Maintenance and Upkeep of Lone Worker Panic Buttons
Lone workers are at risk of becoming the victims of crime, assault and a range of medical emergencies when out on their own. As a result, they need to have a simple way to signal for help without having to unlock their phone, find the app and press it in high stress situations.

lone worker device Panic buttons provide a discreet means for lone workers to request immediate assistance and have their location reported to a monitoring centre – especially important in cases where alerting others openly may put them at greater risk. Discreet activation also prevents employees from escalating situations that are already stressful for them.


In the US, employers have a legal duty to protect their staff who work alone from harm and this includes having a reliable way for them to signal for help. While some businesses may have a company policy on employee safety and have a system for lone workers to check in, it’s often not enough. Having a panic button or lone worker device provides a much more effective and affordable solution.


In hotels, for example, it is the responsibility of hotel employers to equip any staff who clean, inventory or restock supplies in guest rooms with a work panic alarm or notification device. This must be provided at no cost to the employee, and they cannot be retaliated against for using it in an appropriate circumstance. SafetyLine’s lone worker device is easy to use and can be activated with one click, even in distracting or high-stress situations.
