With the publication of the 2016 Help Great Britain Work Well Strategy we are seeing a renewed focus brought to occupational health and safety and lone worker protection in the UK. This document outlines new goals and strategies for protecting and supporting workers and aims to streamline health and safety processes so that they function better, rather than just increasing in number.

You already understand that a well protected workforce is a valuable asset, and that workers who feel that you care about their safety are happier and more productive, but you still need to be able to afford their protection.
Fortunately, modern technology is on your side. Lone worker monitoring and protection systems have come a long way in recent years and can vastly improve your safety processes, at a reasonable cost.
Ok Alone can help you take that broader ownership of your worker’s safety with our affordable lone worker protection system. And our system compares very favourable with our competition, offering flexibility, management control and all of the features you need – you can learn about how we stack up against competitors in our Lone Worker Safety Monitoring Comparison Guide.

The Ok Alone team writes informative articles about lone working. Through our articles, we aim to educate readers on the benefits and best practices of using our lone worker app, and how Ok Alone can help mitigate risks and enhance communication between workers and monitors. Learn about other areas including legislation, risk management, and legal compliance plus lone worker features such as man down, high-risk check ins and location monitoring.
