Read ArticleProtection for Farmers and Agricultural Workers
Agriculture is considered one of the most dangerous industries in the UK. By introducing a lone worker solution, farmers working in isolation can maintain contact with others, have their safety monitored continuously, and rest assured that assistance is readily available in case of emergencies.
Given the isolated nature of agricultural work, farmers often find themselves working alone in remote locations. The job inherently involves risks, with heavy machinery and large animals posing potential hazards, and the risk of injury is consequently higher than other industries. To mitigate these risks and enhance the safety of agricultural workers, the implementation of a lone worker system, such as Ok Alone, is instrumental.
There are several lone worker solutions available that facilitate regular check-ins, allowing workers to maintain communication. However, not all these solutions are as straightforward and user-friendly as a smartphone app like Ok Alone. The primary objective of a lone worker solution is to ensure the safety of all workers, allowing them to end their day knowing they’re safe and secure.
Lone workers require a safety solution that offers peace of mind – the assurance that if anything were to go wrong, someone would be alerted and help could be dispatched immediately. Lone worker solutions such as Ok Alone are simple, effective systems that connect lone workers with a supervisor responsible for monitoring their well-being. This supervisor could be another worker on-site or a staff member at a call centre.
Implementing Ok Alone can significantly improve the safety and peace of mind of those working in the agricultural industry.
