Ensure Lone Worker Safety with Active Track

There are numerous jobs in today’s world—while some can perform their tasks from the comfort of their homes, others have much more hands-on projects.

Regardless of the type of work environment, one thing that shouldn’t be overlooked is the safety of the employees. Companies work day in and day out to ensure that they give their workers an injuryfree environment, but do those measures cover all of them?

Lone Workers

Lone workers are people whose jobs require them to work away from teams. The UK itself has approximately 6 million lone workers. A few examples are technicians maintaining huge machinery, emergency workers, security guards and lumberjacks.

Their jobs take them to places that isolate them, leaving them completely alone to fend for themselves should any emergency arise.

Lone Worker Protection

Lone workers face an increased threat while doing their jobs. In the unfortunate case of any mishap, there would be no one around to hear their voice or come to their aid.

Companies must aim to protect them via strategic planning and equipping them with proper training & equipment that improves their safety. We understood this & spent hours perfecting an ideal solution.

Active Track by Guard Patrol Products

Active Track is a revolutionary hand-held device that can be given to lone workers to improve their working efficiency & safety. Here are a few key features that solely focus on the safety of lone workers.

Calling

Active Track has two-way communication via a quad-band GSM/GPRS voice-enabled modem that connects to the most robust mobile signal in any area.

Using this feature, lone workers can stay in contact with their supervisor or the control room, letting them know of their whereabouts. It has a dedicated ‘Call me’ button that initiates a call-back request to the designated operator.

GPS Tracking

Active Track has live GPS tracking via an embedded GPS receiver as a backup measure when calling won’t be possible.

It works seamlessly using satellite-based tracking. When the worker comes indoors, the tracking switches to AGPS technology, triangulating data from cell towers to track the device inside any room. Lone workers have the option to send their exact coordinates to the operator using the ‘GPS’ button on the device.

Emergency Alarms

Unfortunately, accidents can happen even while taking the best of precautions. That’s why Active Track helps counter both known & unknown emergencies.

Should the lone worker face an issue in which they need immediate assistance, they can use the panic button on the device. Upon pressing, this sends an urgent assistance requirement to the designated mobile phone & personnel along with the last known coordinates of the device.

If fatigue or a sudden accident causes the lone worker to be in a situation where they cannot manually press a button, Active Track’s accelerometer kicks in. Upon sudden deviation for a long time from pre-programmed parameters, the device automatically sends a man-down alarm with coordinates, asking for support.

This state-of-the-art device is backed by Active View, a web-based reporting portal that can view & control all Active Track devices in one place. It can be used to configure each device & make an interconnected safe network for workers without a team to rely on.
