Lone Worker App

Empower Your Team with Instant Safety

Our advanced Lone Worker App is built for both iOS and Android, providing your team with a complete safety toolkit that requires minimal training and effortlessly meets compliance standards.

Effortless Integration, Rapid Activation
  • Gold Certified Safety – BS8484:2022 Gold Certified smartphones ensure industry-leading protection.
  • Easy Deployment – Our app requires minimal training and runs seamlessly alongside regular phone functions—meaning it available when they need it most.
  • Emergency-Ready – The SOS button overrides the keypad lock, delivering immediate access to our dedicated 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC).

Instant Alerts, Immediate Response

Red Alert: A swift emergency alarm connecting the worker to a trained operative at the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) for immediate assistance and potential emergency service escalation.
Yellow Alert: Allows workers to record a voice memo detailing their location or task, providing valuable context for enhanced support if an alarm is raised.
Safe Check: A timed check-in system to verify worker well-being. If no response is received within a set period, it triggers an alert to the ARC.
Group Alert: Sends updates or important information to a predefined group of staff or specific individuals, especially useful for lone workers in a particular area.
Safe Beacon: Safe Beacon’s geofencing and virtual perimeter features offer additional safety for workers in complex environments. As workers enter a Safe Beacon-protected area, they receive customisable alerts on their lone working devices, compatible with smartphones and intrinsically safe devices. These alerts range from proactive safety warnings to dynamic risk notifications, adapting to the specific environment.
GPS Locate: Increases visibility of lone workers by updating their location every 10 minutes or upon alarm activation.
Worker Down Alert: Ideal for hazardous environments like construction sites, this alarm uses motion sensors to detect lack of movement or impact, automatically alerting in case of concerns.

Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC)

When Seconds Matter, We’re Ready.

Our state-of-the-art Alarm Receiving Centre is the heart of our service. Operated in partnership with Mitie Total Security Management, our experts answer every call within 10 seconds—ensuring rapid risk assessment and emergency dispatch 24/7.

Setting The Industry Standard

We meet the highest industry standards with BS8484:2022 and ISO 27001 accreditations. In emergencies, our Unique Reference Number (URN) directly escalates incidents to the police—bypassing conventional 999 calls to save crucial time. Plus, if it’s a false alarm, workers can simply instruct 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

In the first few seconds of a call, ARC staff actively listen—capturing essential cues if a worker can’t speak freely. Calls are recorded and admissible in court, ensuring high-standards of compliance.
