App for lone workers

Saskatchewan based company, TransGas uses the system to protect employees while travelling and working alone.
 
The company had previously operated a check-in policy in which each front line operations person was expected to call their supervisor at pre-determined intervals throughout the day. A supervisor would be responsible for 8-10 employees at a time and would be expected to call an employee if they had not heard from them.
 
This resulted in down-time where both the employee and supervisors were making several phone calls before refocusing on the job at hand. TransGas searched for a solution that was efficient and time saving with quick check-ins and alerts only being raised when necessary.
 
With StaySafe’s man-down, session expiry and panic features, an alert and GPS location can be sent to a monitor even when the employee cannot get to their phone, allowing help to be sent directly to them. This is particularly helpful when travelling alone to remote locations where there may be no one around to provide assistance should an accident occur.
 
A-Jay Medwid, manager, operations effectiveness at TransGas comments: “StaySafe is an efficient and value saving solution that allows us to monitor all of our front line employees distributed over a large geographical spread, from one place. Our team can now check-in at the touch of a button and supervisors will only be alerted when they need to be, freeing up time and allowing them to focus on other important tasks, while feeling confident that an alert system is in place to assure the safety of front line workers.

"The intuitive nature of the app and hub means that it is very easy to implement and easy to pick up. It has been well accepted and embraced by our supervisors and frontline staff alike who feel safer knowing that the StaySafe solution is there.”
