Mercari Technologies Lone Worker Devices
Lone workers require tools designed specifically to safeguard themselves, and these lone worker devices provide exactly that protection.

These easy and cost-effective lone worker alarms empower employees to quickly get help in emergencies while offering peace of mind when working alone. Equipped with SOS alarms, GPS tracking capabilities and two-way voice communication features for two-way voice communication purposes and SOS alarms; users can request assistance efficiently through voice calling.
Man Down Alarm

The Man Down alarm is often provided as an add-on feature to an all-in-one device and provides workers with a way to alert others and call for help in the event that they lose consciousness or fall down. Also referred to as a fall alarm system or movement sensor, these devices detect falls automatically and notify those in need for help.

Lone workers using Man Down alarms can either set the device to alert after inclination for a specified amount of time or manually trigger help calls using its dedicated button; either way, their GPS location will be reported along with an alert being issued from their alarm device.

Many organisations opt for setting an inclination limit of 30 degrees as this provides enough of a deviation from vertical to trigger emergency alerts while remaining easily resettable. The device will also trigger a "pre-alarm" for 10 seconds; if any workers manage to regain a vertical position or press their help call button within this period of time this alert can be cancelled out.

Man down technology can make life much simpler for lone workers who must perform risk analyses to identify any potential dangers and implement safety measures to minimise them. Man down technology makes raising an alarm faster in dangerous situations or environments much simpler for individuals working alone.
GPS Tracking or Locating

Lone workers in remote locations are at greater risk of serious accidents that leave them incapacitated and unable to seek assistance, including slips, trips and falls; machinery accidents; hazardous chemical exposures; epileptic seizures and heart attacks. Mercari Technologies' Lone Worker Device features an intelligent sensor which detects non-movement through its Man Down alarm and automatically contacts emergency contacts or 911 in order to send alerts for help if no movement has been detected within 15 minutes of detection of Man Down alarm activation.

GPS Tracking or Geotracking, employs Global Positioning System satellites to remotely track an object remotely. They do this by emitting radio waves that are received by satellites; then these determine longitude and latitude coordinates based on how quickly their reflection back to receiver.

GPS allows you to monitor if people are where they should be at all times and even set a virtual "geofence" around a worksite so you'll know if someone has left early or arrived late for their shift. GPS can also help track assets such as generators and trailers - data collected is fully encrypted and protected behind firewalls so there is no unauthorized access. Also important: getting informed consent from employees before installing tracking devices into their equipment.
No-Motion Sensors

Lone worker devices often include motion sensors to alert emergency response teams if the user doesn't move for a set amount of time, making this feature especially helpful for workers at risk of falls or medical emergencies who require prompt assistance.

Some lone worker devices also feature automatic fall detection technology which is especially helpful for contractors and those working at heights. When activated by a fall, these devices alert emergency services immediately of an incident which may help minimize fatal outcomes from these incidents.

Many lone worker devices can be built into existing mobile devices like smartphones, tablets and laptops for seamless use and transport between work sites. Standalone lone worker devices may also be worn discreetly on lanyards or attached to keys for discreet alerts that won't disturb day-to-day routines.

Lone worker devices can be integrated with the SHEQSY Lone Worker Safety Management system to enable employees to check-in, submit hazard reports and more using their smartphone. Managers can monitor employee locations as well as real-time data in the dashboard of SHEQSY, providing real-time analysis that informs risk assessments and policies. SHEQSY can also support other personal safety devices including GPS tracking or locating devices and emergency SOS buttons allowing lone workers to operate safely regardless of environment they operate in.

personal safety devices for lone workers Emergency SOS Button

Mercari Technologies Ltd of New Zealand (Mercari Tech NZ) is an industry-leading emergency communications provider offering next generation personal safety alarm devices such as GPS tracking or locating, an Emergency SOS button and more - giving lone workers the power to seek help at any time in an emergency situation.

No-motion sensors on our solutions offer additional lone worker safety measures that could indicate accidents or medical emergencies requiring immediate help, while Geo Fencing notifications notify emergency contacts when an device enters or leaves a specific zone.

Auto fall detection is another essential feature for many lone workers, helping prevent serious injuries from unnoticed falls that might otherwise go undetected. This feature can especially come in handy for seniors who might trip and fall but cannot reach out and push the SOS button on their device to activate it quickly in an emergency situation.

To activate the Emergency SOS feature on your lone worker device, quickly press and hold both side power button and either volume button five times or more quickly to start the countdown to call emergency services and give you the chance to cancel before it ends if emergency services aren't needed. You can also schedule 5-30 minute reminders that will go off before shift starts or ends so as to remind you to check-in with monitoring system regularly.
