Keep your employees safe when they are working alone.

The safety of your employees is paramount, especially for those who work by themselves without close or direct supervision.

What is Lone Working?

Lone working refers to situations where an individual works alone without direct supervision or immediate access to assistance or support from others. It can occur in various industries and job roles, such as healthcare, security, construction, and remote or field work. Lone workers may face unique risks and challenges, including accidents, emergencies, or potential security threats.
