While GPS location always works provided you’re in view of the sky, you may also have staff who need protection and are working in vast indoor spaces. Our latest blog post explains why a GPS solution wont work and what options are available.
Having GPS in your vehicles is fantastic, there are many benefits, but does this protect your lone and remote workers?
This question was asked by one of our lone workers following our last newsletter. It’s a fair question. His expectation was that we call 111, talk to the operator and the Police may or may not attend. The reality is quite different.
Many of our clients allow their staff to use their duress devices out of hours, when they’re not required for the business. If staff are tramping, hunting, biking, sailing or other activities which may be outside of cell cover, the inReach or G7X will offer protection.
If you’re currently using a lone worker app, take note of whether your app is automatically sleeping.
