Lone worker protection
08 June 2016
The next generation Loner M6 Series from Blackline Safety continuously monitors the safety of lone workers and alerts monitoring personnel in real-time if an accident, injury or assault occurs. Loner M6 combines automatic incident detection, manual triggers, wireless communications and precise positioning technology into a compact and durable person-worn device.
Safety alerts are communicated to monitoring personnel in real-time. A LiveResponse feature automatically illuminates a blue light on Loner M6, bringing comfort to the employee that help is on the way.
Gavin Boorman, MD at Blackline Safety Europe, says: “Our new Loner M6 surpasses the requirements of the lone worker BS 8484 monitoring guideline that requires two-way voice communication with an Alarm Receiving Centre. Speaking with our live monitoring partner, Securi-Guard, is automatic. When a safety alert is triggered, the worker can speak directly with monitoring personnel – all without pressing a button.”
Blackline’s 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.
