Lone Worker App in action

Delivery Driver Attacked

A delivery driver was verbally abused and threatened with a garden fork by a customer. The driver had already called police but activated their Peoplesafe app. The controller assessed the situation, contacted the driver’s manager, and stayed on the line with the driver monitoring the situation until police arrived.

Meter Reader Assaulted

A meter reader was assaulted and locked in a cupboard by a customer. They activated their Peoplesafe app, and the controller contacted police, providing precise location details. The controller also informed the meter reader’s emergency contacts. Police arrived and rescued the meter reader.

Estate Agent Locked In

An estate agent was working in a showroom home when they became stuck inside the bathroom. They raised an alarm, and the controller followed the escalation procedure, getting hold of the secondary contact when the first person listed didn’t answer. The agent’s manager attended the scene to rescue them.

“Peoplesafe has a history of being the ‘first to market’ and they have led the movement to specific smartphone solutions. With the Peoplesafe app, our staff can utilise existing equipment, which we have already invested in and staff are familiar with, thus reducing costs, but still retaining a high quality of service.”
Alan Pert, Security Manager
The app is easy to operate and provides staff with the reassurance that if a situation arose in which they felt they were at risk, they have immediate access to a panic alarm to summon help. The Peoplesafe service has greatly enhanced our lone working policy and procedures.”
Alan Coleman, Project Manager
“We employ a number of lone workers from Caretakers to Housing and Anti-social Behaviour Officers. We needed a system that allows a quick and easy way of identifying alarms and locations and ensures they’re acted on quickly. The Peoplesafe app provided the most ideal software and service for this.”
Myles Kaplan, Head of Estate Services

Lone Worker App FAQs

What is a lone worker app?

A lone worker app is an application that can be downloaded on smartphones designed to protect employees working alone.

The most basic function of a lone worker app is to raise an SOS alarm when the user needs help, for example if they’re in danger, suffer an injury or feel threatened.

A lone worker app is linked with a 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). When the SOS alarm button is pressed, an alert is raised in the ARC and audio communication is opened between the smartphone and the ARC Controller.

You can also use a lone worker app to set timers for specific tasks and to check in/out of the working day.

The Peoplesafe Pro lone worker app is available to download from both the Apple Store and the Play Store. Before gaining access to the app’s features, your employer will need to have purchased a subscription.

Yes – the app can be paired with the Apple Watch so you can call for help without accessing your iPhone.
