Lone worker safety and protection
Protect your most valuable asset - your employees.
Whilst tracking has traditionally been about the tracking of vehicles, primarily as the first tracking units were fixed in-vehicle, with the advent of GPS enabled SmartPhones the benefits of tracking extend much, much further.
Many companies who would have little or no use for vehicle tracking find that mobile phone tracking can help them look after their employees and improve their customer service at the same time. This is particularly so for businesses with lone workers.
Lone worker safety is very much an obligation for businesses and there are tough penalties for breaches, particularly if anything goes wrong. Large fines and even criminal prosecutions could be in order.
If you have workers out and about on their own you need a lone worker policy and a means of them raising an alarm if they should get into trouble. Our lone worker safety system offers this but also has a number of other benefits.

How does it work?
Software is downloaded onto compatible mobile phones. These allow the phones to be tracked in real-time via an online web interface. The phone software has a number of built in features for the end user including a panic button for raising the alarm. This alerts an alarm response centre and sends GPS co-ordinates so that help can quickly be sent.
Additionaly the monitoring centre are able to remotely LISTEN in to the employee's handset thus determining a course of action to follow. This technology means a lone worker if in a hostile, dangerous or threatening situation can discreetly send an alarm with the knowledge that a trained operative is listening to the situation they are in. The Call centre will keep the call open and record the alarm and notify the relevant emergency services if necessary.
Other benefits of a lone worker safety system
