Trouble does not go unnoticed
A missed check is an alarm in itself – the worker does not have to be able to call for help.
Protecting lone workers
Being alone on shift should not mean being alone in an emergency.
Someone working alone may not be able to call for help.
Night shifts, weekend duty, a single gatekeeper, a maintenance technician in the hall: in many roles someone spends hours alone on the premises.
If illness, an accident or an assault happens then, help does not depend on goodwill but on whether anyone notices at all. This is an employer’s duty of care, not only a security question.
Protecting lone workers
-
01
We map who is alone and when
Rosters and duty schedules show exactly which time slots are affected.
-
02
We introduce regular wellbeing checks
At agreed intervals the operator asks for a response – if it does not come, they verify immediately.
-
03
We provide a way to call for help
One button connects the worker to the control room, with audio and video.
-
04
We attach a response unit
If there is no answer, or the situation calls for it, a unit is dispatched to the site.

Frequently asked questions
01 Who counts as a lone worker?
Anyone who works alone for longer periods: a night maintenance technician, a gatekeeper, a machine operator, a warehouse worker or a colleague out in the field. Employer responsibility applies in all these cases.
02 How does the alert work?
The device can raise both a manual panic alert and an automatic one – no movement, or a fall. The alert reaches the control room, where it is verified immediately and acted on as agreed.
03 Is this not surveillance?
The purpose is not to watch the work, but to notice trouble. The system is deliberately set up so that location reporting is tied to an emergency – something to clarify with the staff when it is introduced.
