Organisations can take advantage of the fact that Protect supports the widest range of lone worker specific devices on the market. This means that each lone worker can be provided with the device that fits their specific needs – and organisation are only required to work with a single vendor in order to do so.

The SOS Fob is undeniably the most popular device in the market, mostly due to it’s ease of us, discrete design and multi network roaming SIM that provides enhanced connectivity. However the wide selection of devices means that there is the right device available for every lone worker. View all our devices below.

Our safe hub app provides remote staff with the opportunity to use their standard mobile device as a lone worker safety device. Via a simple push of a button on their mobile phone, staff can immediately raise alarms and request support.

Key features:

The SOS fob is unarguably the most commonly deployed lone worker device and provides users with a BS8484:2016 Gold Certified personal safety device. Discrete, lightweight and durable the Fob can be worn by the employee via a lanyard or clip to ensure easy access when required, Utilising GPS and GSM technologies the SOS Fob enables organisations to locate lone workers, while also enabling staff to speak directly to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC), if they find themselves in danger.

This has been highly effective for major clients such as Centrica, Bristol Water, Essex County Council, NHS Trusts and Wessex Water, who collectively have over 10,000+ SOS Fob devices deployed across the country in rural and coastal areas.

The smallest and most simple of lone worker devices, the SOS button can be worn by a member of staff to alert others via a quick click of a button. The SOS button can be attached to a lanyard, clip or wristband to ensure it is easily accessible.

The SOS ID Badge Alarm brings another level of discreet, wearable protection to Safe Hub. Particularly suitable for any role where some form of identification is required, such as a health or social worker, the ID badge doubles as a lone worker protection device. This slim and ultra-light device is easy to wear, using a clip or carrying strap. With GPS Locate, Red Alert, Yellow Alert and Worker Down fitted as standard, the device provides a broad range of support options.

Using GPS and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) technology, a worker’s location can be pinpointed within moments. With its powerful hybrid communications technology, the device works equally well indoors and outdoors. When indoors or in a public location, it uses cellular, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals. Outdoors, it deploys 3-constellation GNSS service for a faster location fix. Whatever their situation, this will provide the right kind of help to lone workers as soon as they need it.

SPOT Gen3

SPOT Gen3 is a satellite device that provides a critical, life-saving line of communication when ordinary phones won’t work. It’s an ideal solution for lone workers who travel into remote areas where mobile signals may be weak, intermittent or non-existent. Deploying GPS technology, the device automatically sends the user’s location information to the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) at 10-minute intervals. This information can be accessed by ARC operatives in an emergency, if the worker triggers a Red Alert.

SPOT X

SPOT X, the latest innovation from Globalstar, provides 2-way satellite messaging so lone workers can stay connected when they are in an area with poor or zero mobile signal.  The device provides powerful communication in a crisis and allows the Safe Hub Alarm Receiving Centres (ARCs) to locate your workers if the worst happens. Deploying GPS technology, the device automatically sends the user’s location information to the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) at 10-minute intervals. This information can be accessed by ARC operatives in an emergency if the worker triggers a Red Alert.

ProtectMe is a powerful GSM/GPS-enabled personal tracking device. Ideally suited to lone workers, the product is low-cost, durable and extremely easy to use. What’s more, it’s the most feature-rich dedicated device on the market and supports the full range of Safe Hub features.

ProtectMe’s screen allows users to choose their own safety interval on the proactive Safe Check feature. Additionally, in-built sensors raise an alert with the ARC via the reactive Worker Down feature if they detect a fall or impact. To maximise signal coverage even in areas of poor reception, we can supply ProtectMe with a roaming multi-network SIM.

Key Features:

These devices are ideal for lone workers operating in hazardous areas or extreme conditions. Intrinsically safe devices limit the use of electrical and thermal energy to a level below that required to ignite a specific hazardous atmospheric mixture.

At the same time, they’re top-of-the-range mobile phones, deploying GPS/GSM technology, and they provide excellent reception and coverage.

Our recommended devices support the full range of Safe Hub features. In the event of an accident or dangerous situation, the lone worker can manually press the emergency button to trigger a Red Alert at the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). Meanwhile, the in-built 3D sensors will raise a reactive Worker Down alarm at the ARC. And the device’s screen allows the user to set intervals for our proactive Safe Check feature, and to access Group Alert and Safe Beacon messages.
