Best Practices for Using Lone Worker Panic Buttons
The most effective way to make a lone worker panic button part of an employee’s routine is to train them on how to use it in their everyday workflow. However, if you are implementing a new safety solution, you must also develop and implement a detailed plan to ensure that your employees follow the necessary protocol in an emergency.

Whether it’s an accidental fall or a workplace assault, the speed at which a staff member receives assistance could mean the difference between life and death. In situations like these, a lone worker device with a man down/fall detection feature can help ensure that an employee’s emergency is immediately attended to.

Many lone worker devices also have features that can be used to discreetly alert security or colleagues of an emergency situation without causing the person to be seen as a potential threat, which is especially helpful in volatile or dangerous environments. For man down devices , some lone worker apps include a check in functionality that allows the person to leave a voice note about their location and current situation. This provides contextual information to our ARC, helping to speed up response times in the event of an alarm.


Another option is to choose a lone worker app that uses wireless technology or satellite devices for remote locations. These types of lone worker alarm systems can still work even when WIFI or cellular service is down, which can be very beneficial in isolated areas. For instance, the Ok Alone lone worker app has an in-app help alert that is activated by tapping a large red button with 'help' on it.
