Lone Worker Monitoring
Lone worker monitoring is an effective way for businesses to meet their duty of care obligations by protecting remote workers while they carry out potentially hazardous tasks in isolated locations. It combines advanced mobile apps and devices with an in-house monitoring system for maximum staff protection against physical, psychological, and cyber attacks.

LONE WORKER MAPPING
Lone workers, which refers to employees working alone without direct supervision, may be exposed to hazards in different environments and settings; employers should conduct a risk evaluation before sending these employees into the field. The best lone working monitoring systems combine proactive safety features with automatic alerts to detect incidents before they occur - MyLoneWorkers Welfare Check is one such proactive safety feature which allows managers to set customizable safety check intervals for employees before sending alerts if they do not comply within set times limits.

Another key feature of a great lone worker system is its ability to monitor employees, so managers can easily locate them if necessary. Furthermore, many apps will enable users to send distress signals which alert recipients that help is required quickly via GPS coordinates.

lone worker app In a life-threatening emergency, an effective lone worker monitoring solution must provide employees with the ability to immediately activate an alarm - even if their device is locked. A hands-free app that raises a distress signal in this way is especially valuable for employees at high-risk who might not have time or access to unlock their phone and seek assistance.

Advanced lone worker monitoring technologies typically connect to a 24/7 monitoring center known as an "Alarm Receiving Centre," or ARC in the UK and "Emergency Dispatch Center," EDC in the US. An ARC receives and handles distress calls while monitoring user locations via phone calls, text messages or online real-time maps in real time; when alerted of potential threats it follows pre-set procedures outlined in your Lone Worker Policy by notifying emergency services or escalation contacts on your behalf.


When selecting a lone worker monitoring provider, be sure they hold BS8484 accreditations for all aspects of their service, from apps and devices to the ARC. In addition, look for one offering 24/7 coverage as well as having been approved by leading security associations.

Finally, an ideal lone worker monitoring system must be easy and adaptable enough to be tailored to each business's safety requirements. SHEQSY's Lone Worker App enables businesses to tailor the way that they monitor teams using different alert triggers, periodic check-ins and duress alarms based on business needs - such as whether law enforcement should be called first. You can even program an escalation procedure according to individual business needs - whether this means law enforcement being alerted first or contacting an escalation contact beforehand based on who should respond first based on business requirements.
