A lone worker safety device is a piece of technology that is designed to protect employees working alone.
The built-in SOS alarm can be pressed when the user needs help, for example if they’re in danger, suffer an injury or feel threatened.
A single press of the SOS button immediately raises an alarm to the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) where an expert ARC Controller responds in seconds.
Typically, lone worker devices are small and shaped like a fob or an ID badge so that they don’t attract attention.
When an SOS alarm is raised using a lone worker device the ARC Controller will know who the user is, where the user is and any important information (e.g. medical conditions, date of birth).
These are all things the 999 operator will ask before dispatching any services. Having this information saves valuable time.
In addition, the ARC Controller is trained to stay calm and will effectively relay information that someone experiencing the situation may not be able to do.
