Remote and Lone Workers


Industry employment in transportation, government, oil and gas and natural resources often require workers to operate remotely and alone. This poses considerable risks not only for the workers but also employers. As a result, responsibility is placed on employers to identify high-risk environments for their workers. Companies are challenged to provide safe work practices and ensure lone worker requirements are met. The most efficient way to ensure lone worker safety is effective communication.



Location-Based Satellite Messaging


The SPOT IS Satellite GPS Messenger is an affordable GPS-enabled personal satellite messaging and emergency communications device providing a simple way to help address lone worker safety. SPOT IS is 100% satellite technology so it works where cell phones don’t. SPOT IS™ can help meet work alone regulations by providing a simple and reliable solution to keep in contact with remote workers. SPOT IS combines GPS and satellite communications technology providing workers with a vital line of communication with employers and emergency assistance – when and where it may be needed.
