The Comprehensive Guide to Lone Worker Monitoring Systems

Working alone can be dangerous, but with the right safety measures in place, it doesn’t have to be. Lone worker monitoring systems can help you keep track of your remote employees and ensure their safety. In this article, we’ll discuss how a lone worker tracking system can help you stay safe. We’ll also share some tips on choosing the right system for your business.

What are Lone Worker Monitoring Systems?

Lone Worker Monitoring Systems help managers maintain communication with their isolated workforce and monitor their safety while away from immediate support. In the case of an emergency, the likelihood of serious harm is significantly reduced if they can rapidly contact their company or emergency services. Companies can determine the location of their remote workers and send the emergency response to that location.

Whilst there are some privacy concerns workers may have using these systems, a safe and ISO accredited software ensures that these worries do not need to stand in the way of implementation. Only during work hours will lone employees be able to be monitored. Moreover, only those responsible for their safety will be given access to the information.

When to use a Lone Worker Monitoring System?

Conducting a risk assessment of the workplace and surrounding region can help you determine lone worker safety requirements. From the potential threats identified, you can understand how to mitigate them with safety solutions and policies.

For example, a risk that almost all lone workers face is that there is no one around to provide assistance if something goes wrong. If they have fainted, been in a car crash or some other scenario where they can't just pull out their phone and give their manager a call, a lone worker monitoring system can help reduce this risk with automated check-in and escalation processes. If a lone worker doesn't check-in at a predetermined time, managers are notified and either confirm their employee is safe, or send help.

Benefits of Lone Worker Monitoring Systems

Efficiently Manage Operations

Managers can better optimise processes, remove risks, plan tasks, interact with staff, and create comprehensive activity reports by checking up on the whereabouts of lone workers using a remote worker monitoring system. This increased efficiency will also result in cost savings.

Increase Worker's Confidence

When working alone in high-risk sectors, employees usually feel more secure and in control since they know that their supervisors will be informed right away and send immediate help if anything goes wrong. They know that someone is watching out for them, and someone has their back.

Adherence to Laws Imposed by Government Authorities

A number of countries have laws requiring businesses with remote workers to take special precautions and maintain constant contact with their staff. 

Businesses in the United States are required to ensure their workplace is safe from any known risks that might put their workers in danger of dying or being seriously injured. Similarly, companies in Australia are also obligated by law to ensure their employees are healthy and safe on the job by providing them with a safe and healthy work environment, safe methods of working, the necessary monitoring, and guidance.

When companies use a lone worker monitoring system, they can quickly check in on their workers and ensure they are safe, as well as comply with legal health and safety regulations.

What You Should Look For in a Lone Worker Monitoring System?

Completely automated check-ins

In today's world, almost everyone has access to a mobile device, whether it's a basic phone or a sophisticated smartphone. Research shows that 85% of American mobile phone users have a smartphone, and ninety-seven percent have some type of mobile phone.

Some methods, such as a smartphone app that automates lone worker monitoring, may solve the safety issues for lone workers instead of utilizing a conventional cellular device with human check-ins.

You can use any standard smartphone to install a lone worker check-in app. These applications often provide the same functionality as standalone devices, such as location monitoring, communication, emergency alert button, and fall detection. 

Automatic worker monitoring applications, such as SafetyIQ, are built on a tried-and-true check-in mechanism that enables lone employees to ensure their safety with their company and provide their precise location. In the event of an emergency, such as in the case of a worker falling, the SafetyIQ lone worker monitoring system can help to send emergency alerts.

Connectivity

Much of worker safety is dependent on consistent, continuous communication with a supervisor or anyone who can send aid in an emergency. When employees use SafetyIQ, they can also integrate with GPS devices such as SPOT or Garmin Devices. If your lone worker is in areas with no mobile connectivity, they can still check-in or request help through these devices and have accurate location data in a single dashboard.

Actionable Insights

A reliable lone worker monitoring system may provide useful data, allowing supervisors to take preventative measures. They are able to provide crucial information, such as when and where lone workers are at risk and what should be done to protect them.

Final Thoughts

The lone worker monitoring system is a critical part of a safety management system. If it’s properly implemented, it can significantly reduce the risk of accidents and injuries for lone workers. 

It can also alert supervisors when workers are in risky situations and provide them with information about accidents or emergencies. But when you're considering the adoption of a worker monitoring system, you'll want to make sure it is the best fit for your business.SafetyIQ provides one of the best worker safety solutions. You can contact experts at SafetyIQ to request a free demo or to get more information about the SafetyIQ Lone Worker Monitoring System.
