Frequently asked questions

How can manufacturing companies keep lone workers safe?

Manufacturing companies can enhance the safety of lone workers by equipping them with lone worker safety devices. These devices serve as personal safety alarms, allowing workers to quickly raise an alert in emergencies. When an alert is triggered, it connects to our Monitoring Centre where operators can assess the situation and dispatch the appropriate response, such as calling the police, an ambulance, or notifying a manager, colleague, or security team. These devices may also provide GPS tracking to locate workers rapidly during incidents.
