Man Down
Using existing smartphone technology to alert a supervisor if someone has become immobile or lost consciousness. Having this capability, in a single device, in your pocket, gives lone and remote workers the added protection they need to feel safe while completing their shift.
When They Can’t Call for Help, OK Alone Does It for Them
Man Down is an automated safety feature within the OK Alone app that detects when a worker has stopped moving for a set period of time. Designed specifically for lone workers who may be unable to call for help, it triggers an alert to supervisors or emergency contacts so action can be taken quickly, even when the worker is unresponsive.
• Detects lack of motion using built-in phone sensors.• Starts a timer after a period of inactivity (customizable by the organization).• Sends a pre-alert to the worker before triggering a full emergency alert.• Notifies monitors or emergency contacts if no response is received.
In many lone work environments, an injury or medical emergency can leave a worker unable to call for help. That’s where Man Down becomes a potential lifesaver. It adds an extra layer of protection by identifying silent emergencies in those times when a worker can’t press a panic button or respond to a check-in.
• Automatically alerts when a worker is inactive.• Speeds up emergency response without manual input.• Prevents silent or unreported incidents.• Easily configurable to match job risk levels.• Uses the worker’s smartphone - no extra hardware needed.
