Lone Worker Solutions
Lone workers face many dangers throughout their normal working day. As an employer you need a system which can help ensure their safety, particularly if they are faced with precarious or potentially dangerous situations.
Mobility as a Service packages can include a lone worker system which can help towards ensuring your lone workers' safety by leveraging the most reliable real-time communications and locationing technologies.
A lone worker system is a legal obligation
Published HSE guidelines state that procedures need to be put into place to monitor lone workers and ensure their safety. These include:
- Regular contact between the lone worker and supervision using either a telephone or radio;
- Automatic warning devices which operate if specific signals are not received periodically from the lone worker;
- Other devices designed to raise the alarm in the event of an emergency and which are operated manually or automatically by the absence of activity;
- Checks that a lone worker has returned to their base or home on completion of a task.
Jade have designed and installed mobile working solutions for many years. Our expertise in this area has led us to develop our lone worker systems, with the safety and security of your lone workers at the heart of the design.
It's the technology which makes this possible
The real-time data connection on the mobile devices allows you to have constant contact with your lone workers. Warning signals can automatically be transmitted to you if they haven't sent a periodic update and alarms can be raised by the lone worker should they face danger.
GPS radios use satellite tracking to pinpoint the location of your lone worker should an alarm be raised. It can also be used to check that the lone worker has returned to their base on completion of a task.
Business Benefits
The data connection also allows you to update meeting information in real-time. Jobs can be scheduled automatically and forms can be filled and submitted electronically, virtually eliminating time-intensive paper-based processes and allows your lone workers to get more work done in a day.
The GPS radio can also enable satellite navigation and your lone worker system can include route optimisation, so as your lone workers spend less time and fuel costs travelling to a location.
Rugged mobile computers also have a much longer serviceable life than their non-rugged counterparts and you can expect to get at least 5 years out of the devices. Couple this with a much lower failure rate and you get a more cost effective solution, enabling a swift ROI.
Mobility as a Service includes a fully featured lone working system, rugged mobile device, accessories, service, maintenance and support contracts for a low monthly fee.
