Imagine working a late-night shift, alone in a dimly lit hospital wing, patrolling a deserted warehouse, or carrying out a home visit at a property where the tenant is renowned for aggressive behaviour. In such scenarios, the need for immediate assistance can mean the difference between safety and danger. This is a daily reality for thousands of lone workers in the UK.

While traditional safety measures like CCTV cameras and emergency protocols are important, technological advancements have introduced a new level of discreet protection, often concealed within the most unsuspecting objects.

SoloProtect’s lone worker safety solution ingeniously combines the functionality of an identity badge with a discreet safety device. At first glance, it appears to be a standard ID badge, displaying your name, photo and position. However, hidden on the reverse is a powerful tool for ensuring the safety and well-being of lone workers.

How does the SoloProtect ID badge work?

SoloProtect's ID badge incorporates an emergency button discreetly positioned on the back. In times of distress or emergency, the wearer can discreetly activate this button, sending an immediate Red Alert to an Alarm Receiving Centre. This action triggers a rapid response, with trained professionals ready to assist and dispatch emergency services if necessary.

The beauty of this design lies in its subtlety – to an outsider, it simply looks like an ordinary ID badge, ensuring that the wearer can call for help without drawing attention to themselves or escalating potentially dangerous situations.

How can the SoloProtect ID badge be worn?

Versatility is another key feature of SoloProtect's safety device. The user’s standard ID card simply slots in the front of the device, and it can be worn in multiple ways, adapting to the preferences and requirements of different work environments. Whether it's hanging from a lanyard around the neck or securely fastened to a belt clip, the ID badge remains easily accessible, allowing the wearer to summon assistance with minimal effort.

Reliable connectivity

SoloProtect's safety badge is equipped with a roaming SIM card, to ensure seamless connectivity. This reliability is crucial in emergencies, providing peace of mind that help is just a button press away.

Comprehensive benefits

The benefits of integrating safety features into everyday items like ID badges extend beyond just lone worker protection. Employers also benefit from knowing they've equipped their staff with a reliable safety net, fulfilling their duty of care obligations and fostering a culture of safety and well-being.

Moreover, workers who already carry an ID badge for identification purposes or to access premises do not need to remember to take a separate safety device with them during their working day or shift. It’s an all-in-one solution.

Why choose an ID badge to keep your workers safe?

SoloProtect's innovative approach to workplace safety demonstrates how even the most commonplace items can play a pivotal role in ensuring the security of lone workers. By seamlessly integrating safety features into an ID badge, we've provided a discreet yet powerful tool for summoning assistance in times of need.

As technology continues to evolve, solutions like these remind us that safety doesn't always have to be loud and conspicuous – sometimes, it's the quiet, unassuming devices that make the biggest impact!
