A lone worker (LW) is an employee who performs an action that is carried out remotely from other employees without close or immediate supervision. This kind of staff members may be exposed to risk because there is no-one to support them
QR-PATROL MONITORING SYSTEM FOR LONE WORKERS
QR-Patrol system can be used as an excellent Lone Working solution. The system is relying on advanced mobile technology and cloud infrastructure. QR-codes or NFC tags are placed on certain areas in the protected territories and when an officer scans QR-codes or NFC tags with his smartphone, an immediate event is sent to the managing staff via a cloud server. The events vary from test, simple scan and SOS alarms to multimedia events, such as sound recordings and images. In this way, the Alarm Monitoring Center gets notified in real-time about officers’ activities and the current situation of the protected areas.
In case of Lone Workers, the major threat to cope with is being ready to face an unexpected threat like the risks mentioned above (slip, physical abuse, illness, accident, etc.) The necessity of a strict Lone Worker policy imposes the use a Lone Worker monitoring system that will facilitate the communication between Lone Workers and managing staff of the company / organization. QR-Patrol system meets this demand by means of real-time messaging and alerting via direct SOS button on the application interface.
However, what if the threat is direct and there is no time to launch the application? Here is when beacon technology is necessary and offers a crucial solution. The Lone Workers can carry a simple beacon device which incorporates a panic button. So, in case of a threat, the employee can immediately press the panic button and send a real-time SOS message to the support team.
