Protect your employees with our specialised service, whether they’re travelling for business, commuting or meeting friends after work. We can get emergency help faster than calling 999.
We know that 60% of people feel unsafe commuting on public transport during unsociable hours*. Give your staff Travelsafe to protect them round-the-clock.
Employees enter their start point, destination and how they’re travelling – just like a regular travel app.
Travelsafe calculates how long the journey should take and generates an estimated arrival time alongside a timed alarm. If your employee hasn’t reached their destination by the ETA, the alarm is activated.
Alarms are answered in under 6 seconds (on average) and handled by expertly trained controllers in the Peoplesafe Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC).
To help your people feel even safer, automated check-ins can be scheduled at set points during their journey (e.g. every 15 minutes).
The app will send regular notifications, or ‘welfare checks’ asking the staff member to confirm if they’re okay.
Staff can save important information about their journey in real time. If an alarm is raised, ARC Controllers can use these notes to make quick decisions about what help is needed.

When your employee arrives at their destination safely, the timed alarm will be cancelled automatically.
If their journey is taking a bit longer than expected, the Travelsafe app sends them a prompt to extend the timer (if safe to do so).
If the ETA expires and your employee hasn’t arrived at their destination or responded to prompts and calls, an SOS alarm will automatically be raised. The Peoplesafe ARC will respond to the alarm and get help directly to your staff member.
Based on your destination and mode of travel, an automated alarm is set for your ETA. Throughout the journey, you will receive regular welfare check-ins to make sure you’re safe. If, at any point, the response is ‘no,’ or if you fail to respond to welfare checks and subsequent prompts or follow-up calls, an SOS alarm is immediately raised to Peoplesafe’s control centre.
If you fail to reach your destination, or don’t respond to automated check-ins, the control centre will contact you to make sure you’re safe.
Once you arrive safely at your destination, the app uses your location to automatically close the timer, so that you don’t have to remember to cancel it.
