Man Down Alarms

Timely assistance could make all the difference for a person if they fall, become unconscious, become trapped and are unable to call for help themselves. how does fall detection work What is the best lone worker alarm? With this in mind, all lone worker devices should include a Man Down alarm; once inactive for an extended period (typically three minutes but configurable to any length between one and one hour), its emergency mode will activate, sending an SMS notification directly to any of their nominated contacts as well as calling them live via speaker and microphone, showing their GPS location via inbuilt speakers/microphone.

This feature is especially valuable to any single worker working alone in hazardous environments like construction sites and warehouses, or workers at height (e.g. window cleaners or roofers), public-facing roles like customer service or security, community roles such as social work and care or mobile workers such as delivery drivers or couriers. Even with proper health and safety policies in place and employees trained on hazards they face, accidents, illnesses or attacks still happen; which makes Man Down alarms an invaluable tool.

Once activated, our Man Down alarm sends an instantaneous notification of its activation to both user-indicated contacts or our partner Safepoint's purpose-built alarm receiving system. They can then respond immediately by dispatching rescue teams or activating wireless pagers with pre-programmed messages to play automatically; two-way communications; or corridor dome lights as needed.

Mercari Technologies' lone worker alarms also feature automatic fall detection sensors to detect sudden altitude changes and an impact, alerting wearers via voice prompt and telling them how to disable auto alerts for false alarms. If users fail to cancel Man Down alert within 10 seconds, then their device will raise an immediate panic alarm and start calling emergency contacts immediately.
SOS Alarms

Personal alarms with SOS functions provide essential protection to lone workers across various industries who depend on being able to call for help in case of accidents or assault. From integrated panic buttons in wearable fobs to emergency SOS alarms on smartphones, these devices enable employees to continue doing their job safely.

When disaster strikes, lone worker devices automatically send an SOS alert to pre-configured emergency contacts or monitoring centers, who then initiate two-way communication with them and dispatch assistance directly. Some personal alarms even include GPS tracking to allow response teams to get quickly to them so that medical or security assistance may be provided as required.

SOS alarm function can be an invaluable aid to older individuals who are vulnerable to falling or being mistreated by customers, or for lone workers at risk from attack on the street or public places. Pressing SOS button activates loud siren and sends users' GPS coordinates directly to emergency contacts/monitoring centres allowing for fast and effective responses in emergencies.

These lone worker devices can also be programmed to notify up to 10 nominated emergency contacts by SMS when the SOS button is triggered, enabling rapid response to accidents or other incidents as friends and family can instantly assess if an escalated alert needs to go out to ambulance services.

Mercari Technologies' SOS alarm is an essential feature of their lone worker safety solutions and works seamlessly with our award-winning VigieApp alarm management platform, giving supervisors full visibility of employee safety from one central place. If an alarm goes off unexpectedly, audio recording can be reviewed by supervisors in real-time to validate its validity and respond immediately - helping lone workers quickly while decreasing any potential business losses.
GPS Tracking

Lone workers face greater risks in terms of workplace accidents and incidents when operating alone, so being able to quickly locate them and send medical assistance could make a critical difference when an incident or emergency arises. GPS tracking provides an invaluable solution, equipping lone workers with GPS-enabled devices so that supervisors can monitor them in real time; enabling supervisors to quickly pinpoint lone worker locations should any emergency arise, thus improving response times while increasing employee compliance within designated work zones.

lone working tracker Mercari Technologies lone worker alarms feature GPS technology which allows them to track an employee at any given moment, giving peace of mind and providing extra security. The device is small, lightweight and can be worn with various methods including lanyard or belt clip. Furthermore, its waterproof exterior makes it suitable for use anywhere from construction sites to shopping malls; additionally it includes Man Down Detection and Check in features which notify predetermined contacts in an emergency or inactivity scenario.

Should the device be activated by either pressing the panic button manually or through man down fall detection, an SMS/Text alert will be sent via the user's nominated emergency contacts mobile phones with an alert location link on Google Maps. In addition, an alarm will begin calling each contact one by one to enable voice-to-voice communications with them for the user.

Users in Canada and the US can connect directly with 911 via the alarm, bypassing traditional business phone systems to instantly reach emergency services and increase worker confidence and morale while helping companies meet compliance standards that require constant contact between lone workers and emergency services. It may also reduce liability by showing that companies care about worker safety.
Geo Fencing

Mercari Technologies' Lone Worker Alarms feature geofencing technology, which automatically contacts users who fall within its boundaries if duress arises. Furthermore, Man Down fall detection enables supervisors to monitor an individual's absence from work for minutes to hours at a time.

Geofencing technology works by creating virtual boundaries around certain areas and then setting off events or notifications when devices enter or leave that area. The technology can be applied across many industries including fleet management, home automation and telematics; particularly fleet management when used to ensure vehicles stay within designated zones thereby improving fuel efficiency while also preventing unauthorised usage - an invaluable asset management tool for organizations managing large numbers of assets and vehicles.

Home automation uses geofencing to optimize the performance of smart devices like security systems and thermostats, such as automatic temperature adjustments in response to when residents arrive home; geofencing also serves as parental controls and other security features, alerting families when their children cross geographical limits set for them by families or security companies.

Businesses can utilize geofences to promote products or services. For example, department stores might send an app notification when someone crosses into their geofence to advertise an offer or sale. Retailers can also utilize geofences to monitor how effectively their marketing campaigns are performing.

Geofences can be used to set virtual boundaries around specific events, like concerts and festivals, and track people's movement and behavior, providing audience analytics such as demographics and traffic flows.

Geofencing offers mobile devices a level of customizability they may otherwise lack, enabling them to respond automatically when specific locations or conditions occur. For instance, smart fridges can be set to add milk purchases automatically when their owner approaches nearby grocery stores. At any time when in range of 4G cell coverage, lone worker devices can be configured to notify emergency contacts via press-button notifications when within their 4G cellular coverage area.
