Lone Worker Pendant
A lone worker pendant is an invaluable asset to any company with employees working alone in potentially hazardous environments, or who work remotely. These devices, often worn as lanyards or wrist watches, offer discreet yet swift ways to signal for help during duress alerts or track employee locations using GPS technology.
Pendant alarms are commonly utilized by lone workers at risk of physical harm or assault, such as utility technicians in communities or property inspectors visiting residential properties and businesses. Since these employees must travel alone for long distances while leaving their vehicle potentially hazardous situations, a device equipped with fall detection sensor can reduce fatal accidents by sending an "fall alert" notification when sensing a fall.
Whenever a lone worker cannot make contact, their SOS pendant automatically sends out an SMS with their location via GPS technology to emergency services, giving them immediate and up-to-date details of where the worker is at any given moment. lone worker devices Additionally, this function can be programmed to automatically dial their first carer upon activation or manually activated via mobile APP by the user themselves.
The mobile APP also enables instantaneous Geo Fence creation for enhanced monitoring and protection, so if a worker breaches this invisible boundary (either accidentally or by pressing SOS button), all carers are immediately alerted via SMS message and their location sent directly to Google maps.
There are various lone worker safety devices on the market, from stand-alone pendants to mobile apps that integrate with existing phone systems and allow workers to use features of their phone while remaining protected by personal data plans. Some solutions also feature helpful additional features for lone workers such as audible alarms and panic buttons.
Other systems, such as those integrated into vehicle communication systems, may be more costly and limited in functionality; or require that devices within range be in use with them. Furthermore, it may be hard to implement these systems outside the vehicle itself and lack the ability to raise a duress alert or provide detailed emergency information.
Your business's ideal lone worker device depends on several factors, including risk profiling your team members, environment type they work in and budget. A specialist can discuss your requirements with you and recommend solutions tailored specifically to meeting them while meeting company financial goals.
