Pinpoints staff to within 5m
August 1st 2007

Argyll has introduced an enhanced version of its MobiCare unit.

Fully compatible with the company's range of lone worker safety solutions, MobiCare GPS provides managers with GPS location information, pinpointing staff to within 5m, and enabling them to monitor a worker's daily risk activity and confirm their safety at the end of a work day.

Also incorporating a duress function, which meets employers' Duty of Care and aids compliance with health and safety legislation, the device is a compact, simplified mobile phone that offers limited call functionality.

Suitable for a wide range of lone workers, MobiCare GPS is said to be costeffective, lightweight, simple to use and enables employees to keep in touch with up to three nominated contacts.

The company says that as the unit has limited dialling capacities, it minimises the costs normally associated with mobile phones.
