Lone Worker Protection in Education for University Staff and Students
Within universities, it is not unusual to find people working on their own. People working by themselves without close or direct supervision, where they cannot be seen or heard by others.
University lone workers require a solution that ensures they have safety monitoring, automated check-ins and a help button in case of emergencies.

Help Button
Enable your staff to call for immediate assistance with the desktop app help button. Workers use the on-screen button or help button on the taskbar to alert others to an emergency situation.
High Risk Check In
Your staff can adjust the time of their check-ins if they deem a situation to be higher risk. If there is no response to the new check-in notification, monitors will be alerted to investigate.
Missed Check In
Make sure your employees are protected by having automated check ins. This allows staff to feel safer as they know someone will be contacted and help sent if they miss their check in and do not respond.
