Keeping your lone workers safe

Slips, trips and falls remain the biggest cause of workplace accidents across many industries around the world. Whether falling from a height, tripping on wiring or other hazards, falls can be dangerous for your employees and even fatal in some cases.

Using a Man Down device could help protect your lone workers from falls, and give them peace of mind that you will be there to support them should they suffer a fall. A Man Down alarm will detect if a lone worker has fallen or is unconscious, sending a call to your monitoring team to alert them that they need help.

Our latest Man Down App feature helps keep your lone workers even safer by monitoring their movement, and alerting your nominated emergency contacts if there is no motion within a set time (set by you). This could be for a number of reasons: as a precaution against violence, or to ensure that they aren't left alone.





The app can also be configured to trigger an alert if the lone worker remains in one position for a preset amount of time (time set by you). Once the duration has elapsed, the Man Down/No Motion detection feature will call out to your nominated emergency contacts if no motion has occurred during this time.

Having a Man Down alarm will reduce the time that it takes for your lone workers to receive assistance, which can be the difference between life and death. Having an emergency response can also improve the chances of a worker making a full recovery, reducing the risk of further injury. NZ lone worker
