Man down alarms Lone Worker Devices Are Designed to Protect Employees in Remote Locations and High-Risk Environments

Many lone workers are required to travel often and for long periods of time, particularly in high-risk areas and industries. These employees are more vulnerable to a number of hazards including slips, trips and falls, overexertion, fatigue and isolation.

They may also be exposed to environmental hazards and dangerous machinery that can cause injury if they are not adequately protected. This is especially true when they are not equipped with protective equipment such as hardhats and earmuffs.

These risks can be difficult to mitigate and even impossible to predict, so it’s important that employers take a proactive approach to protecting their lone workers. This involves assessing the lone worker’s workplace, identifying any safety risks and creating a plan to keep them safe.

Employers can do this by performing hazard assessments to identify the potential dangers and using preventative measures such as safety plans and lone worker alert systems. Keeping these systems and procedures up to date will ensure that lone workers are aware of potential safety hazards, able to report them and receive help in the event of an emergency.

A good way to determine whether or not your organisation needs a lone worker alarm is to schedule a demo for a personal walkthrough of the available options and how they would fit in with the overall safety strategy for your business.
