Editing How a Man Down Alert Can Save Lives

Man Down Alert<br /><br />Under the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, employers are legally obliged to ensure that their workers are safe from falls, and that they are provided with assistance as soon as possible if they fall. Providing a Man Down Alarm to your employees can help you fulfil these obligations and save lives.<br /><br />Identify and address fall risks<br /><br />Many workplaces are located above ground level, including building sites, warehouses, offices, construction zones and client homes. Having workers regularly working at height puts them at risk of falling and suffering serious injuries or even death.<br /><br />Man Down Alarms are a great way to protect your employees and keep them safe from harm when they are out on site or traveling alone. They can be used for any lone worker in high-risk or mobile roles, such as builders, surveyors, window cleaners and roofers, community services (social workers, nurses and carer's assistants), or public-facing roles like retail, hospitality or security.<br /><br />A pre-alarm is activated, accompanied by a beeping or vibrating sound, which lasts for about thirty seconds to attempt to gain the lone worker's attention and encourage them to check their device. If the lone worker doesn't cancel this pre-alarm, their device will automatically raise a Man Down Alarm.<br /><br />Send an emergency alarm with voice<br /><br />When a man down sensor detects a fall or impact, a Man Down Alarm will launch a TWIG SOS cycle and call the nearest monitoring centre to request immediate assistance. This can be a quick and effective way to get help to your vulnerable lone workers, saving lives. [https://loneworkerdevices.co.uk/ UK Lone Worker Alarms]
