How The Man Down Worker Alert Works

Whether manually or automatically, the safety alert process begins with the lone worker.

Two Types of Activation:

• ● Manual Activation – The worker presses the panic button on their device to request immediate assistance.
• ● Automatic Activation – If enabled, our optional fall detection technology identifies a sudden fall, automatically triggering an alert.

This initial trigger immediately begins the response process. The device’s built-in GPS captures the worker’s precise location, and two-way audio communication becomes available between the worker and the monitoring center.

Built-In Safety Features

• ● One-touch panic button
• ● Optional fall detection (man down)
• ● GPS tracking
• ● Water-resistant, wearable design

Once the alert is triggered, the system instantly sends a signal with the worker’s:

• ● Exact GPS location
• ● Device status
• ● Type of alert (manual or fall detection)

This information is routed through our cloud platform and simultaneously reaches:

• ● Your company’s assigned managers or safety leads
• ● Our 24/7 monitoring center team

There’s no delay, no guesswork, and no need for the worker to explain anything during a high-stress situation. Everyone involved gets real-time awareness of the emergency at work.

• 📍 Location Info + Alert The system doesn’t just notify—it equips your team with actionable data.

Your designated manager or administrator is alerted through the companion Lone Worker Executive App.

They’ll receive:

• ● A live notification
• ● The lone worker’s location
• ● Status of the alert
• ● The ability to communicate directly or escalate as needed

This allows your internal team to act immediately—whether that means contacting the worker, coordinating a response, or verifying the severity of the situation.

• ● Why It Matters:
  • Fast alerts reduce risk, improve response times, and ensure you remain compliant with lone worker safety guidelines.

Simultaneously, our trained monitoring center professionals are also notified.

They will:

• ● Attempt two-way voice communication with the lone worker via the panic button device.
  Verify the situation and determine the best course of action based on a predefined emergency response plan.
• ● Take next steps—including contacting emergency services if the situation is critical and the worker is unresponsive or in danger.

The benefit of this dual-alert system is that you don’t rely solely on in-house resources to manage emergencies. We’re always watching, always ready.

24/7 Coverage Our monitoring center is staffed around the clock—so your lone workers are never alone, even in off-hours or remote locations.

If the situation is confirmed as an emergency at work, and the worker cannot be reached or needs immediate medical or law enforcement assistance, the monitoring center contacts local emergency services.

Dispatch teams are sent directly to the GPS coordinates of the lone worker. Meanwhile, the monitoring center continues communication with the manager, ensuring that everyone stays informed during the event.

Real-World Example:

A home caregiver slips and becomes unconscious. The man down detection triggers an alert, and emergency services are sent—no button press required. The caregiver receives help in minutes.

Your managers have access to a secure, easy-to-use Loneworker.com app, where they can:

• ● Track device activity in real time
• ● View location history
• ● Receive and manage alerts
• ● Generate reports for audits and compliance

Your employees simply wear or carry their panic button device. Everything else happens automatically in the background.

Here’s a quick breakdown using the included diagram you provided:

• ● Lone Worker
  • Activates the panic button manually or through automated fall detection.
• ● Location Info And Alert
  • GPS and alert data are sent to both the monitoring center and managers.
• ● Managers
  • Receive the same alert and can act, escalate, or support based on live information.
• ● Monitoring Center
