CAT-6 offers a world-class range of lone worker and man down features, including location tracking, emergency (SOS) alerts, Keep Alive features manual and automatic check in, and device inactivity monitoring, among others.

Using CAT-6’s push-to-alert feature, an emergency alert and location information are sent to nearby users and the dispatch console control room as soon as the SOS button is pressed, enabling assistance to be provided. Additionally, ambient listening is available between the dispatch console controller and the employee at risk.

CAT-6’s IPRS™ system automatically records the major events associated with an emergency incident for incident debriefing and to improve organizational efficiency. The benefits include managing lone worker emergency situations, increased employee safety, faster response times, and an event audit trail.

A lone worker is an employee who works alone without close or direct supervision. Lone workers may work in a variety of settings, including remote areas, outside of normal business hours, or in hazardous environments. Some examples of lone workers include security guards, healthcare workers, delivery drivers, construction workers and utility workers.

Lone working can pose a number of risks to employees, including accidents, injuries, and health emergencies. Without direct supervision or assistance, lone workers may be more vulnerable to physical or verbal assault, and may be at greater risk of slips, trips, and falls. Lone workers may also be at risk of developing stress, anxiety, or other mental health conditions due to the isolation and lack of support they may experience.
