  1. Lone worker systems are software-based tools designed to monitor and address safety issues affecting remote workers. They give supervisors accurate details about a worker's location, making it easier for emergency response teams to deploy faster. Lone worker systems also support policies and procedures for risk assessments. The most comprehensive digital solutions offer various features, such as GPS tracking with two-way communication with employees in distress as well as customizable escalation chains, automatic check-ins, customizable check-in schedules, customizable alarm chains and automatic check-ins among many other essential functions.

  3. Most lone worker systems rely on GPS technology for tracking and alerting. It can monitor movement and notify an ARC center when someone hasn't moved for a predefined amount of time, or enters or exits designated areas. Furthermore, GPS monitoring enables supervisors to quickly respond if something goes amiss.

  5. One alternative for lone worker systems is an app designed for mobile devices, like Aware360 on both iOS and Android platforms. Users can configure Aware360 either team- or individual-wide and its features include 2-way communication, GPS tracking, no-motion monitoring and customizable escalation chains - not to mention its panic button which alerts supervisors immediately of an incident.

  7. Key features to look out for when choosing a lone worker system include GPS tracking with pinpoint accuracy, geofencing capability that monitors entry and exit of designated areas, 2-way voice mobile communications devices as backup to landlines or office phones, fall detection sensors to detect unsafe environments such as hazardous gases or even unconscious workers, fall detectors that detect falls as soon as they occur and fall detection sensors to identify workers when unconsciousness has set in.

  9. working alone safety devices For maximum versatility and cost effectiveness, digital lone worker systems offer many advantages. Utilizing mobile apps to monitor and communicate with remote workers, as well as being managed from a cloud-based administrator dashboard/portal, these systems are employee-enabled so each worker can opt-in/off real-time tracking/location sharing when starting work and turn it off once finished, eliminating privacy concerns while helping improve morale.

Blackline Safety's G7 device integrates two-way communication and gas detection into one device for monitoring of lone workers as well as emergency mass notification capabilities, offering custom pricing. Businesses looking for safety tracking with emergency mass notification capabilities will find this a viable solution.
