What is a Lone Worker Pendant

Lone worker pendant is a safety device that enables lone workers, especially those who work in dangerous situations and environments, to call for help if they feel unsafe or are having an emergency.

- GPS Locating: The lone worker pendant uses satellite GPS to determine its location, and it then sends that information to pre-defined contacts via text message. This means the person can be tracked down quickly and accurately, even if they have been out of touch for some time or are travelling in areas with poor mobile coverage.

- GEO Fence: The pendant can be set up with a GEO fence so when the pendant leaves its predetermined boundaries (or breaches them), all of the people it is programmed to contact are notified by SMS. This is very useful for ensuring contractors are not allowed into restricted areas or for knowing that someone has been wandering out of a property they are not supposed to be in.

- Fall Detection: The pendant has an in built "man down" or fall detector which sends a “fall alert” to pre-programmed contacts when it senses a fall. This is particularly important for lone workers who work with hazardous materials.

A lone worker pendant is an essential tool for any employer who wants to ensure that their lone employees are safe, even in potentially hazardous situations. For example, utility technicians and property inspectors may be at risk of physical harm or assault while working in communities or visiting customers’ properties or homes.
