Ensure Your People Are Safe

The Ok Alone 24/7 call centre will escalate missed check-ins or help requests according to your instructions.

A mining company checks staff safety with Ok Alone

GC is a mining company operating under strict safety laws. They have several remote monitoring stations where security staff work alone 24/7.

With poor cellphone connections, GC opted to have Ok Alone call the station landlines, so security guards could check in. Staff shifts are easily set up in the monitors’ control panel so they get calls at the right time. Prior to the shift ending, Ok Alone reminds the staff to end their shift. This way they significantly reduce the number of false alarms they used to have with another system.

If a check is missed the call center contacts the duty monitor as set up in the system, according to GC’s safety plan.

Know Where Your Team Are, Even When They Are On The Move

Ok Alone uses GPS positioning to pinpoint where your staff are, even when they are on the move. This makes it easy to find them quickly in an emergency. The daily location report also shows you where they have been, which can be used to confirm to your customers your team are where they supposed to be.

Ok Alone keeps a trucking company in touch with their staff on the move

PT is a trucking company dealing with hazardous goods and operating under strict safety regulations. PT needs needs to know where its drivers are at all times. Drivers use a mixture of Android, iPhone and Blackberry smartphone devices to check in. Drivers simply start their shift with the app, and regular GPS updates are sent back to the office of each driver’s location.

When a check-in is missed or a help alert is sent, this tracking information is immediately provided to the appropriate people. If there is a query about pick-up and delivery times, PT can quickly confirm their drivers were where they needed to be.

Our 24/7 call centre deals with your missed check-ins and help requests when your monitors aren’t available. But you control when you want Live Monitoring to be on or off. This control significantly reduces your cost.

A home care company directors get the evening off. And they save money too!

LM is a small company with twenty employees providing care to patients in their homes. Staff check in on their phones as they make their home visits. The two directors deal with missed check-ins, thus saving on the cost of external monitors.

When the directors are busy in meetings or on phone calls they are reassured to know that missed check-ins will roll over to the Ok Alone call center, who will action them according to LM’s safety checklist. LM switch to live monitoring when the office is closed and the directors are only disturbed when it’s urgent.

Municipality manages manages remote workers in a variety of situations

BC is a municipality that employs staff from various departments working alone. BC likes Ok Alone because they can contact staff on different equipment and handle missed check-ins in the best way for that worker.

BC opted for check-ins on landlines forjanitors and night watchmen;by smartphone or SMS text for home care visitors and city surveyors. The ability to set a different escalation for each worker allowed BC to replace several worksafe systems with just one in Ok Alone, at a fraction of the cost of one of their previous systems.

Each department has a different set of monitors and escalation processes and these are different between day and night shifts. BC managers can easily change the process for each worker in their Ok Alone settings page . BC do use Ok Alone’s live operators when needed and the risk assessment carried out by each department determines when the operator calls emergency services.

Sometimes staff are required to go into a high risk environment as part of an investigation. The staff member switches on High Risk Check-in so she is monitored every ten minutes until she is clear of the risk.

Company gets much more for much less, thanks to Ok Alone

TC is a company looking for a work safe solution for its sales staff. The directors are keen to provide a duty of care to their staff. The prime driver for TC is to conform to best practice and worksafe legislation – at the lowest cost. They chose to use Ok Alone’s smartphone apps for their sales force and to monitor it themselves. The result, they now pay less to monitor their team of ten people than their previous supplier charged them for each person.

Ok Alone’s simplicity of use was the other key requirement. In a lean operation like TC, no-one has the time to fiddle with technology. Fire and go, Ok Alone could be adopted without any disruption.

With Ok Alone “smart phone” app you get personalized professional protection that includes many adaptable features such as individualized employee programing, GPS location services, live monitoring…… all at an affordable price!
