Ensure Lone Worker Safety with Active Track
There are numerous jobs in todays worldwhile
some can perform their tasks from the comfort of
their homes, others have much more hands-on
projects. Regardless of the type of work
environment, one thing that shouldnt be
overlooked is the safety of the employees.
Companies work day in and day out to ensure that
they give their workers an injury- free
environment, but do those measures cover all of
them?
Lone Workers Lone workers are people whose jobs
require them to work away from teams. The UK
itself has approximately 6 million lone workers.
A few examples are technicians maintaining huge
machinery, emergency workers, security guards
and lumberjacks. Their jobs take them to places
that isolate them, leaving them completely alone
to fend for themselves should any emergency
arise. Lone Worker Protection Lone workers face
an increased threat while doing their jobs. In
the unfortunate case of any mishap, there would
be no one around to hear their voice or come to
their aid.

Companies must aim to protect them via strategic
planning and equipping them with proper training
equipment that improves their safety. We
understood this spent hours perfecting an
ideal solution. Active Track by Guard Patrol
Products Active Track is a revolutionary
hand-held device that can be given to lone
workers to improve their working efficiency
safety. Here are a few key features that solely
focus on the safety of lone workers. Calling Act
ive Track has two-way communication via a
quad-band GSM/GPRS voice-enabled modem that
connects to the most robust mobile signal in any
area. Using this feature, lone workers can stay
in contact with their supervisor or the control
room, letting them know of their whereabouts. It
has a dedicated Call me button that initiates a
call-back request to the designated
operator. GPS Tracking Active Track has live
GPS tracking via an embedded GPS receiver as a
backup measure when calling wont be
possible. It works seamlessly using
satellite-based tracking. When the worker comes
indoors, the tracking switches to AGPS
technology, triangulating data from cell towers
to track the device inside any room. Lone
workers have the option to send their exact
coordinates to the operator using the GPS
button on the device. Emergency
Alarms Unfortunately, accidents can happen even
while taking the best of precautions. Thats why
Active Track helps counter both known unknown
emergencies. Should the lone worker face an
issue in which they need immediate assistance,
they can use the panic button on the device.
Upon pressing, this sends an urgent assistance
requirement to the designated mobile phone
personnel along with the last known coordinates
of the device.

If fatigue or a sudden accident causes the lone
worker to be in a situation where they cannot
manually press a button, Active Tracks
accelerometer kicks in. Upon sudden deviation for
a long time from pre-programmed parameters, the
device automatically sends a man-down alarm with
coordinates, asking for support. This
state-of-the-art device is backed by Active View,
a web-based reporting portal that can view
control all Active Track devices in one place. It
can be used to configure each device make an
interconnected safe network for workers without a
team to rely on. If you would like a trial of the
