Lone Worker Apps

Lone worker apps offer a cost-effective and flexible alternative to standalone safety devices. Installed on a worker’s smartphone or tablet, these apps provide a full suite of safety features that ensure continuous monitoring, emergency response, and real-time location tracking.

‍Key Features of Lone Worker Apps

• Panic Alarm Functionality – A distress signal can be sent to an employer or monitoring centre with a single tap.
• GPS Location Tracking – Allows responders to locate the worker in an emergency.
• Timed Check-ins & Welfare Monitoring – Workers can set scheduled check-ins to confirm their safety at regular intervals.
• Duress Signal (Discreet SOS) – Some apps allow workers to send an emergency alert covertly in case of an attack or threat.
• Automatic Fall Detection – Detects sudden falls and automatically raises an alarm.

Lone worker apps are particularly useful for remote and mobile workers such as delivery drivers, sales representatives, healthcare staff, and housing officers. Many businesses prefer apps because they require no additional hardware – workers can simply use their existing smartphones.
