Whether your daily work takes you into the field, inside large facilities or complex underground work environments, assurances that someone—anyone—knows where you are at any given time allows you to do your job with confidence and peace of mind.
But are manual check-ins or the buddy system enough? Do satellite pucks provide your team with the right automatic detection capability or work indoors?? You may find yourself questioning these very topics as you scale the side of a building, operate heavy-duty machinery or complete survey work in a remote locale.
PREPARATION IS HALF THE BATTLE
When something happens and your protective equipment and safe work practices aren’t enough, how fast will an emergency response team arrive to help you when you’re working alone?
Preparation—including PPE, training, procedures and mitigation—has made a big impact over the years. You need a confident solution to empower your organization to respond to your precise location when an incident occurs. Your optimized emergency response can make a difference when seconds count.
While some employees fear breach of privacy, lone worker monitoring technology is designed to track their safety—not the length of their lunch breaks or how long it takes them to drive between sites.
PRIVACY
With the emergence of technology in the workplace, an ever-increasing mobile workforce and a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) culture, employees can be nervous about confidentiality—left wondering, “Is this a breach of my privacy?”
Because there were nearly 5,000 fatal workplace injuries in the United States in 2014 (a 2 percent increase from the previous year), implementing new programs with your safety in mind should be your organization’s top priority.
But implementing safety-monitoring technology does not mean your privacy should—or will—be breached.
The bottom line is your company should have a strategy in place to respond rapidly, without breaching your privacy, if you or one of your colleagues suffers a safety incident.
While heavy investments in personal protective equipment, processes and policies are valuable, when a safety incident occurs—for that specific individual—that investment has failed.
You need to manage the most efficient emergency response possible. Are your current safety investments effective and capable of helping your employees in need—in the fastest possible timeframe?
