Even with the best health and safety policies in place, incidents still happen. https://loneworkerdevices.com/gps-tracker-locator/ Slips, trips and falls are by far the most prevalent forms of injury; however attacks against lone workers, sudden illness or road traffic accidents may also arise. An Man Down Alarm ensures immediate assistance can be provided if an accident occurs by sending out digital alerts to either trusted contacts of its user, or to an Alarm Receiving Centre. Workers working at height, such as emergency service employees and decorators using ladders, are at particular risk from falls. A lone worker man down alarm would allow rescuers to reach them quickly even if they cannot contact someone themselves and call for help themselves. Motion sensors work by emitting a signal which bounces off nearby objects before returning to the sensor. When movement is detected, an alert notification is sent directly to a user's smartphone; or alternatively an alert may be sent directly to a monitoring centre if movement stops for a specified period. If a user selects to activate their alert via a dedicated button on their CareLink base unit, an emergency response call will automatically be placed to our specially equipped Alarm Receiving Centre where trained medical staff will assess the situation and offer immediate medical help - giving immediate access to assistance if required. Lone workers often work in dangerous environments that present various life-threatening threats, including falls, trips and slips as well as exposure to toxic vapours, electric shocks or assault. No matter where the worker may be working - be it at client homes, construction zones or travelling between meetings they are exposed to numerous risks that could endanger their safety. While falls are the leading cause of fatal workplace injuries, some lone workers with medical conditions such as heart conditions or epilepsy could suffer an incident without being able to raise an alarm themselves. Being able to trigger alarms that detect not only impacts but also weightlessness and non-movement can significantly help mitigate this risk. The Lone Worker Man Down Alarm sends an automatic alert to their designated emergency contacts if it detects no movement for a specified amount of time (set by the user), enabling immediate intervention by colleagues or authorities while giving peace of mind to those working alone. Many lone worker systems feature impact detection technology to enable vulnerable employees to call for help when they have fallen, been knocked unconscious or been injured - an integral component to ensure compliance with health and safety laws. Impact detection typically works through an accelerometer or Man Down sensor that will identify any changes in position, lack of movement or sudden impacts before sending an alert directly to their employer. This feature of lone worker alarm systems aims to ensure vulnerable workers do not remain isolated for too long, which could mean the difference between life and death. No matter if it be a fall, lack of movement, or impact - timers are designed to detect these situations immediately and notify appropriate people instantly - helping organisations protect lone workers while meeting legal duties of care and reducing occupational safety hazards from occurring.
