Lone Worker Devices
Lone worker devices enable employees to seek assistance when necessary and to share vital information that enhances safety among colleagues and helps prevent accidents.

Before deploying lone worker monitoring technology, it's essential to consult your team in order to build trust and demonstrate that their safety is your top priority.
Modem Devices

Lone worker modem devices provide a reliable back up in case of broadband connection outages, providing secure communication to a control centre while still allowing data retrieval and server configuration from workers who may not be connected online.

Peoplesafe Safe Pro devices, specifically tailored for lone workers, are compact and discreet lone worker tools equipped with features like activity timers, fall detection technology, panic buttons, long battery life up to 5 days and get-started user guides and chargers. Their built-in GPS capabilities send users' live location directly to an Alarm Receiving Centre when an duress alert is raised - invaluable information that enables emergency services personnel to locate workers more efficiently by bypassing call centres thereby saving valuable time when responding.

These devices may be installed in trucks and service vehicles as part of a fleet tracking solution, or placed throughout physical plants to increase connectivity for workers. They also work well when linked with app-linked solutions that transform an employee's smartphone into an emergency reporting device and connect directly with a control centre if there's any kind of incident; making them ideal for hospitality and healthcare workers who may face threats or aggression from guests, patients, clients or customers.
Satellite Devices


Many lone workers operate in remote areas with limited or no cellular network coverage, necessitating them having a reliable way of calling for help in an emergency - this could include something as simple as a panic button, safety app, or sending an automatic voice or text message every hour to their boss from this device.

At its core, emergency devices must ensure they can connect with people quickly in times of trouble, whether they are alone, in danger or having been attacked. Furthermore, they should feature self-healing networks and backup to avoid dead spots where no cell tower can be reached.

Employees can check in through a safety app, text or voice communication, set an activity timer, raise an SOS alarm and track their location via GPS. Some devices also notify an on-call security monitoring centre when an emergency situation arises ensuring their exact location can be known immediately.

Employers have a legal duty to keep employees safe. PPE and training programs play a large part in this effort; however, personal safety devices provide lone workers with a quick way to quickly request assistance when alone. They're discreet enough for hotel and hospital staff who may face aggressive or inappropriate behaviour from guests or patients - making SHEQSY satellite devices ideal companions in managing and tracking lone worker workforces from one dashboard.
Panic Button Devices

The best lone worker devices provide multiple safety features to safeguard workplace risks. These features may include unobtrusive wearable buttons that discreetly send duress alerts and enable real-time tracking, emergency notifications to law enforcement/security agents via radio/phone/email/computer pop-up notification systems and emergency notifications that reach out directly.

Retail employees wearing GPS buttons can instantly communicate their location to a monitoring center when activated, where highly-trained operators listen and verify incidents before sending emergency services or management to their exact locations. This functionality is available across different lone worker device types - even pendant designs.

Grace Industries Lone worker devices offer many other beneficial safety features, including fall detection and no-motion alarms, which alert supervisors that someone isn't moving - often unconscious or injured workers - alerting supervisors. An audible alarm could potentially scare away an attacker and save a life; but employees need to understand that its noise does not increase risk.

As is true for all lone worker devices, panic buttons and other safety tools depend on employee participation in adopting them into their work lives. To achieve this goal, a plan that includes regular training sessions, comfortable devices, and automated check-in systems to ensure accountability and ensure consistent use is necessary for success.
Mobile Devices

Employers looking for an easy and cost-effective lone worker safety solution, apps using cellular technology may be one of the easiest ways to deploy one. These devices often offer customization and flexibility as well as familiar user experiences that reduce training requirements and costs.

Lione worker apps can also be combined with Bluetooth or satellite devices for an all-encompassing safety solution, making them particularly helpful for security guards who may find themselves facing potential aggressors and need something quickly or discreetly to call for help, retail workers, contractors or others who regularly work alone and need regular check-ins.

Dedicated lone worker devices provide an effective solution for remote or rural locations where cell phone connectivity is limited, connecting directly to monitoring systems via either satellite or cellular technology and typically boasting battery lives that last several days on one charge. Their portability also makes them an easier way for workers who may feel uneasy downloading an app on their phone, or unfamiliar employees, to stay safe in unfamiliar situations. Examples of dedicated lone worker devices are Peoplesafe Lite device and SPOT Gen4/X devices.
