What is a Lone Worker Monitoring Device

A lone worker monitoring device is a GPS device that is designed to protect employees who are working alone or in remote locations. They typically include GPS tracking, panic buttons, periodic check-ins and two-way communication features.
Time based Check Ins and Alarms
A good lone worker monitoring device will prompt workers to check in at pre-determined times throughout their shift to verify their safety. The system will also send alerts to their supervisors if they fail to respond to these requests within the time frame.
