Man down alerts offer lifeline to lone workers
April 1st 2011 Injured or sick employees unable to
raise the alarm themselves are being
offered potentally life-saving
protection by lone worker safety
expert, Peoplesafe. Technological
advances mean that the company's
devices can integrate 'man-down'
sensors which detect if a set falls, tilts
or remains still – indicating staff
have had an accident or lost
consciousness. These sensors alert
the monitoring centre which
pinpoints the worker's location and
responds accordingly.
The 'man-down' feature is among
check, alert and tracking options
available on the Identicom, an
identity card holder, and on the
Sonim XP3 Sentinel phone,
designed for extreme environments. More articles from Rocksure Systems Ltd: |
