Expert advice to choose the right lone worker device and monitoring solution for your team
What is a lone worker?
A lone worker is someone who works by themselves without close or direct supervision. Lone working is not limited to people who are working alone in the workplace, but the definition also applies to anyone working in isolation from the rest of the workforce.
Why do you have to protect them?
As an employer you have a legal responsibility to ensure the health, safety and welfare of employees (according to the Health and Safety Act 1974). You must plan for the health and safety of employees through effective organisation, control, monitoring and review. Employers can face fines or prosecution if an employee is injured or attacked while working if reasonable safeguards were not in place. It is essential that lone workers are monitored and can raise an immediate alert when needed.
What is a lone worker device?
A lone worker device is usually worn or carried by your employee for the duration of their shift. The device will send automatic alerts or user-initiated alarms for a range of different scenarios.
Lone worker safety solutions combine this communication device with a tailored response. Alerts can be handled within your business, through our lone-worker platform, or by a certified and specialised remote monitoring centre that acts upon the different alerts received.
Which is the right lone worker safety solution for your employees?
Your solution must be practical, comfortable, discreet, and pertinent to your workers' daily activities. Lone worker devices are only effective if they are used!
Your Almas Security Consultant will work with you to assess the specific risks and activities of your lone workers to ensure you have the safest and most effective lone worker safety solution for your needs.
