How can SoloProtect devices enhance lone worker safety for local government employees?
SoloProtect devices offer a range of features designed to enhance the safety of local government workers. These devices provide discreet and immediate access to emergency support through the Red Alert panic button, which connects workers to the Monitoring Centre. The devices also include Man Down alarms to detect falls and Check-In capabilities to keep track of workers in isolated or rural areas. By documenting incidents of abuse or assaults and offering dashboard reporting, SoloProtect ensures that local government employers can effectively monitor and respond to safety concerns, thereby improving occupational safety and wellbeing for their workforce.
What are the benefits of using the ID Touch device for local government employees?
The ID Touch device is particularly popular among local government employees due to its combination of personal safety features and convenience. As a discreet personal safety device that doubles as an ID badge, it allows workers to carry essential safety tools without drawing attention. The ID Touch offers Red Alert for emergency situations and Man Down alarms to detect falls. The SoloProtect devices protect employees from risks like harassment, abuse, physical assaults, and accidents, ensuring they have immediate access to help when needed.
Are SoloProtect devices suitable for council enforcement or housing officers?
SoloProtect's discreet safety devices are ideal for roles such as enforcement officers, housing officers, and inspectors who may face verbal abuse, aggression, or physical threats while working alone. These roles can involve face-to-face interactions where there's a heightened risk of verbal abuse, aggressive behaviour, or physical threats.
In addition to emergency panic alerts (Red Alert) and man-down detection, our devices include Ready2Talk®, a proactive chaperone feature that connects the worker to a trained operator during potentially volatile situations — such as serving notices or inspecting properties. This real-time support provides extra reassurance, de-escalation capability, and immediate response if the situation escalates.
Whether dealing with sensitive tenant issues or conducting enforcement visits, SoloProtect helps ensure lone worker safety in local government through 24/7 monitoring, location tracking, and rapid emergency response.
