Some know it as a lone worker app; others call it a mobile safety app or work alone system. No matter what you call it, an employee safety app can help keep field workers, technicians, and other employees safe.

The primary purpose of a lone worker system is to track a field worker's current location and activity. It removes the need for them to answer their phones and helps managers and supervisors effectively coordinate different teams across multiple sites.

While many companies spend thousands of dollars on wearable technology, our lone worker alarm comes in the form of our I.M. OK Work Alone app. With most people using a smartphone, this app is a cost-effective way for companies to track lone workers and their safety.

At Intercon Messaging, we understand the risks associated with employees working alone. With our I.M. OK application, we keep your employees in touch with the right people any time of day or night — 24/7/365.

As an example, this application eliminates unnecessary phone calls and is designed to automatically check on employees as they drive without taking their eyes off the road.

The continuous tracking feature plots employees on a map in real-time, providing accurate location assistance if they need help.

Our lone worker mobile app transforms any smartphone or tablet into a personal safety device. Designed for professionals in many industries, the I.M. OK working alone app packs high-tech features that include GPS mapping that ensures lone workers are safe while working.

The I.M. OK lone worker alarm app does not require any additional equipment. It works as an app installed on the employee’s devices, tracking their location to ensure their safety.

Who Is A Lone Worker?

Lone workers have been steadily increasing over the past few years, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A lone worker works by themselves without any close or direct supervision and cannot be seen or heard by another person.

In that manner, here is a brief listing of the types of lone workers who can benefit from a system like this:

• People who are working alone at a fixed location

• Those working separately from other people but on the same premises

• People who are working away from a corporate office

• Workers in construction, energy, repair, plant installation professionals, maintenance

• Delivery drivers, van couriers, car/bike-based couriers, and taxi drivers

• Agricultural and forestry workers

• People who work from home

As you can see, there are plenty of lone workers that require a safety solution allowing for peace of mind that if anything goes wrong, someone can send help to them immediately.
