Improved protection for lone workers
26 Mar 2014
Castle Group has launched a new system for lone worker protection. The Loner SMD has been developed specifically to address the ever increasing threat faced by people who work alone or unsupervised.
The Loner SMD is a personally worn device that contains various personal protection features including a silent or audible panic alarm, a fall detector and a motion detector for man-down alerts.
The system will also alert when its user logs on or off the system, all which can be tracked on a simple internet portal.
In the event of an alert, the user can be pin-pointed via a map-based window on the web portal, which will also give details of the user and of the nature of the alert.
Operating over multiple mobile phone networks and with a high-power aerial, this product can send alerts even in areas of very poor mobile phone signal.
Castle Group managing director Simon Bull said: “We are really proud to be introducing this new product to the market and I believe it will really make a difference to those lone workers who face increased risks just by the fact they are working on their own.”
