Employee Safety Tracking

Many companies go to great lengths to ensure the safety of their employees, whether they are driving a Lorry, visiting patients at home or working on a construction site.

Fleet tracking systems are able to increase a driver’s safety in a number of ways. Firstly, fleet managers are able to monitor driver’s journeys to ensure that they are not speeding and that they are taking the necessary rest breaks, reducing the risk of an accident taking place. In addition, tracking systems can be connected to a panic button that is installed in the cab, within easy reach of the driver. Once pressed, a discreet alert can either be sent to the office or a manned monitoring station to inform that the driver of the vehicle is in distress so that the appropriate action can be taken.

Lone worker tracking systems increase the safety of individuals that work in environments where they are at risk. Lone worker tracking systems are often ideal for employees that perform home visits such as health care workers, probation service and utility engineers as well as security guards, airport and construction workers. Many of these devices also feature a panic button which, like fleet tracking system, can raise an immediate alert when an employee is in distress and in need of urgent assistance.
