Lone Worker

NOTE: Video demonstrates both Lone Worker and Emergency Button features.

 

What it is:

Ensures the safety of single workers by automatically initiating an emergency response if they become incapacitated or unresponsive.

How it Works:

  • Users can activate the Lone Worker feature manually on their radio before starting their solitary work session.
  • The radio starts a timer (configurable duration).
  • During the timer period:
    • The user can perform a periodic check-in (typically by pressing a button) to reset the timer.
    • If no check-in is received within the pre-defined timeframe, the radio automatically triggers an emergency alert.

Emergency Alert:

The alert can include:

  • Sending a pre-recorded message or text notification to designated supervisors or dispatch.
  • Initiating a voice call to pre-programmed contacts.
  • In some configurations, transmitting the worker's location data (if GPS is enabled and supported).

Benefits:

  • Enhanced worker safety: Provides a safety net for lone workers, ensuring help arrives promptly in an emergency.
  • Improved peace of mind: Both workers and their supervisors can have a sense of security knowing an automated system monitors their well-being.
  • Increased productivity: Allows workers to focus on their tasks without constantly worrying about raising an alarm if something goes wrong.

Additional Information:

  • The specific functionalities and configuration options for Lone Worker may vary depending on the radio model and software version.
  • Lone Worker is often used in conjunction with other features like:
    • Man Down: Automatically detects if the worker falls or becomes motionless.
    • GPS Location Tracking: Provides real-time location data for emergency responders.
