Home / Localisation intérieur / Lone Worker Protection: an essential device for the safety of lone workers
In many business sectors, employees are required to work alone, without the supervision of a manager, and without someone nearby. This is particularly the case for maintenance technicians, security guards and, more generally, all health professionals on tour, or service personnel working on sensitive sites. Isolation is a major risk factor, which is why a LWP (lone worker protection) must be implemented to ensure their safety as far as possible.
What is an LWP?
Originally, LWP was conceptualized as a set of technical or organizational safety features for lone workers, enabling them to automatically detect a distress situation (fall, immobility, fainting, aggression, etc.) and trigger a real-time alert to a supervision center, colleagues or emergency services.
This system relies mainly on robust mobile devices such as smartphones, badges, walkie-talkies and beacons, equipped with motion sensors and, very often, a real-time positioning function.
Why implement a LWP? When an employee works alone in a high-risk environment, every minute counts in the event of an incident. Without LWP, a critical situation could go undetected by emergency teams for several hours. By triggering alerts automatically or manually, LWP optimizes the responsiveness and targeting of an intervention, thereby significantly reducing costs.
The advantages of a LWP system include:
