Lone worker alarms provide a fast and discreet means for lone workers to alert their team when they need help. They can be provided through standalone devices, Bluetooth buttons and bespoke apps, helping at-risk workers get the help they need when they need it most.

Smart lone worker alarms raise an alert automatically, share safety information and start live GPS tracking as soon as they are triggered by the user, ensuring they can receive assistance wherever they are in the world. They also feature 'Status Checks' which give the user visual feedback on the strength of their network signal, GPS coverage and battery life.

The Safepoint app -through customised timed 'tasks' lone workers can set up, if they fail to check in as safe before their 'task' is due to run out an alarm is automatically raised and emergency assistance can be requested within seconds through the single tap of the app.

Discreet yet durable wearable devices - worn on a wrist, key ring or lanyard, these alarms are extremely light weight and comfortable. They are waterproof, shock proof and stow away neatly when not in use.

Fall detection & panic alarms (man-down) -built-in fall detection ensures the user's contact is notified instantly of their position and sent emergency assistance as soon as they are unable to call for help. They also have a panic button on the side for a quick, easy-to-access panic alert.

Most countries, states and provinces around the world have a legal requirement for employers to provide lone workers with an easily accessible way to request emergency assistance should they need it. This is particularly true for roles where the risks of working alone are heightened by the public or the environment in which they work such as care, nurses, security guards and taxi drivers.
