As an employer, it is your responsibility to protect the health and safety of all your employees. Within Housing Associations, there is a range of people completing high risk tasks, often alone, including Housing Officers and Building Service Managers. With over 20 years’ industry experience, Peoplesafe is a respected and trusted name within the sector, working with over 100 Housing Associations to protect their lone and high risk workers.

Our personal safety service is accredited to the highest industry standards, including BS 8484 and BS EN 50518 as well as ISO 9001, 14001 and 27001. We work with regulatory bodies and key stakeholders to advise on updating legislation.

Trusted by housing associations to protect their staff

“We would never expect anyone to go out on to a construction site without a hard hat. Likewise, we would never send them out lone working without the most efficient personal safety device, and this is what Peoplesafe provides.”

Akash Pandya, Health & Safety Advisor, Catalyst Housing

“I cannot pin-point one thing that we find great about Peoplesafe’s service, everything is impressive, including the price. I would recommend their service to anyone who is looking at a lone worker solution. Having used other known devices in the past, Peoplesafe is by far the best one that we have used.”
