OK Alone Wins Best Lone Worker App in Canadian Occupational Safety Readers’ Choice Award 

OK Alone, a trusted provider of employee safety solutions, has been named a winner in the Lone Worker Monitoring category of the Canadian Occupational Safety Readers’ Choice 2025 Awards. This recognition, voted on by members of the occupational safety community, highlights the trust and confidence that users place in OK Alone to keep their teams safe. 

Setting the Standard for Modern Worker Technology 

Lone worker protection is evolving quickly and the way companies look after their lone workers is changing faster than ever. Advances in mobile technology, paired with a deeper understanding of workplace risks, means planning for safety now goes well beyond the traditional lone working model. More and more organisations are leaving behind older, single-purpose safety devices and turning to app-based systems that run on the smartphones staff already carry every day.  

The appeal of apps is easy to see; cost, convenience, and better features. Without the need for extra hardware, businesses can cut costs and avoid ongoing maintenance. Workers don’t have to get to grips with unfamiliar devices, and because people are already familiar with their phones, using the app becomes second nature, helping businesses keep their teams safe without adding to their workload.  

That’s why OK Alone’s recent recognition matters so much—it’s proof that a well-designed app that not only meets these new demands, but can deliver powerful protection while staying practical and easy for teams to adopt. 

 What it Means to Win Best Lone Worker App 

This award is more than just a title—it’s a testament to OK Alone’s commitment to one clear mission: helping every worker get home safely at the end of their shift. Being chosen by the very people who rely on the system every day makes the accolade especially significant. It reflects years of refinement, customer feedback, and a relentless focus on delivering a safety solution that is reliable, affordable, and easy to use. 

Why OK Alone Stands Out 

OK Alone has become one of the highest-rated lone worker apps on both the Google and Apple App Stores. Its popularity is rooted in a combination of simplicity, versatility, and robust safety tools: 

• Flexible Check-Ins – Customisable check-in intervals ensure workers are monitored more closely in higher-risk situations, improving safety and response times. 

• Real-Time Location Monitoring – Get emergency help to the exact location of your people with accurate GPS location monitoring. 

• Panic/Help Alarm Button – Quickly get help in an emergency, with SOS alerts sent directly to our 24/7 Safety Monitoring Center 

• Man/Worker Down Detection – Automated SOS alerts when someone becomes unresponsive following a fall or injury. 

• Cloud-Based Dashboard – Respond and locate workers in an emergency in one centralized online dashboard. 

• Low-Cost, High-Retention – With a 99.2% monthly renewal rate and priced at the cost  of a coffee per month, OK Alone is seen as essential by our customers. 

Designed for Real-World Safety 

Dan Noblett, Co-founder and Head of Technology for OK Alone shared his gratitude for the win, “After more than 10 years of leading the development of OK Alone, I’m incredibly proud to see our team’s work recognised once again. From the start, our goal has been to keep OK Alone simple and easy to use, so it works for anyone — across industries, roles, and technical comfort levels. That focus has shaped every feature we’ve built and every improvement we’ve made. 

A huge thank you to everyone who voted for us, and to all our users and partners who push us to keep improving. We’ll continue working hard to ensure OK Alone remains the most reliable, user-friendly safety solution for lone workers everywhere.” 

Products that truly protect people are those that workers actually want to use. OK Alone’s clean, intuitive interface ensures it’s fast to deploy and simple to support, without requiring expensive, additional hardware. It integrates smoothly with existing company systems, giving businesses confidence their people are monitored without adding to their workload.  

OK Alone’s 2025 award win reinforces what customers already know: when it comes to lone worker safety, the right combination of technology, usability, and trust can make the difference between a safe return home and a tragedy. And that’s why OK Alone will continue working hard to protect workers—wherever the job takes them.
