"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."
"Since adopting a SoloProtect lone worker solution, we’ve been pleased with how easily the solution has been adopted by our workforce and the positive impact it’s had on our operations."
"The most important thing is that I found a partner rather than just a supplier for this type of equipment. I appreciate the availability of the team and especially the introduction of new products to stay compliant with changing regulations. The equipment provided is reliable. SoloProtect's services are efficient, and I appreciate the kindness of the team that helped me choose and set up the Shield devices.”
Why is lone worker security critical for utility workers?
Lone worker security is vital for utility workers because they often operate in remote and hazardous environments, handle technical tasks, and face unpredictable emergencies. By prioritising lone worker safety, it demonstrates not only a commitment to their wellbeing but also a crucial factor in guaranteeing the uninterrupted delivery of essential services. SoloProtect's solutions are designed with these unique challenges in mind, providing a reliable safety net for utility workers in the field.
What are the consequences of overlooking lone worker safety in the utilities industry?
Failing to prioritise lone worker safety in the utilities industry can have far-reaching and grave consequences. It increases the likelihood of accidents, injuries, and tragically, even fatalities among utility workers. Beyond the human toll, neglecting safety measures can also result in regulatory violations, tarnished organisational reputation, and significant legal liabilities, posing a substantial risk to the wellbeing of both workers and the organisation itself.
What is a "man down alarm," and how does it to protect utility workers?
A "man down alarm" is a critical safety feature integrated into SoloProtect's lone worker safety devices, designed specifically to enhance the protection of utility workers working at heights or in challenging environments.
This innovative technology will detect a slip, trip, or fall, and a man down alarm is triggered automatically. This alarm initiates a rapid response process, getting help to the worker as quickly as possible.
