Lone worker safety. No call centres. No being watched.
Lone worker safety shouldn’t mean being watched or routed through strangers. Your safety is about the people who know you, not a call centre. My SOS Family keeps it simple: a quick Check In or SOS Timer alerts your people fast and quietly. This is workplace safety without being watched, with control and calm built in.
Lone Worker Safety Essentials
Privacy-First Safety App
When you think of safety, being watched might not be your first choice. That's where a privacy-first safety app steps in. It's all about control in your hands. No more feeling like Big Brother is on your shoulder. My SOS Family allows you to alert your trusted circle with just a tap or voice command. It respects your privacy, sharing your location only when you decide it's necessary. This means you can go about your day without the stress of constant monitoring, knowing you've got a reliable safety net when you need it.
Call Centre Alternative for Safety
Traditional safety systems often mean dealing with strangers in a call centre. But you deserve better. You deserve help from people who truly know you. This is where a call centre alternative shines. With My SOS Family, your alerts go directly to your trusted contacts. These are people who care about you and can react quickly because they know you. Imagine a system where your family, friends, or coworkers are the first to know when you need help. This personal touch is what makes this approach stand out—it's your safety, managed by your own circle.
Trusted Contacts Over Strangers
Who do you want in charge when things go sideways? Strangers or the people you trust most? Choosing trusted contacts over strangers ensures that the right people are notified. With My SOS Family, you pick who gets the call. It could be your best friend, your partner, or your colleague. They are the ones who know your routines, your quirks, and how best to assist you. This network of familiar faces means help is not just fast, but also tailored to you. It’s safety that feels personal and reassuring.
Tools for Workplace Safety
Lone Working Check In
For many, working solo is just part of the job. But it shouldn't mean you're out of touch. A lone working check-in system ensures you have a simple way to stay connected. With My SOS Family, you can easily check in at set times, letting your team know you're safe. This reassurance doesn't require constant communication, just a quick, scheduled update. It provides peace of mind without the need for intrusive supervision, making it perfect for anyone working alone.
SOS Timer Protection
Ever wished you had a backup plan that didn't feel like overkill? SOS Timer Protection offers just that. Set a timer for when you expect to be done with a task. If you don’t turn it off, it sends an alert to your trusted contacts. It's a quiet assurance that if something goes amiss, your people will know. This feature is particularly useful for tasks that involve a bit of risk or when you're in a situation where you might forget to check in manually.
User-Controlled Location Sharing
Location sharing can feel like a double-edged sword. You want the safety it provides but not the feeling of being tracked. My SOS Family gives you user-controlled location sharing. You choose when to share your location and when not to. This means you have all the benefits of location sharing without the downside of feeling watched. Whether you're on a solo work trip or just walking home late, you can ensure your location is known only when you want it to be.
