Protect lone workers with an easy-to-use, mobile personal alarm that offers both preventative and reactive safety options. Including a fall detection feature and 24/7 alarm monitoring.
Isolated employees face a range of threats such as workplace accidents, criminal activity and unattended medical emergencies. Personal safety alarms help to address these risks and satisfy health & safety regulations.
Location Tracking
Lone workers are often working in remote areas or dangerous environments and may be at greater risk of harm than those who work with colleagues. A lone worker alarm can help to mitigate these risks and ensure that employees are always connected to a response team in the event of an incident.
Many lone worker devices have built-in GPS technology to track the location of a device user in real time. This is usually displayed on a dedicated app or through the use of a small, portable piece of hardware that is worn around the wrist or neck (often called a pendant). This allows an employer to quickly locate a worker should they require assistance.
Some lone worker personal alarms also include the ability to set up an invisible “Geo Fence” around a specific location. When the device wearer goes outside of the Geo Fence, pre-programmed contacts will receive a notification. Lone Worker Alarms with a falls detection sensor can also send a fall alert to all programmed contacts when the device detects that the wearer has fallen.
Other lone worker apps simply add to an existing smartphone or tablet app and enable users to complete regular check-ins in a simple, easy-to-use way. These are typically easier to use and more cost effective than standalone lone worker devices, as they can be used on the device that a user already owns.
Panic Button
In many industries, workers face a variety of safety risks while on the job. For example, hotel housekeepers are at a high risk of assault and harassment from guests, while social workers may work with unknown clients in unsafe neighborhoods or enter dangerous environments.
fall detection sensor Lone worker personal alarms offer a convenient and discreet way for field employees to signal for help in these situations. man down device They can activate an alert that instantly connects through the device’s GPS to a call center. This alert notifies the dispatcher and provides a live two-way audio communication. It also sends an emergency text message with their location to anyone designated by the employee.
Many businesses and organizations have unique safety legislation that requires them to provide a panic button for their staff. Whether or not these devices are required by law, they are an effective tool for keeping employees safe.
An audible panic button could frighten a potential attacker and prevent them from assaulting an employee or client. However, it could also agitate the person and make them more likely to attack. A mobile panic button, on the other hand, allows an employee to signal for help without arousing the attacker. In addition, the device offers a text message to the user’s assigned contacts, as well as an LED sign that broadcasts the location of the worker.
GPS Tracking
Lone worker alarm devices that include GPS technology help management see the location of employees during work hours. This helps managers quickly identify an issue that may threaten employee safety and dispatch emergency assistance as needed. These lone worker safety devices come in several forms, such as Bluetooth and handheld satellite devices. The right lone worker device depends on an individual’s specific needs and the type of work they do. For example, a healthcare professional that works alone in patients’ homes needs a discreet device they can use to call for help without their patient’s knowledge. These devices typically have motion detection and duress alarm capabilities in addition to a panic button and GPS tracking.
Many lone worker protection apps allow workers to record salient information in the event of an emergency using their mobile phone’s microphone. This can be useful for describing the location of a disabled car in a parking garage, or providing details about an apartment building to a social worker on their next home visit. This feature is commonly known as Yellow Alert and is an important part of the overall lone working safety package.
Ideally, a lone worker device will have the ability to turn on and off its location monitoring at the start of each day. This is in-line with a company’s lone worker procedure that clearly defines when the safety solution should be enabled. There are also certain situations where a lone worker device would not be able to utilize its GPS tracking capability, such as an underground work environment or very remote areas that lack a line of sight between a GPS satellite and the device.
Monitoring
Lone worker alarm devices allow employees to call for help at the touch of a button. They also track their location via GPS in case they become stuck or incapacitated, and can detect falls should an accident occur. They can be used by a wide range of people from those that work alone in offices to those with medical conditions such as epilepsy who may be at risk of seizures whilst at work.
When the device is activated it will send an alert to a designated monitor such as a manager, a group of managers, or an Alarm Receiving Centre depending on your response path. The device can also be configured to automatically send a ‘Yellow Alert’ when the user hasn’t moved for a specified period of time (as per your risk assessment).
Some devices, like the Blackline Safety G7, are able to communicate directly with the ARC over 4G cellular networks – meaning no mobile signal is required! This is especially useful in remote locations or environments where there may be no coverage such as on construction sites, parks and public spaces. The device also features a ‘check-in’ feature which allows the user to leave a voice message of up to 10 emergency contacts with GPS location data so that they can be fully prepared for an incident.
