Personal Safety Solutions

Personal safety solutions offer a wide range of options to help users feel safe on the go. From discreet devices that blend in with the wearer’s clothing to state-of-the-art emergency response apps.

Lone-working employees often work in remote locations without phone coverage. Handheld satellite devices allow them to activate alarms and share their location with colleagues.

GPS Trackers

Personal GPS trackers are an excellent safety solution for people who travel, explore, or work alone. These devices allow families or friends to track a person’s location through a website or app, giving them peace of mind and ensuring they’re not missing anyone in the event that something goes wrong. Some GPS safety devices have additional features like a SOS button that allows the user to send an emergency alert with their exact location to designated contacts or the authorities.

Some GPS trackers have driver fatigue monitoring functions that analyze steering behavior and other driving metrics to detect signs of drowsiness. These features encourage drivers to take rest breaks and reduce accident rates caused by drowsiness. Many GPS devices also feature seat belt detection mechanisms that warn passengers or drivers of impending unbuckling, reducing the risk of severe injuries in the case of an accident.

In addition to real-time tracking, some GPS safety devices have geo-fencing capabilities that enable users to create virtual boundaries around specific locations. When a device enters or leaves the geo-fence, the owner receives an alert. This is a great way to monitor children or elderly family members and ensures that vehicles or other valuable assets remain within a safe area. Some GPS trackers also offer battery-saving modes that help minimize the frequency of charging, increasing their lifespan and helping keep them cost-effective.

GPS, a space-based radio-navigation system that relies on satellites to transmit navigation signals, can pinpoint your location worldwide in all weather conditions, 24 hours a day. GPS technology is a vital component of many different personal safety solutions.

The smallest GPS devices are small enough to fit in a pocket or on your wrist, and feature computer chips the size of a fingernail. They’re able to receive signals from satellites that broadcast information on your current position, velocity and time. The receiver compares the received times from multiple satellites to determine your precise location.

In addition to providing tracking capabilities, some GPS trackers are equipped with an SOS alarm that can be activated in threatening or dangerous situations. Activating this button instantly sends an alert to the device’s designated monitoring center or employer, providing them with your exact location.

GPS tracking devices are also often used in construction, mining and off-road trucking for locating equipment, measuring productivity and safety, as well as helping to reduce fuel use and emissions. Other industries that benefit from GPS include transportation, sales and services, the military, mobile communications and security.

Rape Whistles





A rape whistle is a small personal safety device that lets you make a loud, piercing noise to attract attention and potentially scare off an attacker. It can be used on the go and doesn’t require a lot of practice to use quickly. You can even place it on a keychain or under your shirt so you have easy access to it in a crisis situation.

Rape whistles can be a lifesaver for women who are in danger because they enrage the potential rapist and make him or her afraid of being caught by witnesses. This scare can distract the rapist enough to give you time to escape. It also draws the attention of nearby people who may call the police to come help you.

A good rape whistle should have an on/off button at the front and a siren that does not stop until you press the off button. It should also be large enough to prevent it from getting lost in a purse or backpack and can easily be blown with full lung power. You can also look for a rape whistle that is made of a hard material like titanium or aluminum that can withstand being hit or thrown around. Having one of these devices can give you peace of mind so you can enjoy your favorite activities without worrying about your personal safety.

Lone Worker Alarms

Lone worker alarms -whether standalone devices, phone accessories or custom apps – allow at-risk staff to request emergency assistance with the simple press of a button. This can be triggered manually by the employee, or automatically if the device detects a fall or lack of movement. Upon receiving an alert, the designated guardian – usually the person in charge of that department or a call centre handling lone working calls – will be notified and can track the GPS coordinates to orchestrate a response.

Some lone worker alarms also have alternative functions such as duress or man-down alarms which are triggered by pressing a more discreet panic button. These are often more useful for lone workers who may be at risk due to unexpected events such as a customer threatening them in a betting shop or a workplace incident.

The main benefit of smart lone worker devices is that the supervisor -usually in the form of a manager or senior member of staff – will also be able to see the location of their team. This is similar to a consumer app such as Life360, or Findo, which lets parents track their children's journey home from school. This can help to reduce safety risks and demonstrate an employer's duty of care. Other lone worker alert systems, such as Safepoint's GuardianPlus, offer 24/7 call monitoring by trained responders to take control of an alert and contact the emergency services if necessary.
