Lone Worker Systems "Working Alone in Safety"

Establishing safe working for lone workers is no different from organising the safety of other employees. Although lone workers cannot be subject to constant supervision, it is still an employer’s duty to ensure their health and safety at work. Procedures need to be put in place to monitor lone workers to see they remain safe. The Health & Safety Executive advises these may include the following recommendations for electronic warning alarm devices:

	Automatic warning devices - which operate if specific signals are not received periodically from the lone worker
	Other devices designed to raise the alarm in the event of an emergency - and which are operated manually or automatically by the absence of activity

Our Lone Worker system meets the above HSE recommendations and Employers compliance with the Health & Safety Executive's guidelines:-

A basic Lone Worker alarm system would consist of a receiver panel and a lone worker transmitter. The lone worker transmitter is worn by the operative and is equipped with both motion sensing and a personal attack button as means of raising an alarm signal.   The system is also connected to an SD2 speech dialler complete with SMS text facility.

When the PA button is used to raise the alarm, the alarm signal is sent immediately to the panel and indication is given as to which transmitter sent the alarm. Systems may be single or multi channel and the receivers may be fixed, portable, or vehicle mounted.

SatNav based PTrack System - We provide an advanced lone worker system for coverage greater than 900 metres, the system is based on SatNav Technology and Microsoft Earth Mapping integration.  This easy to use device offer live tracking with full street level mapping for 24/7 positional information throughout Europe, with one minute automatic tracking updates for a full 12 hour shift to give constant monitoring and location awareness.

Operating System - It should be remembered that a Lone worker alarm system, no matter how effective it may be, is only part of the solution. A good solid set of procedures should be introduced concerning the use of the system to ensure it is used properly, tested regularly and the staff know what to do in the event of an alarm condition. A log similar to that used to record fire alarm tests, incidents and maintenance works on the system could well prove useful in keeping track of any problems.
