Lone workers are those who work by themselves without close or direct supervision. For example, people who work in fixed establishments but outside normal hours, eg cleaners, security, special productions, maintenance or repair staff etc.
Legal Responsibility
Employers have a duty of care towards their employees, under the Terms of the Health & Safety At Work Act (1974). The LoneWorker system attempts to assist employers in protecting their employees.
The LoneWorker System
A lone worker logs on to our system identifying themselves by means of a unique PIN number and Company ID. If we have not heard from the lone worker by the expected time, our Alarm Receiving Centre operators make several attempts to reach the lone worker, and if no contact is possible, we will then escalate the call to predetermined 'guardians'.
The LoneWorker Method
Each Company is given a Company ID, and each user a unique PIN. The lone worker simply calls in and uses our automated service to log details of where they are going, what time they expect to be finished ('expected log off time') and details of their 'safe location' i.e. where they will be going once they have completed their task.
