Lone workers face many of the same hazards as other workers in comparable industries. However, working alone can increase the likelihood of incidents and the severity of adverse outcomes due to the absence of immediate support during emergencies, increased reliance on individual decision making and delayed emergency response times. Lone worker mobile applications help mitigate these risks through features including real-time communication, GPS tracking, motion and fall detection, and panic or duress alerts. These technologies enable supervisors and emergency responders to act quickly when a worker is injured, unresponsive or in distress, providing an extra layer of protection for those working alone.
