Lone worker devices are essential pieces of equipment to protect employees who work alone. While PPE and training programs can help, devices such as these could mean the difference between life and death in emergency situations.

G7 goes beyond traditional methods by integrating lone worker monitoring and world-class gas detection in one device to streamline equipment and operations. See how it works here:
Features

Lone worker devices combine many of the features commonly found in two-way radios into an easy-to-use, integrated device that can be worn around a worker's waist or on their lanyard for use by remote workers. By eliminating dedicated two-way radios and saving companies thousands over its lifespan, these lone worker devices provide increased communication capabilities that save companies thousands.

As soon as a lone worker device is activated, its GPS technology instantly shares their location with ARC operators. This provides invaluable assistance if an SOS alarm is raised as a 999 call handler will know who it belongs to as well as any vital medical or other data that might help keep them safe during an emergency.

Lone worker devices can send alerts when it's time for their shift start/end/or emergency to start/end; audio messages from workers may even be included so the ARC operator can listen in on them and keep them safe.

Lone worker devices can be configured with automatic failover connectivity via either cellular or satellite technology, making them perfect for remote areas with little mobile phone service, as it enables your lone workers to stay connected and raise an alarm even without mobile connectivity.

Safety Check In/Out

Lone worker safety alarms provide essential features such as discreet panic buttons in emergencies and regular check-in intervals to help prevent work-related fatalities. Furthermore, these devices send alerts through GPS monitoring to a central control center or emergency contacts for instantaneous response. Furthermore, two-way communication between workers and support teams allows situation assessments and guidance services.

Many lone worker devices are small, unobtrusive and designed for maximum employee comfort. Their discreet designs encourage regular usage - increasing effectiveness while improving workplace safety. Many lightweight designs allow employees to wear as necklaces or clip-ons easily on clothing.

Some lone worker systems use dedicated devices, while others utilize smartphones or existing hardware. Open solution providers tend to be device agnostic and work closely with your operation to determine how best to integrate all existing devices into the lone worker system. Worker Safety Devices While these solutions may be faster and simpler to implement than closed provider solutions, they don't always offer as much customization or personalization options.

To select the ideal lone worker equipment for your team, it's essential that a thorough risk evaluation be completed on both their work environment and tasks. Consider all potential hazards, risks involved and how well each member communicates both internally and with central teams.
Fall Detection

Lone worker safety devices must provide various methods for employees to manually or automatically activate alerts based on their needs and the nature of their work. These could include alert buttons, GPS technology and mobile apps which alert managers or emergency services via a central management platform.

Falls from height and other accidents such as slips and trips are the most frequently occurring workplace injuries in the UK. With immediate assistance, however, workers can often recover quickly from such incidents.

Fall detection features in lone worker devices can significantly help to decrease accidents among lone workers. When users fall, alarms will automatically go to Peoplesafe's 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre where our experts will determine whether medical assistance is required and dispatch appropriate responses accordingly.

Bodytrak, for instance, offers an audio alert system that notifies staff when they're at risk or require assistance. Wearable devices using GPS and phone signal track location data to share it with managers and emergency services quickly so they can intervene faster. Furthermore, Bodytrak works in areas with poor connectivity - making it suitable for remote working as it uses existing mobile phones with no costly new hardware required for implementation.
No-Motion Alert

Lone workers face many risks on the job, from health concerns and accidents to security threats. By adding a lone worker device to your safety setup, you can provide your employees with an easy way to seek assistance during an emergency situation. These devices often include SOS alerts, automatic check-ins, and fall detection - making them a must for any workplace safety plan.

Lone worker devices come in all forms - from physical devices and apps on phones and wearable tech to dedicated physical and wearable tech solutions. Physical lone worker devices may include panic buttons or GPS trackers for continuous monitoring and instantaneous contact with emergency contacts; dedicated lone worker devices may be combined with other security systems for an integrated approach to workplace safety.

App-linked lone worker devices are discreet and phone-free ways for workers to alert emergency contacts if needed, offering an effective alternative to phone notifications. You can set an alert manually or automatically using time or motion sensors; and can even come equipped with additional features like automatic check-ins, fall detection, GPS tracking and automatic check-ins which allow workers to share their real time location with emergency contacts or supervisors.

Peoplesafe's X device uses satellite technology to raise an alarm. This is ideal for remote areas without access to mobile networks, where lone worker alarms may not be possible.
