Lone Worker Protection for Security Guards and Security Companies

Working as a Security guard is a particularly dangerous occupation. On average, security officers suffer injuries at more than twice the rate of the average worker. One way of improving the safety of security guards is to use a lone worker security system.

Lone working security guards require a solution that ensures they have round the clock safety monitoring, automated check-ins and precise GPS locations in case of emergencies.

Location Monitoring

Know where your security guards are at all times with our lone worker app and GPS. See all your worker locations in the cloud-based dashboard and view the location history for each shift.

Timed Check Ins

Our timed check-ins mean you know your guard is active and safe. If there is no reponse to a scheduled check-in notification, monitors can be alerted to investigate.

Shift Reminder Alerts

Make sure security guards start and end shifts on time. Reminders are sent to guards when their shift is due to start. Monitors will be alerted if the guard does not start a shift on time.

Slips, trips, and falls

The Ok Alone app is a very useful tool employed by our security team.

It allows our officers to check-in on a regular basis, insuring their safety and allowing our supervisors to reduce physical checks, allowing them more time to fulfill other duties.
