Lightweight lone worker solution

Faced with the problem that
its 74 frontline personnel
were reluctant to use the
bulky lone worker safety
devices allocated to them,
Community Gateway
Association, a community
housing association in
Preston, looked for an
alternative solution which
their staff could deploy
without having to carry
around an extra piece of
equipment. The solution
came with Identicom, the
award-winning and ACPO
accredited lone worker
device from Connexion2,
which looks like a normal ID
badge and can be worn either
around the neck on a lanyard
or with a lapel clip.

Purchased as part of
SoloProtect, the Identicom
lone worker device with a
24/7 manned monitoring
service accredited to the
highest UK standard, BS5979
Cat II. SoloProtect provides
end user training, which has
been delivered to thousands
of lone workers.

The Community Gateway
Association is a not-forprofit
community business
set up to meet the housing
needs of people in Preston
and the surrounding area.
