworker’s partner showed up one night and beat the shit out of them in the middle of the lab.

Absolutely. I worked as a bouncer in clubs where Bartenders and DJs had alarm and panic buttons.
Even lab environments have emergency shutdown buttons, though for safety not security reasons.
Humans work a lot of dangerous jobs and very often the danger is human.

Wait, so one of the lab workers becomes the human threat? Or when were they needed?

Yeah and literally any production floor.
