How it works

The SoloProtect Alarm Receiving Centre (or "Monitoring Centre") handles all of the lone worker alarms generated by SoloProtect users in the UK. Our highly-trained operators are ready to listen in to alarm calls, verify the seriousness of the incident taking place and initiate an appropriate response e.g. sending the emergency services to the worker's location and/or notifying a manager or colleague of the incident.

After a Red Alert is raised, our experienced operators are listening in just 4 seconds

Can alarm calls be directed to a manager rather than the Alarm Receiving Centre?

No. Our 24/7/365 Alarm Receiving Centre is a very important part of our service to customers. Our operators and systems are equipped to quickly deal with high pressure situations to ensure the best possible outcome. But, we can escalate extremely quickly to your managers, internal security team or health and safety team.
