Lone Worker Safety
Monitor staff location through wearables and the workM8 app. Automate welfare checks, dwell time monitoring and provide duress workflow.
Supporting wearables and leveraging the workM8 tools. Monitor, check and react to staff safety needs
Access pre-built employee safety tools or customize for a specific environment. workM8 automates duty of care based checks and OH&S processes by leveraging data from the mobile app, wearable or other environmental sensors.
Simplicity and Redundancy Are Behind Everything We Do
The mobile app is designed for ease of use, requiring minimal taps or swipes to request assistance. It supports a range of wearables, including smartwatches and Bluetooth fobs, for convenience in different situations. Once help is requested, an alert is immediately sent to predefined escalation points—operations centers, managers, or others—via email, voice, SMS, or app notifications for a prompt response.
Assistance from Mobile App or Dedicated Device
- workM8 supports lone worker safety tools through the workM8 mobile application and a range of dedicated hardware devices.
- Request assistance when working alone in the field.
- Automate timer based safety checks.
- Capture accurate location data through the handset or wearable.
- Pre-certified device supported with tools to integrate with third party hardware or applications.
- Customizable workflows and escalation rules.
- Watches, name badges, pendants and intrinsically safe devices are all supported.
Duress and Safety: When an Alarm is Not Enough...
Streamlined Tasks in the Field
By configuring geo-fences, the workM8 portal can automate actions based on the location of a specific individual. This could be pushing data to the individuals’ handset relating to a safety process or task. Initiate safety checklists based on accessing specific areas, confirming PPE or training requirements. Build bespoke rules for your organization within the workM8 platform.
Tools for Safety and Productivity
The workM8.io Application is a Remote Worker Safety Application designed to run on your Android or iOS device. Primarily workM8.io operates over cellular and WiFi but has also been developed to run across the Iridium Satellite network with the correct hardware.
Check-in & Check-out
Cellular Geo-fencing, RFID, NFC and Bluetooth are all data capture methods workM8 supports in order to allow start and end, entry and exit times to be captured. workM8 will automatically record these data points and allow processes to be further automated with rules set around predefined variables. Time sheeting processes may also be automated and streamlined with workM8 interacting with time and attendance systems.
Dwell Time
How long should an individual be in an area? Are they in danger if they exceed that time? workM8 can monitor entry and exit times for defined geo-fences and build a business process should the expected time be exceeded. Importantly workM8 provides the flexibility for the times and locations to be fixed by head office or defined real-time by remote workers (mental health nurses, council wardens, utilities workers, etc.).
Safety Rules
Do staff have the correct PPE equipment? Are they trained to be in an area? Do they have permission to work? Safety processes and checks can be automated through the workM8 Application based on an individual’s location. Other rules such as speed limits on-site versus off-site may also be defined when workM8 is tracking a vehicle.
Evacuation & Mustering
The most suitable hardware and data channels will be dependent on environment but workM8 can use Bluetooth beacons, RFID at entry points, Wi-Fi and cellular to assist with roll calls. With a record of real-time and historic staff location during an event workM8 allows organizations to quickly understand which individuals are unaccounted for.
