Lone Workers

 Many people are working alone in situations where they’re often at risk from work-related verbal abuse, violence, accidents, illness or injury. 

It’s vital you’re able to monitor the safety of these vulnerable employees. According to the Office of National Statistics there are four million lone workers in the UK, and about 160 lone workers get attacked every day!

The lone worker feature requires the radio user to press their PTT button (on the side of the radio) at pre-determined intervals. If the worker does not check in at the expected time, they’re initially reminded by an audio warning on their radio. If they still do not acknowledge they’re OK (again within a set time), an emergency alarm will alert their colleagues or controller. This could be in various forms such as a pre-recorded voice message, text or an audible tone.
