A lone worker alarm system provides the ability for a worker to call for help when they’re away from colleagues or in a dangerous situation. It can also ensure that they receive the support they need in time to prevent serious injuries and death.
Some of these lone worker alarms come as standalone devices, Bluetooth buttons or bespoke apps that connect to a control unit. They are particularly useful for workers who need to work in high-risk areas or are required to handle hazardous materials.
They can be worn on lanyards around the neck and are easy to activate. They can be used by a range of staff including utility maintenance staff, realtors showing open homes, security guards and health nurses visiting patients’ homes.
The device may also feature a fall detection sensor which sends an alert when a worker falls. It can be helpful for lone workers who are working with hazardous chemicals or biohazards as it can detect and warn of falls.

They can be as simple as providing a text or phone number to report an emergency; or as complex as allowing a lone worker to leave a voice message detailing their location and current situation.

Some lone worker alarms even have a 'duress alarm system' that can be useful for situations where employees may be forced to close their alarms, and therefore a false pin is provided. This would give the impression that the alarm is stopped, when in fact it’s running silently until a manager can respond.
