Check-In
The SoloProtect Check-In feature lets lone workers record short, time-stamped voice messages about their location, task, and any potential risks. If an emergency occurs, our Alarm Receiving Centre operators use these updates to verify alerts faster and deliver a more informed, effective response.

Why the Check-In Feature Matters
What Happens When a Check-In Message Is Used?
Identify
The worker starts a new task, arrives at a site, or enters a situation that requires risk assessment.
Record
They record a short voice message stating their name, exact location (e.g. postcode), task, and any visible or anticipated risks.
Alert
If a Red Alert or Man Down Alarm is triggered, the incident is routed to the Alarm Receiving Centre.

Respond
Operators listen to the Check-In message and use that information — along with live data — to inform their response, notify emergency services, or escalate to a manager.
