Lone worker protection (LWP)

Enhance lone worker safety and ensure rapid response to incidents.

Lone workers face increased risks when operating without immediate assistance.

With Team on the run, protect your field teams with a reliable solution that combines emergency alerting, real-time location tracking and secure communications, helping organizations improve employee safety and support regulatory compliance.

What is a lone worker?

Alone worker is an employee who performs their duties alone, without immediate assistance available in the event of an incident. This situation affects professionals across many industries and high-risk environments, where dedicated lone worker protection solutions (LWP) are essential.

Working alone is not inherently dangerous. The real risk arises when there is no fast way to raise an alert or receive assistance when something goes wrong.

The challenges of lone worker protection

Protecting lone workers is a strategic priority that directly impacts employee safety and operational continuity.

Human and operational risks

Lone workers may face critical situations such as accidents, medical emergencies or incidents without anyone nearby to assist them. They can also encounter difficulties raising an alarm or being located quickly, particularly when operating in high-risk environments.

Without an appropriate lone worker protection solution, detection and response times increase significantly, leading to greater human and operational consequences.

Employer responsibilities and regulatory compliance

Protecting lone workers is a key employer responsibility. Organizations must implement appropriate measures to ensure employee safety and comply with applicable health and safety regulations. Lone worker protection solutions support these obligations by enabling real-time alerting, incident monitoring and full alert traceability.

Financial and operational impact

Beyond the human consequences, incidents involving lone workers can result in significant costs for organizations, including lost productivity, compensation claims, operational disruptions and business continuity challenges.
