Lone Worker Personal Alarm

The simplest way to protect workers at risk is by having them carry a mobile device with an app that allows them to summon help when they need it. With this, staff can get the help they need at the moment they need it – without having to wait for a supervisor or manager to call them back.

These apps can provide support in a wide range of situations ranging from simple check-ins to more serious emergencies. Many also include GPS tracking, so that when employees are in high-risk or emergency situations, their exact location can be tracked by dispatchers.

Having the right lone worker protection system is important for any organisation, but especially those that have employees working alone in dangerous situations. These employees could be in the construction, hospitality, security or healthcare sectors.

Some lone worker devices have an alarm button that can be triggered from a fixed position such as a pendant device or mobile phone. When this button is pressed, it sends a duress alarm to a monitoring centre or designated contact person.

Lone Worker Alarm Other lone worker protection devices have an alarm function that can detect a fall or man-down situation. If this happens, the device will send a duress alert to management or a monitor, and emergency assistance is sent straight to the employee’s GPS location.

As well as ensuring your lone workers receive help when they need it, a good lone worker protection solution will meet all of the other requirements set out by government health and safety regulations. These include having a robust lone worker policy and procedures in place, regular testing of the system, and access to alarm reporting that can be used to track genuine Red Alerts for legal reasons, or for internal training and best practice.
