The Loner M6 series offers two devices to choose from. The Loner M6 model is available for all general work areas while Loner M6i is ATEX-certified intrinsically safe for use within hazardous environments where an explosive atmosphere may exist.

Employee Safety Monitoring Technology for 2016

Whether your daily work takes you into the field, inside large facilities or complex underground work environments, assurances that someone—anyone—knows where you are at any given time allows you to do your job with confidence and peace of mind.

But are manual check-ins or the buddy system enough? Do satellite pucks provide your team with the right automatic detection capability or work indoors? You may find yourself questioning these very topics as you scale the side of a building, operate heavy-duty machinery or complete survey work in a remote locale.

PREPARATION IS HALF THE BATTLE

When something happens and your protective equipment and safe work practices aren’t enough, how fast will an emergency response team arrive to help you when you’re working alone?
Preparation—including PPE, training, procedures and mitigation—has made a big impact over the years. You need a confident solution to empower your organization to respond to your precise location when an incident occurs. Your optimized emergency response can make a difference when seconds count.

While some employees fear breach of privacy, lone worker monitoring technology is designed to track their safety—not the length of their lunch breaks or how long it takes them to drive between sites.

PRIVACY

With the emergence of technology in the workplace, an ever-increasing mobile workforce and a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) culture, employees can be nervous about confidentiality—left wondering, “Is this a breach of my privacy?”

Because there were nearly 5,000 fatal workplace injuries in the United States in 2014 (a 2 percent increase from the previous year), implementing new programs with your safety in mind should be your organization’s top priority. But implementing safety-monitoring technology does not mean your privacy should—or will—be breached.

The bottom line is your company should have a strategy in place to respond rapidly, without breaching your privacy, if you or one of your colleagues suffers a safety incident.
While heavy investments in personal protective equipment, processes and policies are valuable, when a safety incident occurs—for that specific individual—that investment has failed.
You need to manage the most efficient emergency response possible. Are your current safety investments effective and capable of helping your employees in need—in the fastest possible time frame?

IMPLEMENTING TECHNOLOGY THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Although you’re an expert in your field, you recognize the importance of staying safe in any environment, under all circumstances—especially if you are a lone worker. Lone worker safety monitoring technology is being broadly adopted by leading organizations across all industries. Employers around the globe are leveraging lone worker solutions that trigger a real-time emergency response to direct responders to the employee’s precise location—and make a difference.

Our solutions alert monitoring personnel of a safety incident, locate the employee and empower the most efficient emergency response possible.

COST OF A CUP OF COFFEE

Do you buy a coffee, tea or another beverage each day?

Our All-in-One program delivers everything needed to deploy leading safety monitoring technology for roughly the cost of a daily cup of coffee per employee.

Every employee’s life is worth more than a coffee per day. At Blackridge Solutions we can give you the tools you need for a cost-effective solution that improves efficiency and most importantly—saves lives.
