Lone Worker Systems

Lone worker systems are a combination of software and hardware solutions designed to allow a supervisor or designated "buddy" to remotely check on an employee from anywhere, be it their smartphone with a dedicated lone worker app or standalone devices linked to cloud-based management dashboards. Some solutions also feature discreet panic buttons or GPS location capabilities so responders are alerted in case something arises that requires medical assistance.

No matter whether it is an app, standalone device, or combination of both used for lone worker monitoring, its use should be easy and can be operated even under extreme stress. An ideal lone worker solution should provide an intuitive user interface and leverage existing GPS technology on employees' mobile phones to reduce cost by not needing separate lone worker devices for each staff member.

Organizations often implement specific escalation procedures for their lone workers to follow in an emergency, which typically stem from safety policies and government regulations. Lone worker systems can aid these procedures by notifying employers when duress events have been triggered and who to reach out to verify and respond according to established procedures.

SHEQSY's Lone Worker Monitoring System leverages smartphone location technology to monitor the whereabouts and status of every employee in an easy, secure dashboard environment. A Lone Worker Safety App is installed on each employee phone and used for tracking; when needed it automatically checks in with supervisors or assigned "buddies" at predetermined intervals via countdown timer reminder. When employees do need to check-in they simply press a discreet panic button for quick resolution.





As part of each check-in, lone worker apps provide a graphic representation of where workers are currently located on a map and instantly share that data with their supervisor or designated buddy - much safer than manual whiteboard check-in/check-out processes or asking employees to call back periodically to update everyone that they are safe.

The Lone Worker App can also be set to operate in background mode, enabling employees to use their smartphones without being constantly exposed to its presence during their shift. A man-down detection feature also makes available, sending alarm signals if a worker remains stationary for any period of time.
