Lone worker safety solutions

Visitors to the show on 8-9th October at the Bolton Arena will be able to see live demonstrations of Skyguard’s product range, including the recently launched iPhone app, which converts the handset into a fully functional personal safety device. The app is an expansion of Skyguard’s range which includes software for Android, Blackberry, Symbian and Windows Mobile handsets, as well as analogue phones.

Skyguard will also be demonstrating the MySOS – Europe’s smallest and lightest safety device featuring GPS, GPRS, GSM and Mandown technologies. The key fob-sized MySOS, can be discreetly worn as pendant, attached to a belt or keyring, or as an ID badge using the clip-on accessory. The MySOS is also accredited to the highest industry standards; BS 8484 and ACPO’s ‘Secured by Design’ scheme.

Both the MySOS and Smartphone software enable the user to raise an alarm in emergency at the touch of button, to Skyguard’s purpose-built, 24/7, Incident Management Centre. Here, trained controllers can view the user’s GPS location and registered profile information, silently listen-in, and talk to the user if it’s safe to do so. Controllers will follow the user’s personalised emergency procedures which could include escalating to the emergency services, Skyguard’s National Response Service, or the employer’s own nominated contacts, and guide them to the user’s location.
