Protection for lone workers
If your employees need to work alone, visiting clients, empty offices, isolated locations or even at home, you have a responsibility for their health, safety and wellbeing. With our lone worker alarm devices, connected to our monitoring centre, their safety is increased should an incident require attention, as we are just a button-push away.
Identifying the risks
When considering the safety of your staff, you must think about the risks they may face while working; and also about the people they come into contact with, e.g. do they often face abuse or meet strangers? Is the environment they are in isolated, remote or somewhere they haven’t been before? Do they have medical conditions that increase the chance of falls or need for urgent attention? If they face any kind of risk in order to do their job, our complete personal alarm service will provide peace of mind for both employee and employer.

Ensuring we’re always moving with you
Due to current social distancing guidelines, furloughed or redundant employees, and businesses moving to predominantly working from home, more people are working alone either in an empty office or out in the field. This has meant new measures must be put in place to meet the legal duty of care for employees’ safety. In these continually challenging times, although this may not have previous been a requirement this is now a must for many businesses. Whether this is an interim solution or something to implement more long-term, our contracts are flexible to change with you.
