Keep your Lone & Mobile staff safe from harm

• GPS monitors the worker’s location
• The system automatically alerts co-workers if the lone worker does not appear to complete the session within a specified time
• A covert silent alarm can over-ride the keypad lock and allow co-workers or police to listen live as an incident unfolds
• Compliant with BS 8484 – helps to fulfil employer’s duty of care obligations

There are more and more lone workers in the private and public sector. There is an established trend of growing numbers of employees working from home or on a mobile basis. At the same time these employees are encountering citizens or customers who may be upset, depressed, angry or simply unpredictable. Under the Corporate Manslaughter Act in 2008 along with the Health and Safety (Offences Act 2008); employers have a 'Duty of Care' for the security of their work force.

So how does an organisation combine delivering a good service with ensuring the safety of the employee? The answer is Lone Worker Personal Security Services. They enable employees to log their location and tasks and other information as needed. If their safety is compromised then they can easily and quickly summon help.

Guardian 24 can help employers to comply with current legislation by ensuring that your Lone Worker policy and risk assessment is set up correctly.  We also provide employers with a web application where you can view and trend statistics to ensure your policies are being maintained and to analyse usage levels and patterns and user physical locations.

Take advantage of our FREE Lone Worker Health Check. Whether you are considering using a Lone Worker Personal Security system or already have one in place. This health check review will help you understand where you may have current weaknesses in your Risk Assessment policies and procedures. On completion of this initial first phase review we will provide you with the feedback and recommendations for improvement moving forward.

The Guardian24 Application enables a BlackBerry Smartphone to be used as a highly functional Lone Worker Device as stipulated in the British Standards Institution (BS 8484:2009 standard). The Application is designed to operate as part of an end–to–end security solution involving an alarm receiving centre with BS:5979 category II compliance.
