The Shield: A Rugged Lone Worker Device for Utility Field Workers
This device is small enough to not get in the way but rugged enough to withstand the work of an active role. Designed for field-based engineers and technicians, the Shield supports lone workers in electricity, gas, water, and telecom sectors with real-time alerts and emergency response.
Explore the safety features that utilities workers depend on — from fall detection and GPS tracking to 24/7 emergency support — to stay protected while working alone in the field.

How Lone Worker Safety Devices Support Utility and Energy Teams
"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."

"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.”
Read the studyWhy 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 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 an alarm is triggered automatically. This alarm initiates a rapid response process, getting help to the worker as quickly as possible.
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. Learn more about how our lone worker safety solutions support high-risk industries.
What type of lone worker device is best for utility engineers working in remote areas?
Utility engineers often need a device that's rugged, weather-resistant, and functional in areas with low signal. The SoloProtect Shield is ideal, offering features like GPS tracking, man down detection, and 24/7 connection to our Alarm Receiving Centre. It's designed specifically to protect workers in isolated, hazardous environments.
