Lone Worker Safety Devices

Lone workers are a large part of the global workforce and face numerous health and safety risks. Employers have a duty of care to ensure that these employees are safe and supported while on the job. This could involve providing relevant personal protective equipment, issuing lone worker safety devices or running health and safety training programs.

The best lone worker safety devices are a mix of technologies and features that meet the unique needs of each lone worker in your organization. For example, a device can provide fall detection, a no-motion alert, or GPS tracking to detect whether an employee is in danger of falling, working at heights, or missing a shift.

Wearable Safety Devices

Often worn as wristwatches or lanyards, wearable safety devices such as the Bivy Stick with SafetyAware are a popular choice for workers who want to be visible and hands-free while working in remote locations.
