Geofencing and Perimeter Alerts

Safe Beacon

Advanced Geofencing and Perimeter Alerts

Safe Beacon combines geofencing and virtual perimeter capabilities. It communicates alerts between the Protect platform and Bluetooth-enabled beacons, which can be discreetly installed around or within buildings and structures.

Safe Beacon is an essential tool for maintaining safety and awareness in complex work environments, offering a seamless and automated system for managing and communicating site-specific safety protocols.

Customisable Alerts for Enhanced Safety

When workers approach or enter a Safe Beacon protected area, they receive a custom alert on their lone working app. These alerts can vary from proactive safety warnings to dynamic risk notifications tailored to the specific environment, including starting and stopping the welfare Safe Check.

Ideal for Varied and Hazardous Environments

Safe Beacon is particularly beneficial for organisations with extensive indoor and outdoor premises, hazardous zones, areas requiring specific PPE, or locations with time-limited exposure.

Step 1: Barrier Construction

Deploy Bluetooth-enabled beacons discreetly or prominently around a designated area to create a virtual perimeter or Geofence.

Step 2: Integration with Lone Worker App

Pair the beacons with our Lone Worker App.

Step 3: Activation upon Entry

Upon a lone worker’s approach or entry into a monitored area, Safe Beacon alerts the worker and their line manager. This system enables managers to send crucial safety messages or PPE instructions. Additionally, lone workers can raise an alert via the Lone Worker App within high-risk or restricted areas, ensuring quick location and prompt assistance.

Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC)

Totalmobile’s state-of-the-art Alarm Receiving Centres (ARC) offer unrivalled support for lone workers. Our ARCs operate 24/7, 365 days a year, ensuring every call for assistance is answered by expertly trained support officers.

Setting The Industry Standard

We adhere to the highest industry standards, with accreditations including BS8484:2022 and ISO 27001. In emergencies, our direct police escalation capability through our Unique Reference Number (URN) bypasses the need for conventional 999 calls, saving crucial time. If there is a false alarm, the worker can tell the ARC to stand down.

Virtual buddy

Red Alerts can be used as a virtual buddy connection to the ARC. The ARC operative will stay on the call with a worker should they feel at risk.

Active Listening

ARC staff use the initial seconds of the call for active listening in case a vulnerable worker can’t speak freely. Calls are recorded, and the recordings are admissible as evidence in court, assuring the highest levels of compliance.
