Only for Loneworkers

People who work alone (day- or nightshifts, or self- employment) are initially on their own in the case of an emergency. That is why the safety of lone workers requires extra attention. A lone worker is someone who works out of sight or earshot of other people. Only for Loneworkers

My Bodyguard has developed a lone workers concept. The concept links a request for help to a safety worker. The request for help can be triggered manually by pressing just one or two buttons. However, if the user is no longer capable of doing a manual request, for instance while being unconscious, a request for help can also be activated automatically if insufficient motion is detected. This concept is called "man down". Only for Loneworkers

My-Bodyguard Technical Specification : Size 84x75x32 mm. Weight 165 g. Operating time 24 hour. IP Code 54 dustproof and splash proof GPS 20 channel receiver. GSM dual band 900/1800 Mhz. 2.4 Ghz transmitter / receiver ZigBit. On order EX approved. The technique

GSM Network outside buildings. My-Bodyguard uses the GSM network to send emergency calls. It is important that at all locations outside, where employees are working there is GSM coverage. The technique

GSM Network indoor. It is also important that there is good GSM network present inside buildings. If not present an offer can be made for GSM repeaters inside buildings. If the loneworker is in areas where GSM coverage is not present, in an excess of a pre-set time it will be reported as alarms. The technique

There is an important role for a good functioning central alarm service. They are leading to ensure that the request for help with all important information is send to the helpers in the field. Central Alarm Service

Reports may be transmitted in various ways to the helpers in the field. Calling multiple helpers. First send an SMS/ and then call the helpers for check. There may be a link between your alarmpost an the Central Alarm Service as an annex (software required). Central Alarm Service

For the central alarm service it is essential that the correct information is send as quickly as possible to the helpers. Outside buildings the position of the loneworkers is calculated by the use of GPS. For enclosed areas, within fences, addresses of standard maps are not good to use, the right addresses should be separately added to our database. Central Alarm Service

For the yellow shaded area is the business address “Eeftinkstraat 4”. When you request a position at the green arrow in Google Maps the address returned is “De Klomp 22”, which is the location where the red arrow is pointing.

GPS doesn’t work inside buildings. Therefore measures must be made in the case loneworkers are working in buildings. There are three different ways to do this: Central Alarm Service

1. You can use so-called Ibuttons in combination with an Ibuttonreader. The loneworker has to report where he works for every room with the IButton, then in case of an emergency the location of the last IButton read will be reported to the Central Alarm Service. Central Alarm Service

2. Data is provided showing all addresses and locations where the worker may be located in an emergency. This solution is widely used in e.g. the nursing staff. Central Alarm Service

3. You use beacons that automattically register in what room the loneworker is in the case of an emergency. Central Alarm Service

The loneworkers can send various request for help, depending on the urgency. The report with the highest urgency in activated by pressing both the red and the green button. There can be multiple ways of arranging how to react: Police Ambulance Fire department Corporate safety service Own security Colleagues Central Alarm Service

Lower emergency reports are activated by pressing only the red button. Lower emergency reports are cases like for example: being stuck in a room. There can be multiple ways of arranging how to react: Corporate safety service Own security Colleagues Central Alarm Service

The report by insufficient movement “man down”. Man Down means that a loneworker is not capable of pressing the button to sound the alarm himself. There can be multiple ways of arranging how to react : Corporate safety service Own security Colleagues First user then colleages Central Alarm Service

For a well working concept the it has to be properly organized on a organizational level. The support of the enduser (loneworker) is very important. Organizational

For the correct use proper explanation is required. Organizational

It is important the the complete concept is checked on proper use and functioning. A report will be send the person responcible for guiding the people about the theme working alone. Organizational

Thank you for your attention.
