In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of lone workers and remote workforces. Whilst this trend has brought many benefits to businesses, it has also created new challenges when it comes to ensuring the safety of workers. Lone workers and remote employees face a unique set of risks that need to be addressed in order to maintain their safety and well-being.
What kind of risks do lone workers face?
Lone workers are individuals who work alone or without direct supervision, often in remote locations or outside of normal working hours. As such, they face a range of unique risks that can compromise their safety and well-being. Without the support of colleagues or supervisors on site, lone workers may be vulnerable to accidents such as slips, trips, and falls, which could result in serious injury or even death. In addition, lone workers may be at risk of violence or aggression from members of the public, hazardous materials, and they could face medical emergencies that may require urgent assistance.
One of the biggest dangers that lone workers and remote employees face is the lack of immediate assistance in case of an emergency. This is where Mobile Tornado’s push to talk over cellular technology comes in. This technology allows businesses to keep track of their employees and increase their safety, no matter where they are working.
How can Mobile Tornado help?
Mobile Tornado’s dispatch console and push-to-talk over cellular technology provide real-time emergency alerts, accurate location reporting, and a two-way messaging system, allowing users to instantly send and respond to alerts in the event of an emergency. As soon as an alert is sent, a line of communication is opened, and the location of the device is displayed to pre-determined recipients, enabling help to be sent quickly. The live conversation is also recorded, providing an audit trail of events.
One of the most impressive features of Mobile Tornado’s technology is its man-down technology. This feature allows an alert to be sent to the dispatch console when a fall or impact is detected by the device. The alert can include both audio and visual notifications. After a predefined period, the user receives an audio warning, and a countdown is triggered. If the user does not stop the countdown, an alert is sent to the dispatch console, and assistance is sent if required. Nearby workers will also be notified that a man-down alarm has been triggered, and the live conversation is recorded.
