Lone worker safety: LTE radios, wearables and the SOS workflow
How modern LTE PTToC and IoT wearables meet lone-worker safety obligations — man-down, geofencing, check-ins and escalation.
Lone-worker programs used to depend on pagers, phone check-ins and hope. Modern LTE PTToC and IoT wearables replace all three with an automated, auditable SOS workflow that scales across shifts and sites.
Core capabilities
- Man-down and no-motion detection with configurable thresholds.
- Scheduled check-ins with automatic escalation on missed acknowledgements.
- Geo-fenced entry/exit and hazard-zone alerts.
- One-touch SOS with GPS to a supervisor talkgroup or dispatch console.
- Audit log of alerts, acknowledgements and response times for compliance.
Designing the workflow
A defensible lone-worker program pairs the technology with clear escalation policies: who acknowledges, in what timeframe, and what happens if they don't. ip³PTT talkgroups, ip³Sensors wearables and the ip³Things dashboard implement that policy end-to-end.
