Peoplesafe’s Lone Worker app transforms your phone into a personal safety device
The Peoplesafe lone worker service transforms an Android phone into a fully functional personal safety device. Certified to BS 8484:2016 – the British Standard for lone worker devices - the software is ideal for lone workers or other vulnerable individuals who do not wish to carry a dedicated personal safety alarm. Pressing the designated SOS alarm button located on the phone will send the user’s GPS location and identity to Peoplesafe’s 24-hour Alarm Receiving Centre, as well as making a voice call. Within seconds, Peoplesafe’s trained Incident Managers at the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) will take action to assess the situation and follow any established emergency procedures. The emergency services can also be summoned if and when necessary. All calls and actions are digitally recorded on secure servers within Peoplesafe’s Alarm Receiving Centre, should they be needed as legal evidence. The smartphone handset will vibrate as confirmation of an alarm being sent, when the alarm is received by the ARC, and when position reports are sent. Automatic position reports will be sent to the Alarm Receiving Centre at user defined intervals and can be sent manually by pressing the ‘Manual Position’ button from within the application. Prior to undertaking a lone working activity, users can leave a voice recorded message via the smartphone application on the Peoplesafe system to detail where they are going and who they are visiting. This is accessible to the Alarm Receiving Centre, but only in the event of an incident. A countdown timer of the estimated activity duration can be set after leaving this voice message. If the timer is not closed when the activity finishes/when the timer expires, an alarm will automatically be raised.- Integration with Reveal Body-Worn Camera to remotely trigger video recording when an SOS alarm is triggered through the application.- Wellbeing feature developed to allow users to give daily, weekly or monthly updates on their current feelings and state of mind.
