iPads monitor lone workers

To better meet their duty of care to their lone workers and accurately monitor their safety Altwood have migrated their lone worker safety provision to StaySafe Business. 

StaySafe Business is an app and surrounding cloud-based monitoring service which tracks a lone workers location via GPS and alerts their manager if they do not check-in within a specified time. The app works on iPhone, Android and BlackBerry and offers a wide range of functions including a panic button, working session expiry and low battery warnings, GPS tracking, inactivity and duress alerts. If an employee activates the app’s panic button or fails to check in, alerts are automatically triggered on screen and via text and email, allowing an employer to take immediate action.

Altwood undertake the monitoring of their employees in-house via an online hub but monitoring can also be outsourced to Securitas who offer 24/7 monitoring and response services. Although the StaySafe app is most commonly used on smartphones, employees at Altwood Group successfully run the app on their work tablets.
