Lone Workers & Lone Working
What is Lone Working?
Lone working is a term applied to any position or role where an employee is working by themselves, without direct contact with other employees or support staff. They may work in the field or at premesis which are otherwise unattended. Their work may also bring them in to contact with customers or members of the public, but they spend a large part, or majority of their time alone. This makes it much more important to stay in touch with your employees.
How do I monitor Lone Worker safety & protection?
PageOne offer a variety of tools to keep in touch with your staff, from SMS messaging and voice IVR platforms that enable staff to check in at regular intervals, to Location-Based services that can monitor staff location. PageOne’ slatest ‘Responder’ device also provides staff with a means to raise an instant alert should they require help.
How do Lone Worker alarms work & what are the benefits?
The ‘Responder’ devices provide a lone worker with an alarm function that when activated, triggers an audible and visible alert in the operations centre. The alarm can also forward the distress message to an individual, or a group of pre-selected land or mobile telephone number(s) in order to ensure that an alert is not missed.
Being GPS-enabled the ‘Responder’ also forwards location information with an alert message. Ovelaid graphically on a map, this information allows the individual receiving the alert to identify the identity and location of the worker requesting help and an appropriate response can be coordinated immediately.
Upon the activation of the lone worker alarm, a loud, audible alert can be sounded by the device. This can also be set to a delay, or kept silent.
Your employees can feel safe, assured with the knowledge that they have the tools to stay in touch or call for help when needed.
