Omnilink Lone Worker Safety Solution
By yourself, but not alone.
A growing number of the employed work in a solo, unsupervised capacity – such as real estate agents, home healthcare workers, mail carriers, service professionals, and construction and utilities workers.
Naturally, their employers want to make sure they stay safe. Because the reality is many of these solo workers are vulnerable to attack, abuse, or other potentially dangerous situations on the job. Generally speaking, they are usually caught off guard when these events happen and aren’t prepared to get help.
What lone workers out in the field need is a system that lets them retain their autonomy, without sacrificing their safety.
The Omnilink Solution
Omnilink has developed a safety application that “stays out of the way” of your employee’s daily work processes – but is immediately there at the very first sign of potential danger. Here’s how it works:
First, the application is loaded onto your worker’s smartphone—it is designed for any smartphone running Windows Mobile 2003, Windows Mobile 2003 or BlackBerry GPS operating on the AT&T or Sprint network. Second, the worker designates a list of responders who will help him or her in the event of an emergency.
Then, if your worker is ever in a situation where he or she feels threatened, action can be quickly taken in one of two ways
- An “SOS” button automatically sends an alert to the responder list, or…
- The “SOS” button can be set on a timer. If the timer hasn’t been disabled within a certain time frame, an alert is sent to the responder list
Alerts are sent via phone, text message or e-mail, based on the preferences set by the worker.
Rapid Response
Responders can include individuals or monitoring centers. In either case, the Lone Worker Safety application is also deployed on responders’ individual smartphones or desktop PCs. Responders can pinpoint an employee’s location at any time, simply by logging into the Lone Worker Safety application. Its GPS-based mapping technology even gives responders turn-by-turn directions to exactly where the employee is located.
Finally, there’s a field worker safety solution that:
- Gives peace of mind to lone workers
- Never hampers their mobility
- Helps employers realize stronger safety standards
