The Ok Alone Lone Worker Blog

Ok Alone has Partnered with what3words to Help Protect Lone Workers

We’ve added what3words to our lone worker system to provide an alternative way of describing a worker’s last know location.

what3words is a simple way to identify precise locations. Every 3 metre square has been given a unique combination of three words. For example, the exact location of Parliament Hill, London can be found at ///tower.defeat.land

what3words addresses are as accurate as GPS coordinates, but easier to communicate and share over the phone or radio. It’s the simplest way to communicate a precise location to team members across the business. Learn more about how it works here: https://bit.ly/2zOA46a

Many companies and emergency services around the world are using what3words to locate people in emergencies, our integration means that any last know location for a worker can easily be translated into a what3words location.
