Lone Worker Protection ID System

Lone Worker Protection ID SystemThe Lone Worker Protection ID System is the result of two years research into the issues faced by lone working individuals and in gaining an understanding of the needs of their employers. The Lone Worker Protection ID System is simple to use, extremely effective and most importantly is always there for the worker.

Deliberately designed to look and feel like a normal identity (ID) cardholder, you are assured that The Lone Worker Protection ID System is always with the worker and within immediate reach should an issue arise. The Lone Worker Protection ID System uses mobile phone technology but unlike a phone can be activated in a discreet fashion thereby ensuring no suspicion is raised. Trying to use a mobile phone to raise an alarm can often exacerbate an already difficult situation and may even be the spark that creates a flashpoint.

Once activated The Lone Worker Protection ID System can open a call to a dedicated and responsible 3rd party point where the call can be managed, recorded*, listened to and if necessary escalated with an immediate response. The Lone Worker Protection ID System can also trigger text messages to automatically be sent directly to colleagues.

Like ID, The Lone Worker Protection ID System is worn either in landscape or portrait mode on a lanyard or by using a label clip. This ensures that irrespective of whether a worker has removed their coat or jacket and put their bag down, The Lone Worker Protection ID System is still with them - at all times. The lanyard hides a clever 'rip alarm', should The Lone Worker Protection ID System be forcibly removed from the wearer then an alarm is automatically triggered.

Lone Worker Protection ID System, back detail.The Lone Worker Protection ID System will accept any industry sized ID card and can therefore be easily introduced into an organisation. If staff are already accustomed to carrying an ID card for proof of identity or for access around their working environment then The Lone Worker Protection ID System causes no concerns and is unlikely to be forgotten.

The Lone Worker Protection ID System is the definitive lone worker protection device for those facing the threat of verbal or physical abuse during their working day.

Fully integrated The Lone Worker Protection ID System i750 delivers the simplest and safest option for workers at risk of abuse and attack.

The simplest option, and that most likely to be readily adopted by employees, is one that fits with their usual working practices and provides a clearly identifiable benefit. The Lone Worker Protection ID System i750 was designed with this in mind.
The Lone Worker Protection ID System form-factor is that of an ID card holder. Employees already expect to be taking their ID card with them every day so it is highly unlikely that they will forget The Lone Worker Protection ID System. It is recommended that users integrate status checking and the leaving of job and location information as a part of their working practices and dynamic risk assessment. Again, this means that the condition of their The Lone Worker Protection ID System will remain upper most in their minds and it will be kept charged and ready for use.

The Lone Worker Protection ID System i750 integrates all of the communications and safety functions into a single unit; one unit to remember and one unit to charge. Their phone remains ancillary to this and not a core component of their security system.

Integrated communications enables the most responsive of user experience as well as the generation of management text messages to enable enhanced service offerings to be constructed around the Lone Worker Protection ID System. The uniquely identifiable nature of this device also means that devices can be pooled, allowing a single unit to be used for more than one shift worker.

The Lone Worker Protection ID System i770

All of the functionality and performance of the Lone Worker Protection ID System i750 with the added capability to automatically raise an alert in case of injury or incapacity of the user.

According to HSE statistics there were 212 people killed at work in the period 2005/2006 and a further 28,605 who suffered a major injury, losing industry six million working days. There are many sectors, such as construction, security, facilities management, utilities and logistics that employ large numbers of workers, where there is not only a risk from abuse or attack but also a significant risk of injury. Additionally, new Corporate Manslaughter legislation is focusing attention on lone workers and a company's legal and social duty of care to provide staff with safety equipment that reduces their working risks from both attack and injury.

The Lone Worker Protection ID System i770 with Man-Down provides all the proven benefits of the existing The Lone Worker Protection ID System product, protecting lone workers from abuse or attack, whilst incorporating the capability for a monitoring centre to be alerted, either manually or automatically, in the case of injury or incapacity of the user.

State-of-the-art signal processing technology analyses tilt, immobility and any sudden impacts, in combination with non-response timed alerts. This, in addition to a rip alarm and discreetly operable red alert button helps to detect an employee in difficulty, and raise an alarm across the mobile phone network, whilst minimising false alarms.

The Lone Worker Protection ID System i770 can be worn using a rugged, weather resistant, silicone case (accessory) that attaches to the user's belt. Maintaining a clear window on the user's identity card and easy in-situ access to the red alert button, a quick release mechanism enables easy access to the Lone Worker Protection ID System to check status and leave amber alert messages without having to remove the case.

The Lone Worker Protection ID System i757 with GPS

All of the functionality and performance of the Lone Worker Protection ID System i750 with the added capability to locate using GPS satellite technology all within The Lone Worker Protection ID System's discreet form factor.

If your workforce operate in rural environments or face risk continuously whilst working and moving around then the Lone Worker Protection ID System i757 has been designed for you.

The Lone Worker Protection ID System i757 provides all the proven benefits of the existing The Lone Worker Protection ID System product, protecting lone workers from abuse or attack, whilst incorporating the capability for a location fix (GPS) to be sent from the unit in the event of an incident. The frequency at which GPS location data is taken by the i757 is highly configurable as are the conditions under which this information is sent, typically to an alarm receiving centre (ARC).

The Lone Worker Protection ID System i757 maintains the unique ID card format and incorporates GPS with no obvious external signs thereby ensuring the user is able to wear and use the i757 in a discreet fashion.

GPS location data can be fed from the unit at defined points in time or with a higher regularity if the user raises a red alert. All GPS data when sent to the ARC includes both current AND last known position (two separate readings). This enables more a more intelligent view to be taken by an ARC on location, particularly if a current reading is affected because the lone worker is indoors.
