My SOS Family Features Explained

My SOS Family provides a straightforward safety solution. You set it up with the people you trust, and it works on devices you already own. Whether it's a smartphone, basic mobile, or even Alexa, you're covered. This is a system built for real life, making it easy to stay prepared.

Trusted Contacts and Co-ordinated Response

Your safety network involves the people who know you best. When you send an alert, they respond. There's no confusion. One person takes charge, and others know they can relax. It's a co-ordinated response that ensures help is prompt and reliable.

SOS Timer and Check In Benefits

The SOS Timer acts as a safety net. Set it for the duration of a task. If you don't cancel it, your contacts are alerted. It's ideal for home visits or late shifts. Meanwhile, Check Ins provide quick reassurance without sending an alert, keeping communication clear and simple.


Practical Tips for Employers


Crafting a Lone Working Policy

Developing a policy is crucial for safety. Start by understanding the risks your workers face. Tailor your policy to address these issues, ensuring it respects privacy while prioritizing safety. A well-crafted policy supports a balanced work environment.

Duty of Care and Respectful Safety

Employers have a duty of care to their workers. This means providing a safe working environment without overstepping boundaries. Tools like My SOS Family help you achieve this balance, offering support without the feeling of surveillance.

Team Safety Without Tracking

Safety tools should empower, not control. By using systems that don't track, you build trust. Workers feel valued knowing they can choose when to share their location. This respect for privacy leads to a more positive and productive work atmosphere.
