LONEALERT

LONEALERT was a UK provider of lone worker alarms and protection solutions, focused on helping organisations safeguard staff working alone, remotely or in hybrid roles. Its offering combined dedicated safety devices, a smartphone app and The OWL Portal management software, connecting users to an Alarm Receiving Centre for rapid response to incidents. The company presented its system as a multi-level solution, with options suited to different risk levels, job roles and working environments.

Its devices included the IDX Alert identity-card holder with tilt activation, the Twig One for higher-risk work, the intrinsically safe Twig One ATEX for designated hazardous zones, and Spot satellite devices for areas without reliable mobile coverage. Other options included Safety Watch for indoor locating, an SOS fob, Man Down X and landline or text-based access. LONEALERT also provided lone worker monitoring, training and guidance on risk assessments, workplace policies, legislation and implementation. The website states that LONEALERT has joined Peoplesafe and that existing customers have migrated to Peoplesafe’s Nexus platform; LONEALERT was expected to cease operating.
