Customer Viewpoint"I was impressed with the customer service and support following a recent situation where I used the Red Alert. I was immediately called following itsconclusion, and the advisor was able to recount what had been heard, and checked that I was not only safe, but felt reassured as well.”

ASB Officer at Sovereign Housing Association

"As a driver delivering to our stores at all times of the day and night, you can sometimes encounter situations that can leave you feeling isolated and alone. The Identicom gives us peace of mind that if a situation does arise there is always someone there ready to listen, monitoring our safety and wellbeing, and escalating any situation to the emergency services as appropriate."

Emergency Services

We make working alone saferWe are constantly trying to improve our services by focusing on what we, and our customers,believe is vital in any lone worker solution. So we have created ‘Our Promise’, which is a commitment to our customers. We see this as an essential part of keeping you safe and delivering the greatest benefit and service to you.

OURPROMISE

FASTESTThe fastest possible escalation for your lone workers.

In a genuine Red Alert situation, every second counts for your lone worker. SoloProtect ensures a discreet alarm call is made immediately upon button press – connecting that call is our first priority (not all lone worker devices do this). We record, listen and assess, often within seconds, then escalate an incident appropriately. We keep you the employer, updated and provide a full, written report after the incident has been resolved.

HIGHESTWe actively encourage the highest possible level of usage by your lone workers.

We promote every-day usage to our customers – we want SoloProtect to be an intrinsic part of your staff‘s dynamic risk assessment, not just a button to press when a user is in trouble. We work with clients to promote regular usage of the solution – it’s a fully inclusive service, so we support you to maximise the value of your investment. Lower cost solutions don’t come with this level of support and so daily usage rarely happens, a waste of your money.

SMARTESTAn array of training options for your team and customer support, free of charge.

Delivering class-leading lone worker training and ongoing support, with your staff in mind. At SoloProtect, training is not an afterthought, it’s an integral part of integrating the solution with your staff and policy. We train your users face to face or via the web, using qualified trainers with materials specifically designed to deliver the knowledge your lone workers and their managers need. We won’t charge you for training – we want you to have the best customer experience, and maximise your value. Our support team is there for your users throughout the life of your SoloProtect contract, not just at set-up. A friendly, helpful voice is only ever a phone call away.

Improving the safety provision for your lone workers

It is false to assume that working alone is illegal, or a practice that automatically places an employee in danger. As long as lone working is carried out safely, it can bring economical benefits and allow for greater flexibility. Therefore, it is essential to fully understand any risks lone workers face and if required, counteract these through solutions from SoloProtect.

Lone workers can find themselves in a more isolatedwork environment. This can make them morevulnerable to receiving insufficient help in case ofaccidents or medical emergencies (environmentalrisk), or should they face verbal abuse or physicalattack (social risk).

Factors that increase environmental risks for lone workers: - Working in isolated or remote areas - Handling dangerous goods or materials - Working at height or with machinery - Adverse weather or difficult terrain

Factors that increase social risks for lone workers: - Substance abuse by clients and within the public - Working at night or outside normal hours - Handling high-value goods - Meetings that involve complex social needs or situations - Home visits or working within the community

AboutLone

Working

Laws and regulations

It is a legal requirement* for employers toacknowledge their duty of care to staff, whilstensuring that measures are put in place to protectthe safety and wellbeing of workers. This alsoapplies if the employees are not working on thebusiness premises. Risk assessments will help identify potential hazards within each role, of which the employees should be informed.

Criminal legislation, such as The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007, relates specifically to a business deemed to be responsible for the death of an employee due to an aspect of, or failing within their processes or operations. If successfully prosecuted, an organisation can expect a fine of at least several hundred thousand pounds.

Currently, the Sentencing Council is reviewing guidelines for health and safety and Corporate Manslaughter offences. In a consultation document issued November 2014, the council is looking to create clear guidelines to promote clarity and consistency in regards to charges imposed on organisations and individuals.

Under the proposed changes, it is expectedthat fines will increase significantly in accordancewith the firm’s turnover. The new guidelines on sentencing are predicted to be published by the end of 2015.

Lone worker safety solutions, such as SoloProtect,can help form a significant part of an organisation'sduty of care.

*Health and Safety legislation in the U.K. is enforced by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

Combining safety for lone workers withsimplicity and transparency for managers

Mobile Workforce Management combines the safety benefits gained bydeploying either the Identicom or the Identicom mobile with the additionaladvantage of managing a mobile workforce through an online portal.

Through being able to view the location of lone workers, managers can bettercoordinate their staff or allocate jobs or tasks to team members. This can improve the efficiency of operations, while workers can reduce the reporting burden through greater sharing of information, increased visibility and automatic notifications being sent to personnel. Personal dashboards can help to keep track of the activities/ job completion of lone workers and allow to easily monitor important developments at a glance.

The creation of a shared platform across the workforce can support the feel of community of lone workers within a company through being able to share information, pictures or risks with other members of the organisation. Also, SMS or Voice SMS can directly be sent out through the platform to the workers.

Mobile Workforce Management in conjunction with Identicom or Identicommobile can hence help to contribute towards the duty of care to your lone workers and increase efficiency and productivity.

Mobile Workforce Management is available in three levels:WorkSafe:Keep an overview of your lone workers and communicate through the platform.WorkSure:Also allows for NFC scanning if a job is completed for more transparency and easeof reporting to customers and managers.WorkSmart:Keep in touch with your workforce, communicate and allocate jobs to your workers.
