Deploying a\u00a0<a href=\"\/lone-worker-app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lone worker alarm<\/a>\u00a0across your mobile workforce can do all of this, and more.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Eliminate manual processes where possible<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Have you considered how a lone worker health and safety platform can simplify or automate your existing processes?<\/p>\n<p>Many organisations still use manual processes to manage, monitor, and report on their lone workers\u2019 activities. For example, some organisations use check-in and check-out whiteboards to keep track of their lone workers, while others require employees to SMS their managers. Let us briefly examine these examples and their pitfalls.<\/p>\n<p>Whiteboard check-in and check-out: Using a whiteboard to manage lone workers lacks accuracy, efficiency, historical data, and transparency. Challenges include difficulty in recording data, employees forgetting to check in or out, illegible handwriting, and unforeseen changes of location or activity after leaving headquarters.<\/p>\n<p>SMS the manager: Though digital, SMS is an outdated solution for lone worker safety. Firstly, SMS requires a lot of time, accountability, and responsiveness from employees and managers. It does not account for managers participating in meetings or appointments, no\/low cell service areas, or allow managers to view employees\u2019 locations in real-time.<\/p>\n<p>Implementing a <a href=\"https:\/\/sheqsy.com\/lone-workers\/\">lone worker<\/a> safety app means that you can easily monitor, manage, and report on all lone worker activities within one simple platform, eliminating all of the above safety risks and inefficiencies.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Create auditable trails and save historical data<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To ensure workplace safety and abide by government regulations, managers need clear, auditable trails to demonstrate that health and safety processes have been followed.<\/p>\n<p>Some governments also require organisations to store historical health and safety data for a number of years.<\/p>\n<p>SHEQSY makes it easy to create an auditable trail, by offering pre-start questionnaires and forms, recording all pertinent jobs, dates, times, locations, and routes, and reporting on all hazard, incident, and duress alarm events.<\/p>\n<p>SHEQSY also stores historical data for the lifespan of an organisation&#8217;s subscription. Managers can easily export data to Excel, PDF or extract it via API\u2019s for integration with their existing platforms or reporting suites.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Make responses and follow-ups seamless<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Communication between lone workers and managers should be quick, easy, and offer additional safeguards where possible.<\/p>\n<p>Often, managers have their own obligations related to client appointments and meetings, rendering them temporarily unavailable for lone worker replies and follow-ups. If a lone worker activates a duress alarm while their manager is busy, then they may not receive help in a timely manner.<\/p>\n<p>With SHEQSY, organisations can define duress alarm escalation processes so that lone workers always have access to emergency assistance. For example, when a duress alarm is triggered, the alert can be sent to SHEQSY\u2019s 24\/7 security monitoring centre and they will respond with the agreed escalation process.<\/p>\n<p>SHEQSY\u2019s in-app messaging feature also enables employees to engage in vital communication (individually or in groups) that is quick, auditable, and secure. This feature makes communication as seamless as high-risk workplaces demand.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Ensure compliance with government regulations<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As a manager, the law requires you to ensure your lone workers are properly safeguarded.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the Australian state of Victoria\u2019s manslaughter legislation states that employers who negligently cause a death in the workplace can face fines of up to $16.5 million and individuals can serve up to 20 years in prison.<\/p>\n<p>Implementing a lone worker safety app and ensuring its effective use increases the safety of your lone workers, displays your acknowledgement of the hazards and risks faced by your employees in undertaking their roles, and demonstrates you have taken reasonable steps to mitigate these hazards and risks. As an employer, this can assist you in relieving unnecessary personal exposure and liability.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Streamline your workflow<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>SHEQSY safeguards your mobile workforce and makes lone worker safety easy.<\/p>\n<p>Within SHEQSY, managers can seamlessly manage, monitor, and report on lone workers\u2019 activities.<\/p>\n<p>SHEQSY&#8217;s app not only ensures the safety of lone workers through activity timers and duress alarm functionality, but also it supports calendar integrations with Office 365, Exchange, and G Suite that enables employees to view and navigate to upcoming activities, complete forms, report hazards and incidents, communicate with colleagues, and stay engaged with their organisations.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;120px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/sheqsy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Asset-3.png&#8221; alt=&#8221;flying paper&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Asset 3&#8243; align=&#8221;right&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Section&#8221; module_class=&#8221;discover&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#171c8f&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||20px||false|false&#8221; da_disable_devices=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; da_is_popup=&#8221;off&#8221; da_exit_intent=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_close=&#8221;on&#8221; da_alt_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_dark_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_not_modal=&#8221;on&#8221; da_is_singular=&#8221;off&#8221; da_with_loader=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_shadow=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||10px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Discover how easy it is to keep your lone workers safe<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||10px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"medium\">Try SHEQSY for free now.
