In some high-security settings, access control systems also provide a distress code, a way in which the employee can signal the security team to indicate either an overt emergency (such as urgent medical need, a fire, or even an active shooter) or a covert signal that they are under duress, such as an armed assailant is trying to force them to grant access to restricted areas or systems. Both types of distress codes can protect your employees from further harm, although even in military settings, the duress code option asks the employee to put themselves even further into harm's way. Your organization's security and safety requirements need to be carefully balanced if you're considering duress codes as an option.
