How can Global View's InteraX Lone-Worker protect your workforce?
Between business automation and the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen an increase in people having to work alone and in turn the need to safeguard them. There are many tools out there that will help you monitor your lone workers but how do you decide which one is best for you?
As an employer, it is your duty to ensure your employees’ safety and wellbeing. You have to keep in compliance with the Health and Safety guidelines and no one can deny that keeping your employees safe is simply good business sense. It is essential for you to consider investing in the right tools to help you monitor your lone workers.
Global View’s InteraX Lone-Worker is just the tool to help you with that. InteraX Lone-Worker comes with full reporting to help you protect your workforce and business. The system can provide you with the essential documentation you need to be able to ensure the safety of your staff, reduce culpability and improve lone worker activity. It is fully equipped with the tools you need to keep your workforce protected.
Gathering the Essential Data
Interax Lone-Worker’s full reporting ability will record essential information such as worker activity, who was involved, when and how your lone workers were activated. The system ensures that you continuously have the right information to deliver to the right person at the right time. Accidents happen but when they do, Interax will ensure you have the right information to make the right choices and contact the right people to bring your workers to safety. The system will give you a full audit trail to help you reduce culpability and see trends that can help you improve lone worker efficiency.
Checking in and Making Schedules
The system helps add that extra level of security by allowing you to check in with your employees at regular intervals. Even when you are using communication devices with no display, InteraX will ensure your messages are relayed in real-time by converting alert outputs into voice notifications. No need for an equipment overhaul, InteraX Lone-Worker is sure to complement whatever radio suits your needs.
Those who are in the transportation industry or working in a factory understand how important it is to know the location of their workers. InteraX Lone-Worker gives your employees the ability to check in regularly and give you information on when they arrive at a job and when they finish. With InteraX Lone-Worker, you will have the ability to place your workers into secure lone worker mode and only you or the control room can disable this mode. You’ll have full visibility of the handsets that are on and off, giving you the power to keep track of who’s taking what jobs and how long. Set a series of pre-determined key risk periods and the system will automatically activate your handsets into lone worker mode when the time comes. That means you have more time to focus on the essentials, this feature may be small but it can save you heaps of time.
Raising the alarm
Sometimes accidents happen and during those times, you need to make sure you’re making the right choices. It gives a morale boost when your employees know that their safety and wellbeing are being considered. The use of alarms can provide them with some peace of mind knowing help is only a push of a button away.
During an emergency, you might find yourself panicking and too frantic to use your phone to call emergency services. That’s why InteraX is designed to instantly notify everyone or your monitoring team of an alarm being raised at the push of a button. An alarm is also instantly raised when an employee becomes unresponsive to the ‘alive checks’ the system periodically sends out. This way you can act to ensure your staff’s safety without being told, as them being unresponsive can be a sign that an accident might have happened. These features are designed to keep you and your workforce safe.
Putting InteraX Lone-Worker to The Test
Imagine your team is currently working within a construction site and have recently implemented the InteraX Lone-Worker software. Your day is going along just fine, you’re managing your team and assigning their tasks. You know who, where and when a job is allocated and completed. Then you see an alarm is raised by one of your workers.
With the help of the system, you have access to who has raised the alarm, where they are and what job they’re doing. With all this information in mind, you will be able to assess the situation and decide on the most appropriate course of action. Additionally, you’ll have access to the control room which allows you to see who is closest to them to check whether the alarm is false or genuine and if emergency services are needed.
Time is of the essence during scenarios like this. A fire can spread very quickly. Faulty equipment can be a hazard that can do a lot of damage. One wrong decision can be costly. Having InteraX Lone-Worker can really be a difference when it comes to having the right information being relayed to the right people to make the right choices.
