Lone Worker Safety

[mavhc]

I think the OP wanted to know of people who actually have a system in place, why do you keep proposing weird solutions you haven't tried and taking the conversation off topic???

 

Because it's interesting, why else would anyone do anything? Apparently no one has used a system as they've not responded, so the alternative is no one replies to the thread, and it fades into the past.

 

Specifying the requirements and debugging them is the first stage of any query, find out what you don't know. Second stage is estimating what the cost should be, third stage is evaluating solutions.

Been on training for my new job today and this topic came up, they have lots of staff in the community in some dodgy places and had spent 10's of thousands on different systems over the years which all were scrapped and local teams now have different systems that work for them i.e. What's App groups, calling the office and saying going to place A expect to be 30 mins and will call in then. All which have much better take up with staff and costs next to nothing. Some use Teams and communicate which each other on that.

That's interesting. I guess when it's something that staff would have to use routinely day in, day out, but which may never actually be called into action, staff take-up is going to be a fragile thing.

That staff where I am wasn't utilising and many issues stopped the specific lone working device use and changed to to local team and they got a better response for it. Obviously everywhere is different though.
