A safety alert that doesn’t reach the right person in time is just a digital record of a failure.
Across Australia and New Zealand, fragmented safety systems create dangerous gaps in response times. Under the WHS Act 2011 (AU) and HSWA 2015 (NZ), a failure to ensure a worker can be reached during an emergency is a failure of your duty of care.
Effective communication is a legal mandate, not a feature
In Australia, the WHS Act 2011 requires PCBUs to manage the risks of remote work through effective communication systems. Similarly, the HSWA 2015 in New Zealand mandates that employers provide the necessary tools to ensure worker safety so far as is reasonably practicable.
The gap between a written policy and a reachable worker
Many organisations believe a Mobile Phone App is enough, but these fail the moment a worker enters a no-coverage zone. We consistently see firms rely on policy documents or PLBs—which offer no check-in capability—leaving them with zero visibility until a tragedy has already occurred.
Genuine protection integrates technology based on risk
True integration means deploying Mobile Phone Apps for low-risk roles and dedicated cellular wearables for those needing one-press SOS access. For high-risk or remote environments, we implement satellite connectivity or the Blackline G7X for Cellular + Satellite capability to ensure no worker is ever truly alone.
