Protecting your Lone Workers with Man Down/Worker Down

Our new Man Down app feature helps keep your lone workers even safer. The man down feature in the smartphone app monitors a lone worker’s movement. This notifies a worker’s monitor if there has been no movement within a set amount of time (3 minutes – 1 hour, time set by the worker).

If no movement is detected the app using man down will sound a man down alarm alerting the worker that there has been no movement. If this alert is not responded to by the lone worker, then a man down alert will be escalated to the allocated monitor and they will contact the lone worker. If there continues to be no response, then the escalation procedure will be followed to ensure the lone worker is reached.

The helpful man down alarm/reminder sent to the lone worker first when the system detects no movement, means there will be less false alarms sent to the monitor or the call centre.
