Lone worker app

Before StaySafe, the company relied on standard safety policies such as verbal communication, code words and workers carrying personal alarms with them when working offsite. The company found that if an incident were to happen, these safety strategies may not be as effective as desired, and they began searching for an alternative. Gallant Richardson wanted a solution that was cost effective, easy to use and implement and fit for use in both the office and remotely.

StaySafe is an app and surrounding cloud-based monitoring service which tracks a lone worker’s location via GPS and alerts their manager if an employee triggers an alert or they do not check-in within a specified time.

Tim Wade, manager at Gallant Richardson, comments: “The entire StaySafe system is very easy to use and has provided us with a great solution to make sure our lone workers are safe.

"StaySafe’s features, such as the man down alert and the tailored check-in options, allow us to monitor our workers and be available in case of an emergency. We now feel assured that we will be alerted whenever our lone workers are in need of help.

"Having a solution that was easy to implement was a priority for us so that our employees were open to making the change from more traditional methods. StaySafe definitely matched this criteria, the app was easy to download and users found the software easy to manoeuvre.”
