These systems include an appropriate framework of safer systems of work and health and safety procedures, supported by managed solutions involving a range of technologies and a dedicated alarm response service to facilitate management of emergency situations that Lone Workers may face. <br/><br/>The selected solution will provide DEFRA group Lone Worker Protection that includes real time monitoring and recording, smartphone app capability and a range of devices that meet specific risk activity needs, along with the provision of a dedicated 24/7/365 alarm response service to facilitate management of emergency situations.
