The challenge
In many organizations, people work in isolation for long periods of time. Long-haul truck drivers, single-staffed stores, warehouse staff and maintenance teams often have no colleagues nearby if something happens. If they fall, feel threatened or have a medical emergency, help may be far away and hard to reach. This creates real risks for their safety and for your duty of care as an employer.
Our solution
Securitas Lone Worker Protection gives your employees a direct, remote connection to our Securitas Operations Center (SOC) around the clock.
Using either a Personal Protection Alarm (PPA) device or a smartphone app, lone workers can trigger an alarm with a panic button or automatically through man-down detection.
Our high-tech GPS and indoor positioning help us quickly locate the person, assess the situation and coordinate the right response.
Options
You can provide Lone Worker Protection through a dedicated Personal Protection Alarm (PPA) device or through our smartphone application.
The PPA is a portable or wearable device designed specifically for lone workers who need a robust, independent safety tool.
The smartphone app is available on both iOS and Android and uses the phone’s capabilities to deliver the same protection.
This flexibility makes it easy to match the solution to different roles and preferences in your organization.
For your business
Providing a safe working environment for your people is essential to keep your business running smoothly and to meet legal and health & safety standards. Lone Worker Protection helps you demonstrate that you take your duty of care seriously by giving employees a reliable way to call for help and by enabling fast, professional response. It also provides evidence of your investment in protecting your people, which can support compliance and protect your brand and reputation as a responsible employer.

FAQs
Here are some of the questions we often hear from customers. Didn’t find your answer?
A Personal Protection Alarm (PPA) is a portable or wearable device designed specifically for lone workers. It includes a high-tech global positioning system (GPS) to locate the user in case of an alarm. The device has panic buttons and man-down detection, so alerts can be triggered manually or automatically if it detects a loss of verticality.
The PPA is a dedicated, robust device that works independently of a smartphone and is ideal for staff who need a dedicated safety tool. The Lone Worker Application is a smartphone app available on both iOS and Android that uses the phone’s capabilities to provide the same protection. Both options connect your employees to the Securitas Operations Center (SOC) for 24/7 support.
When an alarm is triggered, our Securitas Operations Center receives the alert in real time. Operators use GPS and, where available, indoor positioning to locate the lone worker quickly. They assess the situation, attempt to contact the worker if appropriate and coordinate the right response, which can include alerting local authorities and dispatching Securitas mobile services if available and agreed.
