> Why SafetyIQ

Duty of care for the people you can't see

Every minute a worker operates alone or off-site carries risk. SafetyIQ replaces call-in lists, whiteboards and memory with one system that knows who is out, where they are and what to do when something goes wrong.

01

Know who's out and where

See who is active, checked in or overdue across every region, on one live map with GPS, satellite and IVMS integration.

02

Stay connected beyond coverage

Satellite and GPS device integration keeps check-ins and locations coming from mines, rural sites and offshore. Offline check-ins sync once back in range.

03

Escalate without chasing

A missed check-in or SOS alerts designated contacts automatically, and escalation continues until someone responds and safety is confirmed.

> How a check-in works

From first check-in to safe return, nothing is left to memory

Whether someone is working alone on site, driving between jobs or working from home, SafetyIQ keeps the schedule and steps in automatically when a check-in doesn't come.

.
01

Schedule

Set check-in intervals tailored to each worker or team.

02

Check in

Workers check in or report an incident in one tap from their phone, even offline.

03

Monitor

Supervisors see who is active, checked in or overdue on one dashboard.

04

Escalate

A missed check-in or SOS notifies designated contacts automatically, with last-known location.

05

Respond

Contacts claim the alert, so everyone knows who is handling it.

06

Safe

Escalation continues until safety is confirmed, and every action is logged.

✓GPS, satellite and IVMS integration
✓Works offline, syncs on reconnect
✓Configurable escalation paths
✓Audit log of every check-in and response

Mobile and lone worker safety FAQs

What is lone worker safety?

+

Lone worker safety refers to the systems and procedures that protect employees who work alone or in remote areas without direct supervision. These workers face unique risks due to isolation, limited communication, and delayed emergency response times. SafetyIQ ensures these individuals remain connected, visible, and protected at all times through automated check-ins and real-time alerts.

How does SafetyIQ protect lone and mobile workers?

+

SafetyIQ uses a mobile-first platform that keeps remote workers in touch with their teams. Through scheduled check-ins, GPS visibility, and automated escalation workflows, the system instantly alerts supervisors if a worker misses a check-in or reports distress—allowing for immediate action when it matters most.

What industries benefit from lone worker protection?

+

Any industry with employees working in the field, off-site, or outside standard supervision can benefit. That includes logistics, oil and gas, utilities, construction, mining, healthcare, and maintenance. From technicians to drivers, SafetyIQ keeps every worker visible and supported, no matter the location or shift.

How does a lone worker solution improve safety culture?

+

When workers know their safety is actively being managed, trust grows—and so does engagement. SafetyIQ helps organizations build a culture where people feel valued and protected. It shows that safety isn’t just a policy—it’s a promise.
