Protect Your Lone Workers with Our Active Track Device

 Imagine being all alone and you suddenly feel dizzy. Scary right?

While this is a situation that is less likely to happen in the close confinement of an office, it is a genuine danger for lone workers. These are people whose job forces them to be alone, for example- night shift guards, workers on isolated floors, machinery maintenance workers, etc.

As an employer, it is your responsibility to look after your lone worker’s safety.

How To Protect Lone Workers?

New rules have been introduced over the years to reduce the number of lone worker accidents. However, the number of instances is still high so you can improve on them with these pointers.

Regular Check-ins

Lone workers usually work in a scenario where they cannot be seen or heard easily. Letting them stay alone from the time of punch in to punch out isn’t ideal.

A great idea is to check in on them occasionally. In order to not interfere with their work, make a check-in schedule after a set period. With this, you can immediately identify potential problems if a worker missed their check-in.

Monitor Their Work

By using a GPS device, you can ensure that your lone worker is at their post and safe. 

This process kills two birds with one stone. You can look after their safety while making sure that they are not lazing around during work.

Have a Communication Plan

Checking in on them is a good idea, but there should be a way for them to contact you too.

If they encounter an emergency between their shift, they should know where, how and whom to contact. All this should be part of your communication plan.

Provide The Right Tech

Many limitations prevent you from manually watching over the wellbeing of your lone worker.

Invest in the right tech for the maximum level of safety. Not only that, but you will have to train your workers how to use the tech. Underline their safety and all the other benefits they will receive by using it.

All this talk about the tech, but is there anything that delivers on this?

 

Active Track by Guard Patrol Products

Active Track is the real-time monitoring system bought to you by Guard Patrol Products. It is a compact hand-held device with dedicated GPS, Read Checkpoint, Call Me and Panic buttons. This enables two-way voice communication and hence, is the best option for lone worker protection.

The quad-band GSM allows fixed call, SMS and data allowance to prevent misuse. The ‘call me’ button can be programmed to call a certain number. Workers can also use it to send an alert to the system to call them back. With the help of GPS tracking, you know where your lone workers are at all times.

The device also has an RFID reader to read RFID tags as proof of presence. It keeps your worker safe with features like a panic alarm and man-down alert. The latter activates itself when the motion sensor detects a major change in the pre-configured position and angles. We extend safety to the device itself as it has a tamper detection alert to let you know of any attempts to force open the device or if they subjected it to excessive force.

Body Worn-cameras vs CCTV cameras- Similarities & Differences

Crime has always been prevalent and has continued to rise in the past decade. Countermeasures like CCTV cameras and Body-worn cameras (BWC) came into existence in response to the spike in crime rate. Both offer concrete evidence which helps determine the victim, the perpetrator and the nature of the crime. Let’s delve deeper into what they are along with the similarities and differences between the two.
