Taking a proactive approach to employee safety ensures that organisations can minimize risk and assure compliance with the various standards expected from a responsible employer. In addition to this, with access to a smartphone app, lone workers experience a boost to confidence in their own safety and ability to undertake their role. With access to a range of alarms and the ability to notify their employees of a red alert, a safer way of lone working is provided with a more supported way of working.
