Safe Beacon’s geofencing and virtual perimeter features offer additional safety for workers in complex environments.

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.

Management Portal

Whichever device they use, lone workers’ system activity can be managed through one single interface.

Unlimited staff and tailored profiles

Our Lone Worker solution includes an easy-to-use web-based management system that supports an unlimited number of tailored staff profiles across multiple devices. It allocates personal escalation and response protocols for each system user’s protection, according to their individual risk assessment. Different protection and monitoring features can be activated or de-activated as necessary, should an individual’s job function change. The system even allows for workers to have shared or pooled devices, to keep costs down and to offer maximum protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is lone worker protection and why is it important?

Lone worker protection refers to the practices and technologies implemented to ensure the safety and well-being of employees who work alone or without direct supervision. This is crucial because lone workers are at higher risk of workplace accidents, emergencies, or threats due to their isolation.

What are the common risks faced by lone workers?

Common risks include physical accidents, health emergencies, confrontations, environmental hazards, and inability to call for immediate help. The nature of risks can vary greatly depending on the worker’s environment and type of work.

What legal obligations do employers have regarding lone worker protection in the UK?

In the UK, employers are legally obligated under the Health and Safety at Work Act to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of their employees, including lone workers. This involves conducting risk assessments, providing adequate training, and implementing appropriate safety measures.

How can I encourage my staff to engage with lone worker protection?

  1. Training and Education: Begin by providing comprehensive training sessions. Educate your staff on the importance of their safety and how Protect directly contributes to it. Highlight real-world scenarios where the system can be a vital tool for their protection. We can provide training as part of our fully managed service.
  2. Seamless Integration: Leverage the seamless integration of Protect into Totalmobile’s mobile workforce management and job management solutions. This integration means that staff don’t have to juggle multiple apps or devices, reducing the learning curve and making compliance more convenient.
  3. Regular Demonstrations and Refreshers: Schedule regular demonstrations and refresher courses. These sessions can reinforce the importance of the system and keep staff updated on any new features or best practices.
  4. Feedback and Incentives: Encourage feedback from your staff about their experiences with the system. Their insights can help tailor the system to be more user-friendly.
  5. Integration with Daily Tasks: Make the use of the Protect a standard part of daily check-ins and task assignments. When the system is ingrained in the daily routine, compliance becomes automatic.
  6. Support and Accessibility: Ensure that your staff have continuous access to support for any issues or questions regarding Protect. This helps in resolving any hesitations or technical problems quickly, maintaining a smooth user experience.
  7. Promote a Safety-First Culture: Foster a workplace culture that prioritises safety. When employees understand that their well-being is a top priority, they are more likely to engage with and use lone worker protection proactively.

What role does employee training play in lone worker protection?

Employee training is crucial. It should cover how to recognize and handle potential risks, use safety equipment and devices, and respond to emergencies. Ongoing training ensures that workers are up-to-date with best practices and familiar with the tools at their disposal.

Can some team members utilise the Lone Worker Device while others use the Lone Worker App?

Absolutely. Our platform accommodates both Lone Worker Devices and Lone Worker App licences within a single account. Many organisations choose this flexible approach to customise safety solutions based on individual employee needs, job roles, and risk assessments.

Does Totalmobile's lone worker protection solution offer a dedicated 24/7 alarm monitoring service?

Operational compliance is heightened through direct-to-device (D2D) wellness check-ins during the workday. This ensures continuous service and protects your organisation from potential fines and hazards.

Can lone worker protection systems be customised for different industries?

Yes, lone worker protection systems can and should be customised to suit the specific needs of different industries. This may involve the use of specialized devices, tailored response protocols, and industry-specific training.
