- Lone workers often struggle to notify others of an emergency without drawing unnecessary attention to themselves. That is why man down alarm devices come in handy.
- Pressing a panic button or activating it through fall detection activates it instantly, sending out SMS/Text alerts to emergency contacts instantly. Also includes GPS tracking/locating capabilities & voice communication - works globally; different versions available starting at $679 + GST.
- Real-time Monitoring
- Lone workers may feel vulnerable and isolated when working alone in remote locations. Therefore, it's essential that they have access to an alarm device which monitors their activity and can detect anything amiss - man down alarm devices are an excellent solution to ensure safety protocols are followed and employees do not find themselves unprotected in potentially risky situations.
- Man down devices use sensors, including accelerometers and tilt meters, to detect impacts and movements. Algorithms then interpret this data and interpret whether an incident has indeed taken place - this process helps avoid false alarms as well as alert the appropriate responders in an emergency situation.
- Once an alarm is triggered, the device immediately sends out an SMS with a link for tracking its location on Google Maps, as well as calling preselected emergency contacts to try and establish communication with its user.
- Real-time monitoring capability ensures the response process begins as quickly as possible, decreasing the chances of minor incidents becoming major emergencies and providing staff with peace of mind knowing their colleagues can respond promptly and provide all the support necessary to keep them safe at all times.
- Discreet Communication
- Lone workers may face numerous risks when working alone. They could fall or experience seizure symptoms; machinery could break down; they could come under attack by aggressive or hostile members of the public; having a man down alarm device in place allows lone workers to discreetly signal for help should anything occur that compromises their safety.
- Pressing a button will instantly notify emergency contacts of a situation, while certain devices can also be programmed to activate automatically via man-down/no-movement sensors or countdown timers that detect periods of inactivity. This allows lone workers to rest easy knowing their safety is being constantly monitored by someone and that help will arrive as soon as possible, drastically decreasing chances for minor incidents to become major emergencies.
- Familyr from Mercari Technologies is widely adopted by New Zealand-based lone worker groups. Familyr's user-friendly features, including GPS tracking or locating, an SOS button and geofencing capabilities that enable supervisors to keep tabs on employees no matter where they go; it is particularly suitable for elderly care workers, support workers for people living with autism or epilepsy and mobility challenges as well as security personnel working solo during shifts; ultimately it enables many vulnerable Kiwis to remain independent longer thanks to its affordability, simplicity and smart technology.
- Auto-Fall Detection
- Un unexpected fall, injury, or medical emergency can quickly turn life-threatening without prompt assistance arriving quickly enough. Such situations are especially hazardous when workers are working alone in hazardous conditions - making a man down alarm feature an invaluable lifeline in such circumstances.
- Mercari Technologies provides a variety of lone worker safety devices that utilize this technology for enhanced protection in any environment. These devices feature accelerometers which monitor movement across three axes to detect distinct forces that signal falls, sending an alert even if users cannot press their emergency buttons themselves. Furthermore, algorithms filter routine movements out in order to reduce false alerts; finally they require users to cancel alarms within 30 seconds to prevent unnecessary escalation of alarms.
- These devices not only detect man down incidents but also provide real-time monitoring and two-way communication to ensure workers can call for assistance if they fall down, including GPS tracking for quick location pinpointing. They're built to withstand harsh environments while offering real-time notifications so responders can respond immediately when someone needs help.
- Man Down Alarm Workers looking for an all-in-one safety solution that works everywhere can rely on the Mercari Personal Medical Alarm for reliable safety solutions that go the distance, including smartwatches and smartphones with integrated medical alarms as well as standalone personal alarm devices that can be worn beyond home environments and sent SMS alerts to family, friends, nurse carers or remote monitoring stations for immediate assistance.
- Countdown Timer
- Lone workers need reliable alarms in place that won't depend on randomness - that's why Mercari Technologies Man Down technology has been integrated into our range of personal safety devices. It allows a device to be activated if an employee falls or experiences significant changes that indicate incapacitation.
- This feature is powered by accelerometers, which monitor acceleration on three axes to detect forces indicating falls or major changes of position. When an acceleration trigger is identified, an alarm sequence begins, vibrating, flashing and beeping in order to alert users - and if none cancel within 30 seconds the device transmits an emergency man down alert to monitoring software or personnel.
- Mercari Technologies man down alarm devices offer an alternative to traditional panic buttons by notifying emergency contacts after an elapsed period of time (anything between three minutes and an hour), giving workers time to check in with their supervisor that everything is okay, reducing false alarms.
- Geo Fencing capabilities of this lone worker alarm allow supervisors to track and locate employees more efficiently; potentially resulting in faster responses times from supervisors. Programming this device via text from mobile phone makes programming simple with step-by-step electronic instructions included with it.
