Lone Worker

Our Lone Worker Section members specialise in providing an accredited service that supports people 24/7 when they are working alone. If an employee cannot be seen or heard by a colleague, they are lone working – whether that is for all or just part of their working day. It is estimated that up to 8 million people in the UK are lone workers.

People working alone can also face environmental risks that can place them in danger. A Man Down Alarm (often referred to as an "Incapacitation Alert", "Person Down Alarm" or "Man Down Alert") is part of a lone working solution that provides a quick emergency response if a Man Down Device senses the user has suffered a slip, trip, fall, attack, health issue, or has become immobile for any other reason.
