Lone worker app and monitoring service

Operating across the UK, 365 days a year, Ground Control has lone workers operating within roles such as high voltage power lines, Network Rail track works, water utilities and MOD sites. 

StaySafe offer an app and monitoring service which allows an employer to monitor the location and safety status of their lone workers, while a session or alert is active. If an employee is in need of assistance, the monitor will be alerted via SMS, email and on screen.

The StaySafe app continues to send alerts and session check-ins to the hub even in areas where there is no Wi-Fi or mobile data signal, so that employees remain protected wherever they are. The ability to panic when in need of assistance was also of interest to Ground Control.

StaySafe’s phone call alert notifications allow line workers to receive notifications out of hours of a panic, missed check-in, or session expiry via a phone call. 
 
Gary Summerfield, HSQE manager at Ground Control, said: "Our employees find the app incredibly easy to use and line managers now feel they have more time to focus on other tasks while knowing they will be notified if a lone worker requires help.”
