Reducing the risk to lone workers
April 1st 2008 The inherent risks and
dangers in factories,
construction sites and other
hazardous locations are well
recognised but, says Argyll
Telecom, the lone worker
has his/her own set of risks.
The company understands
the challenges faced by
employers of lone workers,
from logistics to legislation.
The service it offers is based
around matching client
needs with a selection of
different services and
products, delivered through
mobile and internet-based
technologies.
Tom Morton, MD, explains
"Mobile technology, the
Internet and GPS
technologies combine to
provide lone workers with
discrete and instant
methods of support.
"In our case, these are
connected to a continually
staffed alarm receiving
centre using Argyll's awardwinning
software. All related
technologies are integrated,
enabling an immediate coordinated
response with
direct links to the police and
other local support in
extreme circumstances." More articles from Argyll And The Islands Telecom Ltd: |
