Users can trigger alerts by simply pressing their SOS button - similar to how a smartphone alarm feature would function - or, for more advanced options such as tilt detection or man-down functionality, enter a code to activate their alarm or set an emergency protocol protocol through an app.

Man down device Alarms generated on lone workers' devices are logged for later reference or passed directly to their escalation contacts - typically their manager or colleague - for immediate response from within their own office, saving time and preventing bottlenecks in support. This allows managers to respond immediately from within their office instead of being forced into responding from outside their own location.

11. Many lone worker alarm solutions also incorporate geofencing features to ensure employees of an organization are in safe areas before beginning work. Geofencing alerts can be set off if an employee enters or leaves an area, making this perfect for businesses with specific risky areas that must always be covered.
