How SoloProtect Lone Worker Devices Protect Laboratory Staff in Real-Time
“As an Administrator, it gives me access to generate automated reports to monitor usage. Managers have recently been given their own access to the portal so will be reviewing their own team reports going forward.”

"The ID device is easy to wear, simple to use, and looks like something that an engineer might be wearing anyway, meaning clients are unlikely to question its purpose."
Read the studyHow can SoloProtect devices enhance the safety of laboratory employees working alone?
SoloProtect devices offer a suite of safety features designed to protect laboratory technicians, scientists and biochemists who work alone. These include a Red Alert, which allows them to discreetly signal for help in case of an emergency, and Check-In, which enables them to leave detailed messages about their location and potential risks. These features ensure that people working in laboratories can quickly and easily access assistance when needed, providing peace of mind and enhancing overall safety.
How can the SoloProtect Monitoring Centre assist people working in laboratories during an emergency?
The SoloProtect Alarm Receiving Centre is staffed 24/7, 365 days a year, by highly trained operators who can quickly assess and respond to emergencies. When a laboratory worker activates a Red Alert, the Alarm Receiving Centre quickly receives the alert and begins the verification process. The operators can then coordinate with local emergency services, providing the technician with the necessary support and assistance to handle the situation effectively.
How do SoloProtect devices help in managing health and safety compliance in laboratories?
SoloProtect devices support health and safety compliance by providing real-time reporting on the status, and safety of those working in the laboratory. The SoloProtect Insights platform allows managers to monitor these parameters remotely, ensuring that workers are adhering to safety protocols and that any potential risks are promptly addressed. This proactive approach to safety management helps in maintaining a safe working environment and meeting regulatory compliance requirements.
Who needs a personal safety device in a laboratory?
Anyone working alone or in potentially hazardous environments within a laboratory should consider using a personal safety device. This includes lab technicians, researchers, biochemists, and biomedical scientists who handle chemicals, sharp instruments, or operate complex machinery. A lone worker device offers immediate access to emergency support—such as panic alarms, man down detection, and 24/7 monitoring—ensuring rapid response in the event of slips, trips, exposure to dangerous substances, or aggressive incidents. Personal safety devices are a vital layer of protection in laboratories where risks are high and supervision may be limited.
