Lone worker apps market on the rise

Figures are estimated to hit 260 million by 2022 across Europe and North America, a huge increase from the 110 million recorded in 2017. There has also been a noticeable rise in the number of users using GPS and cellular technology protection services and numbers are predicted to grow from 500,000 in 2017 to 1.1 million by 2022.

With the rate of technological advances continually rising, safety solution companies are maximising on the efficacy and appeal of smart devices.

StaySafe has been specifically developed with lone worker’s safety in mind, features have been designed to combat a range of different incidents that could potentially arise in lone working environments.

The discreet panic option allows employees to discreetly send an emergency alert when in a dangerous situation. Check in alerts can be sent without a WiFi or data connection.

StaySafe have also created features to detect when an employee has not moved for a prolonged amount of time. Once man down has been activated an alert is automatically triggered to let the employer know an accident may have occurred.

A wearable device can be paired to the app and used to quickly and discreetly perform a check-in or panic, for situations where lone workers may be unable to access their phone
