Lone Worker Tracking Systems

Employee safety is paramount to most businesses but is of significant importance to those companies whose employees work in high risk or hazardous environments such as home visitors, security staff and construction workers.

Lone worker tracking systems provide employees with the peace of mind that their company not only knows where they are at any given time during their working day but that they are able to quickly raise an alarm discreetly via the lone worker tracking device, if in need of urgent assistance.

Lone worker tracking devices are available in variety of forms which are suitable for a wide range of job roles and working environments. In addition GPS (Global Position System) enabled mobile phones can also be used to track employees. Mobile phone tracking systems are popular with companies that wish to track individuals as opposed to vehicles, as they do not require employees to carry an additional device.

Tracking devices such as these can come in the form of an identity badge forming part of a uniform. These devices are especially suitable for health workers or members of the prison service on home visits, and utility workers. For construction site workers hand held radios (walkie talkies) with integrated tracking technology can be used to increase safety as many include Panic/SOS alarms as well as automatic ‘man down’ alerts.
