Benefits of Using the Monitoring Timer
What Happens When the Lone Worker Monitoring Timer is Set?

Before entering a low-signal or high-risk area, the lone worker sets the timer on their personal safety device.
Stop
Once safely back in a good-signal area, the worker manually stops the timer.
Alert
If the timer expires, SoloProtect’s Alarm Receiving Centre is immediately notified.

Trained operators then follow a pre-agreed lone worker escalation plan to confirm the worker’s location and safety.

How does the Monitoring Timer improve remote worker safety?
The Monitoring Timer ensures remote or lone workers stay in contact, even when their phone cannot connect to a network. It activates a lone worker escalation plan if the worker fails to cancel the timer.
