90 second response

The Loner – a rugged mobile phone sized device which clips to a belt – signalled for help after 10 seconds, displaying the Fall Alarm and an exact location in the management portal. Within 90 seconds the first responder arrived to provide emergency assistance.

Pete Ashworth, safety advisor of Glatfelter, comments: “Early on there may have been some resistance and some concern that ‘big brother’ was watching, but our team members understand that working alone in the early morning, dark hours or in unpopulated areas of the facility makes them vulnerable.”
