Lone Worker Alarms
Lone working can be dangerous and it is a legal requirement for employers to have systems in place to manage this risk. While it may be easy to think of industrial workers as being the ones that need a lone worker alarm, even office workers can have challenges with their safety and need to ensure they have the right devices in place. With an increasing amount of people now working alone, it’s important that they have the right tools to protect themselves and a lone worker alarm provides this.


Lone worker alarms are designed to allow a lone worker to call for help in an emergency and track their location so that responders can quickly get to them in the event of an incident occurring. Some lone worker alarms also have additional features such as fall detection, a panic button and two-way communication to allow a lone worker to talk directly with the response team and provide details of their situation to aid in the decision making process.

Depending on the industry and type of work, there are different types of lone worker alarms available to suit the needs of the individual worker. A popular choice is the lone worker alarm with a panic button that can be used to quickly call for assistance and can also be pressed silently to indicate a threat without raising suspicion or escalating the situation. Some lone worker alarms can also be set to automatically raise a red alert or man down alarm if they sense a change in circumstances that could be a potential risk such as tilt, non-movement or acceleration.

Other features that are useful for lone workers include the ability to 'check-in' so that a lone worker can leave a voice note detailing their current location and situation. This feature is particularly helpful for those who have a more volatile job and can be a lifesaver in the event of an attack. Many lone worker alarms can also be programmed to send a 'Duress Alarm' to the ARC when it is activated which is useful if a lone worker is confronted by a threatening person or has a medical condition such as a heart attack that could cause them to become incapacitated.

If an alarm is triggered, the device will immediately notify the ARC who will follow the lone worker's agreed escalation procedures. In the case of a man down alarm or duress alert, the device will also be able to automatically send the user's exact GPS coordinates to the responders. This can be very helpful for lone workers in remote locations where it might take time for someone to find them.

A lone worker alarm should be able to integrate with other systems such as the business security system to enable a unified response network. Look for a solution that has this integration as well as a user-friendly interface, training and support to make it simple for employees to use. lone worker devices
