Lone-worker & man-down protection.

Protect people who work alone or out of sight. Location, duress, fall and no-motion alerts reach a control room fast — with the position responders need — and your duty-of-care is evidenced.

How it works

Lone-worker & man-down protection: how it works, and what it protects.

The right radio for the job — chosen, never sold — mapped to your use case. That is what makes the ROI fast.

1 · Equip

Workers carry a wearable with duress button, fall and no-motion sensing.

2 · Detect

A fall, no-motion or duress press raises an alarm with the worker's live location.

3 · Respond

The control room is alerted instantly and guides responders straight to the spot.

Where it pays back

Industries this solution suits

In practice

Help that reaches them in seconds.

A utility equips field crews with wearables. A fall, no-motion or duress event raises an alarm with the worker's live position, the control room is alerted instantly, and duty-of-care is evidenced.

Typically bought by: EHS / HSE, control-room operations, HR, compliance.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does lone-worker and man-down protection work?

A worn device combines location with man-down (no-motion or tilt) and panic-button detection, raising an alarm with the person's position so help reaches them fast.

Does it work where there is no GPS or cellular?

Yes - indoors and underground we use UWB or BLE anchors or mesh; outdoors GNSS; and we design for the dead spots, which is exactly where lone workers are most at risk.

Who gets the alert, and how fast?

Alerts route to your control room, security or designated responders with location and time, integrating with PA, mustering and existing alarm systems for a coordinated response.

How do we balance safety with worker privacy?

Location can be revealed on alarm rather than tracked continuously, and policies are agreed with workers and unions - protection without surveillance.

What standards does it support?

It underpins your lone-working risk assessments and duty-of-care obligations, with an auditable record of alerts and response times.
