How Lone Workers Use Ok Alone.

With the Ok Alone system, any worker can be kept safe using this simple process.

  • Start Shift – Worker starts their shift using the app or calling/texting in
  • Check In Due – Worker must check in at set intervals
  • End Shift – Worker ends their shift when they have finished working
  • Check In Overdue – Workers have a grace period to check in after the app alarm sounds. They may also get texts and call reminders
  • Check In Missed – The monitor recieves an alert that the worker has not responded and will attempt to contact them
  • Monitors Take Action – Monitor(s) or Live Monitoring attempt to contact worker and if necessary send help to their precise location


Ok Alone offers numerous benefits to lone or remote workers, ensuring their safety and well-being. The app’s real-time GPS tracking provides precise location data, invaluable in emergencies or when lone working in remote areas. The user-friendly interface allows easy communication and status updates, including a ‘man down’ feature for unexpected incidents. High-risk check-ins can be set up for potentially dangerous tasks, and immediate help can be requested with just a tap. The app is compatible with a wide range of devices, including smartphones and voice-activated technology, making it accessible to all.

By using Ok Alone, lone and remote workers can feel secure, knowing they’re well-protected and monitored, no matter where they are.
