How the Ready2Talk Safety Feature Works

When a lone worker identifies a clear safety risk, but an emergency alarm is not yet required, they can activate a Ready2Talk call on their personal safety device or app. This connects them to a trained operator who will stay on the line, providing a proactive lone worker reassurance service. If the situation worsens, the operator can instantly escalate to a Red Alert and activate the lone worker escalation process.

With Ready2Talk, you're never truly alone.
