Lone Worker Safety for Electricians and HVAC Technicians

Working as an Electrician or an HVAC Technician can be a dangerous occupation. Workers are frequently exposed to high voltage systems, heights, confined spaces, precarious equipment and much more! One way of improving the safety of these workers is to use a lone worker safety system.

Lone working technicians and electricians require worker tracking that ensures they have round the clock safety monitoring, automated check-ins and precise GPS locations in case of emergency.

Common Utility Safety Issues and How OK Alone Helps Solve Them

Electrocution

Our Man Down feature automatically detects if a worker stops moving and doesn't respond after a fall. Monitors are instantly alerted, enabling them to respond appropriately with rapid intervention to ensure worker safety.

Weather Hazards

When working outside in dangerous conditions, workers can activate Timed Activity to schedule regular check-ins, ensuring monitors are alerted if a check-in is missed due to weather-related issues.

Low or no signal

Limited Coverage Mode activates automatically when a worker has no or low signal, enabling them to check in via SMS or a phone call. This ensures that safety protocols remain in place, even when internet or cellular data is unavailable or unreliable.

Aggressive Customers

On-site visits to homes or businesses can lead to confrontational or aggressive clients. Our 24/7 Safety Monitoring Center allows workers to discreetly alert our team, who can monitor the situation and get emergency help if necessary.

Slips. trips and falls

If a worker is injured due to a slip, trip or fall, they can use their panic button to call for immediate assistance, ensuring a rapid response from monitors or emergency services

Key Benefits for HVAC Workers and Electricians

High Risk Check In

Electricians and HVAC Technicians can adjust the time of their check-ins if they go into a higher risk situation. If there is no reponse to the new check-in notification, monitors will be alerted to investigate.

Help Button

Enable your team to call for immediate assistance with the help button. Workers can use the on-screen button directly or pre-set voice commands to alert others to an emergency situation.

Man Down Alerts

Make sure employees are protected by using the man down motion detector. Monitors will be alerted if there is no movement from the electrician or technician within a set length of time.
