Lone Worker Devices A Lifeline to HighRisk Environments

A Lone worker device can be a lifeline to keep people safe in high-risk environments, whether they work in remote locations without signal, meet with vulnerable individuals or work with dangerous machinery. Providing them with a panic button or personal safety alarm allows workers to summon help quickly should they feel threatened, witness an incident or are the victim of a medical emergency.
Lone workers operate in a wide range of roles, from security guards to healthcare professionals and even those who work from home or travel across different locations during the course of their day. As such, lone working devices must be adaptable and customizable to the varied requirements of employees. For example, an employee may need a fall detection feature whilst another will require the ability to trigger a geo-fence alert if they are at risk of leaving their assigned area of coverage.

However, the best way to find out what you need from a lone worker device is to speak to a specialist who can discuss your risks with you and explain which features will provide your team with the most peace of mind.
