Lone Worker Pendant

Whether you have a lone worker out in the field or staff members visiting domestic residents at night, a mobile personal safety device can offer protection. They provide emergency alerts from a pendant or wristband to a 24/7 monitoring centre.

Features include 'Man down, impact and no movement' alarms and GPS tracking. They are easy to set up and use, using text commands on your phone.

Detection of Falling Objects

Many lone workers work in potentially dangerous environments like construction sites, client homes or travelling between locations. Having the ability to call for help in the event of a fall can save a life.

With a simple press of a button the lone worker device will send an emergency alert with their location as determined by satellite GPS technology to a predetermined list of carers. Your lone workers can choose to have the device immediately dial their first carer and then continue to call subsequent carers until help arrives.

The device also features a man down alarm. When a device is not moved or movement is detected for an extended period of time, the man down alarm will be launched automatically.

This is a particularly important feature for older workers who may experience a fall or loss of consciousness due to a decline in their strength and balance. This is one of the most common causes of lone worker deaths.

The iHelp device is also water proof, this is ideal for lone workers who may need to use it in the event of a flood or other unexpected weather conditions. Its check in and out system helps to improve lone worker safety by acting as a reminder for employees to check in with a manager or carer. This can be done via the mobile app or by directly calling into the device.

Two-Way Voice Communication

When a worker is alone at work, a single event can turn into a life-threatening situation. Having a device that alerts colleagues, security or emergency services can give staff peace of mind that someone will always be there to help.

lone worker safety devices Many alarm systems use two-way communication technology that directly connects the subscriber to a central station operator. This avoids problems that are caused when an alarm triggers but the call isn’t answered or there is a delay in the response time.

In addition, 2-way voice communication allows the subscriber to hear what is being said back to them, allowing them to respond immediately in an appropriate manner. This is important when an incident is a crime in progress, a person having a medical emergency or any other circumstance that requires immediate attention.

The G7 lone worker monitors offer an easy-to-use, lightweight alarm pendant that works on the 4G network to ensure your people stay connected to a safety monitoring centre at all times. They feature patented fall detection, man down, GPS tracking and SOS alarm capabilities as well as automated welfare checks, text messaging and push-talk. They are also fully integrated with the industry’s leading Central Station software to provide maximum protection for lone workers.

Panic Button

Panic buttons are a common occupational safety device used in a range of businesses and industries to request help in emergencies. They go by many names, such as duress alarms, emergency signals, silent alarms, holdup alarms or personal alarms, but they serve the same purpose: to notify an offsite help source that help is needed. This could be a business manager, assigned employee or even local law enforcement and security services.

Lone worker pendants with panic buttons can be discreetly activated by pressing a button or shaking the mobile device to send an alert. This makes it easy for employees to signal for assistance without triggering an audible alarm that might agitate the situation further or make them a target of violence.

While an audible alarm is useful for requesting help, it’s also important to consider other options like text messaging or 2-way satellite messaging when working beyond reliable cellular coverage. Using a Bluetooth lone worker panic button that connects to an app on a smartphone is another simple way for workers to quickly and discreetly ask for help.

A lone worker solution like SafetyLine offers more extensive and proactive monitoring than a panic button, with real-time employee monitoring, automated check-ins, GPS tracking and instant alerts. This ensures that your employees are always protected, no matter what type of work they’re doing or the environment in which they’re working.

GPS Positioning

If a worker feels at risk or needs help they can select the SOS alert option on their device (Osmile ED1000) and this will initiate a two-way call to ARC staff who operate 24/7/365, guaranteeing a response within seconds. ARC will check with the worker’s lone working colleague or emergency services to see if they can assist, and follow their escalation procedure if required.

GPS positioning services are used by lone worker pendants to pinpoint the location of the wearer, helping emergency responders find them quickly in an incident. These devices can also use a Geo Fence function to track movement and set an invisible boundary around the wearer, triggering an alarm when they leave it. Some lone worker pendants also have man down, no motion and fall detection functions that alert emergency services or up to 10 pre-programmed contacts.

Unlike standalone lone worker alarms, which can be cumbersome and expensive to use, a lone worker app is quick to setup, easy to learn and provides complete flexibility. SHEQSY provides a range of lone worker apps that can be tailored to meet the unique requirements of your organisation’s employees, whether they are healthcare workers completing home visits, utility workers in remote locations or surveyors at customer sites. We work alongside professional monitoring partners to provide a comprehensive lone worker safety solution that is available 24/7.
