Lone worker alarms provide employees who work alone with a way to signal for help in an emergency. The alarm is triggered on a smartphone or device, and is then sent to an external monitoring station, the employer, or emergency services depending on what type of alarm was raised.
 
 The most common type of lone worker alarm is the panic alert, which is usually triggered by an easily accessible button on a smartphone or device. Panic alarms are most often used following an accident or disaster, or when a lone worker is made to feel at risk and assistance is required.
 
 Discreet panic alarms allow lone workers to trigger a panic out of sight using their phone's power button, shaking the device, or by wearing it on a discreet bracelet. Discreet alarms are a great option for lone workers who are afraid of being seen to trigger a panic alert, or who want to avoid any misunderstanding with management when confronted by a potential attacker.
 
 Man down & fall detection alarms automatically send an alert to up to 10 contacts should the lone worker fall or become incapacitated. They also come with GPS tracking and 2-way voice communication features to keep a lone worker safe.
