Frequently Asked Questions About the Red Alert Safety Feature
What is a Red Alert panic button for lone workers?
A Red Alert is a discreet lone worker panic button or duress alarm feature built into SoloProtect personal safety devices and apps. It triggers a one-way call to our 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre for rapid emergency response.
When should I use a lone worker personal safety device?
Use a lone worker personal safety device whenever you work alone, in remote locations, or in situations where there is a risk of aggression, injury, or illness. Press the panic button immediately if you feel threatened or unsafe.
Why is using a panic button quicker than dialling 999?
SoloProtect operates under NPCC guidelines, giving our Alarm Receiving Centre direct priority contact with local emergency services. This allows for a priority-level response, saving crucial time compared to a 999 call.

What happens after I activate the Red Alert panic button?
Our Alarm Receiving Centre discreetly listens in through the one-way call, pinpoints your location, and initiates the escalation procedure to contact emergency services or your manager, based on the severity of the incident.
How is a man-down alarm different from a Red Alert?
A man-down alarm automatically detects if a worker has fallen or become unresponsive, while a Red Alert requires the user to actively press the panic button. Both features are available across SoloProtect’s lone worker safety devices.
