Empowering Lone Worker Protection

Your team's safety should always be the top priority. Ensuring the security and well-being of workers is crucial in every industry, particularly in remote locations or for those tackling minor repairs alone. Protecting these dedicated workers is not just essential; it is a responsibility supported by cutting-edge technology.

Recent research from Berg Insight forecasts that the market for lone worker protection solutions and services in Europe and North America will expand from £100 million in 2016 to a remarkable £220 million by 2021. This growth reflects a strong commitment to employee safety.

Key drivers for this expansion include stringent occupational safety regulations, rising employee insurance costs, and a growing awareness of the unique risks faced by lone workers. More and more countries are adopting regulations specifically aimed at enhancing the safety of these vulnerable workers.

Many subcontractors work independently—think roofers, electrical technicians, and utility workers who often perform repairs alone. Ensuring their safety is not just critical; it is essential for their peace of mind and the integrity of your operations. This is precisely where innovative technology makes a difference.

Lone workers increasingly rely on sophisticated GPS devices with alarm buttons and smartphone apps that can dispatch alerts instantly. The app segment has significantly outpaced the device segment since 2016 and continues to grow rapidly. With the strengthening of legislation in Western Europe and select areas in the U.S., many new clients are adopting lone worker safety solutions, particularly within the private sector. Both dedicated devices and smartphone applications are poised to thrive in the market for lone worker protection services, given the diverse risks associated with solitary work across various professions.

As of the end of 2016, the adoption of monitored lone worker protection services utilizing unattended devices and smartphone apps was still quite low, estimated at just 2% in Europe and America. However, even in leading markets like the U.K., the penetration of monitored services has only reached about 5% of the total lone worker workforce. The development of tailored solutions for isolated worker protection is critical to ensuring the safety and security of contractors in the field.

Employers have a legal and moral obligation to protect the safety and well-being of their lone workers from all forms of abuse—physical and verbal alike.

At London Lone Worker Solutions, we are dedicated to providing robust global lone worker solutions. If you or your employees operate in remote, international, or potentially volatile environments, you deserve an immediate response should any issues arise.

The Health and Safety Executive (H.S.E.) defines lone workers as individuals "working alone without close or direct supervision." This designation doesn't imply complete isolation; rather, it refers to workers who often find themselves without frequent interaction with colleagues. Therefore, international lone workers are at increased risk of accidents or violence.

Whether your teams are stationed indoors in expansive warehouses, working outdoors at complex construction sites, or traveling in remote areas, Spetsnaz Security International, Ltd. has engineered and manufactured the optimal emergency response solutions tailored specifically for your international lone workers.

Spetsnaz Security International, Ltd. provides cutting-edge safety response systems across a multitude of industries, serving crew members, operators, supervisors, and engineers, regardless of their location.

Indoor Facilities: A Safe Working Environment

Manufacturing warehouses, correctional facilities, grain terminals, wastewater treatment plants, and power plants can pose serious dangers to employees, at times extending even underground. It's vital that safety measures are in place.

Your teams often work against tight deadlines, navigating noisy, fast-paced, high-risk, and high-stress environments that require extended hours away from the visibility of supervisors and peers. In such scenarios, these employees become international lone workers, isolated from critical support and vulnerable if an incident arises.

We provide proactive and flexible lone worker services monitored and managed from our 24-hour Gold Standard N.S.I. accredited Alarm Receiving Centre (A.R.C.), ensuring your workforce is protected around the clock.
