  2.  
  3. Lone worker devices Some lone worker devices feature GPS tracking and geofencing technology to alert emergency contacts whenever a wearer enters or leaves an area, making these tools useful for businesses requiring staff to work in isolated areas.
  4. Man Down Alarm
  5.  
  6. The Man Down Alarm is an essential safety feature designed to safeguard lone workers. It detects movement or lack thereof and sends alerts to designated emergency contacts in case assistance is required.
  7.  
  8. This functionality is vitally important, particularly when employees are working in potentially hazardous conditions such as construction sites or industrial areas where falling and being incapacitated are likely. Furthermore, it helps mitigate risks by expediting response times from colleagues and emergency services alike and thus decreasing risks to life.
  9.  
  10. Effectively, this device activates an SOS cycle if a worker falls or remains stationary for an extended period (determined by the user) without movement or alerts a designated contact person within minutes allowing rapid responses in emergency situations.
  11.  
  12. Adjustable impact sensors and GPS tracking may come in handy as additional features. GPS tracking can particularly come in handy for keeping an eye on lone workers who have stopped moving or have found themselves in less-than-ideal locations, such as unsafe or restricted zones.
  13.  
  14. Employers seeking Man Down Alarm solutions that are straightforward for employees to use should prioritize selecting solutions with simple integration with existing systems - this will ensure employees will embrace and use the alarm effectively. One such intuitive device, such as Ok Alone, combines regular check ins with panic button access and Man Down Alarm capabilities all within a single safety app.
  15. GPS Tracking
  16.  
  17. Lone worker alarm devices equipped with GPS technology allow you to monitor staff members in real-time and track them quickly if an emergency situation arises. Many such devices offer man down fall detection and check in features, while some even feature geofencing technology which notifies emergency contacts if someone enters or leaves a specific location.
  18.  
  19. An efficient way to assess if a lone worker device is suitable for your business is through conducting a risk analysis. This will give you a good indication of the risks that your employees face, helping you to create a policy on working solo - once this policy is in place, adding one will be simple and affordable.
