What are all posts with a duress system installed required to do with the alarm monitor at the beginning of each shift?

Conduct duress check

The key idea here is making sure the duress capability is ready to protect you and others from the moment the shift begins. Posts with a duress system must perform a duress check on the alarm monitor to confirm the distress signaling path is functioning. This means verifying that pressing the duress button triggers the monitor, that the signal is properly received and logged by the central or monitoring station, and that all status indicators show a clean, fault-free state. It also helps catch any faults or tamper indicators before they matter in an emergency, and it creates a documented record that the system was tested at shift start.

Other options don’t specifically validate the duress signaling capability. A full system diagnostic, while useful, is broader and not necessarily required as the immediate start-of-shift check. Logging the shift start time is administrative, and notifying the duty officer is not a standard readiness test for the duress function itself.
