App helps keep lone workers safe

Working together comes with inherent hazards, but now there’s an app that mitigates those risks. ProTELEC CheckMate is already used to protect thousands of employees working alone in multiple industries.

The app is easy to use, flexible, and a cost-effective solution for employee safety, according to the company. No hardware or software to buy, employees just need access to their phones.

The app calls or texts workers based on their schedule and can be easily customized. It also generates an alarm if it fails to respond to safety checks. The lone worker safety monitoring app and service is integrated with the ProTELEC monitoring center.

Apps can be activated or deactivated with the tap of a button. Check-in times and schedules are clearly indicated in reminders sent to employees via pop-ups or text messages. The frequency of these check-ins can be changed and adjusted as needed, allowing flexibility in unpredictable situations.

This app helps track workers in the field and is available in map view. It also monitors all activities and provides audit reports that employers can keep in their company records.

CheckMate Working Alone provides employers with both services and operational systems that enable compliance with local lone labor regulations across Canada.
