We understand that being able to get on with your job is important, which is why we offer a fully managed, end to end service. Let us do the hard work for you. The First2HelpYou Lone Worker app features: Red Alert If the user feels vulnerable or is under threat, a red alert can easily be activated through a button press. This triggers a call to our fully compliant, Alarm Receiving Centre, where an operator will be listening in to the situation to determine the best course of action. Amber Alert An amber alert is like leaving a voicemail with the Alarm Receiving Centre. The user can let us know if they are beginning a high-risk task, or entering a location where they are likely to be more vulnerable. An amber alert also lets the user start a timer to countdown until they expect their task will be complete. A red alert will be activated if the user fails the confirm they are safe and well within the allotted time frame. GPS The lone worker app uses the latest technology to provide an accurate GPS location of the user.
