Protect And Locate (PAL) Tracking System (Alzheimer/Dementia/Autism)

More than 60 percent of those with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia will wander, and if a person is not found within 24 hours, up to half of individuals who wander will suffer serious injury or death. (Ref: alz.org) 

The PAL tracking system is both a tracking devise and a digital sports watch. PAL is worn on the wrist just like a normal wrist watch. The difference with PAL is that it will protect and locate your “At Risk” loved one if they wander.

Along with the digital watch/transmitter, PAL also has a portable receiver which notifies the caregiver of a wandering event through the use of GSM & GPS technologies. If an “At Risk” individual wearing a PAL watch/transmitter breaches the PAL RF Perimeter the PAL portable receiver will sound an audible alert and the LCD display will flash red indicating your loved one has wandered from the RF Perimeter you have set. PAL will generate an email alert and send an SMS (text message) with the date and location of the wandering event. For the caregiver’s convenience, PAL also has an internet portal available that is accessible worldwide from any PC or smart phone and allows for real time tracking with regular location updates.

Additionally, the PAL transmitter/digital watch has a locking feature on the band which can only be removed by using a tool provided with the PAL system.

If the caregiver presses the “find” button on the portable receiver the PAL watch will determine the location of the individual and the address will be displayed on the portable receiver. If the “At Risk” individual wearing the PAL watch/transmitter is lost and chooses to push the panic button on the PAL watch, the address will be shown on the portable receiver. Both of these events will also update the internet portal and alert emails and/or SMS text message will be sent to the caregiver.

Are You a Lone Worker?

Many companies don't realize how many of their employees - whether on contract or working full time - actually have some aspect of their job where they work alone. Working alone comes with it's own unique set of hazards and challenges, so it's important to be clear on the work alone definition and categories so your company can properly equip your staff with the tools they need to be safe.

Definition of Working Alone 
A worker is considered to be working alone if the worker works by himself or herself at a work site in circumstances where assistance is not readily available when needed.

Working Alone Categories:
  • Workers who do hazardous work away from the public, such as field service operatives. These workers may be doing checks in remote locations, working in confined spaces, or separated from other operatives by physical barriers. The hazards they face may be very high risk when including the fact that assistance may not be readily available
  • Workers who travel away from the office and interact with their customers, such as home care workers and social service workers. Employees in these situations may be at a heightened risk of experiencing violence in the workplace when interacting with new clients, or be in a vulnerable position during transportation to and from the office.
  • Workers who travel alone, but have no interaction with customers, such as truck drivers. These workers could be at risk of accidents, injury or sudden emergencies that could be dangerous if no response is given.
  • Workers who handle cash, such as taxi drivers and gas station attendants. These workers could be at risk of violence in their workplace, including threats towards their person, robberies or other dangerous behavior that would need an emergency response.
  • Workers alone in an isolated site, such as security guards. These workers are at risk of violent attack by people or animals because their site is isolated from public view or in a very remote location. They could also be subject to other accidents that would need emergency response.

Consider your staff  -  do you have any workers that could fit one of these categories? If so, a work alone safety plan is necessary.
