How do I as an employer create a safer environment when working alone?

Creating a safer environment when working alone is an important issue for employers who want to ensure the health and safety of their employees. Working alone can involve risks such as no one being around in the event of accidents or threatening situations. By taking a comprehensive approach to safety, employers can create a safer work environment.

Identify the risks

Start with a risk assessment of the workplace environment and tasks. Is there a risk of accidents, threats or violence? What resources are needed to manage these risks?

Training and routines

Give employees the right training and clear procedures. Training in first aid and conflict management is essential. Have procedures for reporting incidents and regular check-ins.

Create a safety culture

A safety culture means open dialogue about safety issues and continuous improvement of the work environment. Regular evaluations of measures contribute to creating a dynamic and safe working environment.

Personal alarm with man down alarm increases safety in the workplace

Sensorem’s personal alarm is specially designed to increase safety in the workplace. The security alarm has an automatic man down alarm that calls the alarm receiver with the watch’s built-in speakerphone with two-way communication. If no alarm receiver can answer the alarm call, it goes on to Sensorem’s alarm center (or other selected alarm center). The personal alarm works outdoors and has built-in GPS positioning so that alarm receivers can see the user’s position on a map in the Sensorem app. The personal alarm can be pre-programmed so that the alarms are silent for the user, which means that outsiders cannot hear when the alarm is activated.
