Yellow Alert

Lone worker solutions such as SOS Fob provide a discreet personal device with multiple safety functions, including a manual emergency SOS latch. These features ensure that staff are never truly alone even in fast-paced and time limited working environments like shipyards, airports and logistics companies.

In the event of a high-risk code yellow scenario, a lone worker can activate the SOS button with a press. The system will then notify the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) via a pre-recorded audio message and GPS location data. The ARC will then dispatch the nearest available resource to respond.

Our Yellow Alert function also allows a lone worker to record detailed task or location specific details, giving the ARC context should they need to trigger a Red Alert. Additionally, our Safe Check feature runs seamlessly in the background enabling users to programme their intervals of a periodic welfare check and ensuring that they receive regular monitoring from a centralised team.

Integrated cellular connectivity means a lone worker can connect to a network in just seconds as soon as the device is switched on. This is particularly important for remote locations, or where mobile network coverage may be limited. It also removes the need for expensive intrinsically safe smartphones or apps, or additional infrastructure. Our cloud-connected lone worker monitors deliver full protection from all known and unknown hazards with no gaps in coverage.
Worker Down

Lone workers can find themselves in a Man Down danger if they’re not visible to other co-workers who could alert, help or prevent them from an accident. This happens a lot in workplaces where there aren’t a lot of people working close by.

With the right lone worker solutions, a worker can instantly signal an emergency via their device. When a worker activates this function, the device automatically contacts the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) through their iNet Now Live Monitoring service. They will then contact the worker to check if they’re alright and if they can’t reach them, follow your organisation’s escalation procedures and dispatch the appropriate services to their GPS location.

The best lone worker solutions include 24/7 monitoring. This means that your workers will always be protected as a trained ARC monitor is on hand to ensure they follow the correct steps of their bespoke escalation procedure.

This is a great way to increase the productivity of your lone worker solution and it means that your employees can work safer, knowing that there are always a team of specialists looking out for their safety. Many lone worker solutions also come with a variety of features such as "worker down" detection, keep alive check-in and SOS alerts. They can all be configured to align with your organisation’s specific lone worker protection needs and provide reassurance to your workforce that they are being protected.
