A lone worker can work safely without the support of colleagues, even when working near hazardous gases, for example. You achieve this by renting the right equipment in the field of man down systems, personal alarms and gas detection options.
Standard functions
When we talk about the equipment needed for lone working, there are a number of standard functions that are effectively indispensable. Motion detection is a good example of this, as are positioning via GPS and options for wireless communication. Thanks to modern technology, all these standard functions are combined in one device, known by various terms: the man down monitor, man down phone or man down system. This equipment is also available in various versions: ATEX, non-ATEX and versions including gas detection.
As mentioned, motion detection is an indispensable function. This sensor is triggered when someone falls or does not move for a longer period. The man down system then raises the alarm wirelessly so that the right assistance can be provided. In that case, accurate location determination naturally also comes in useful. With much lone worker equipment this is done via GPS, but there are also other options if GPS is not suitable. In most cases an employee working alone can also raise the alarm themselves using an emergency button.
Personal alarms for lone workers have been a speciality of ours for many years. We understand how important it is to rent the right equipment for the right situation, so we always provide you with precise advice. What is more, when renting man down systems you always benefit from calibrated and updated equipment, so you can be sure of accurate operation.
