Read full descriptionHide full description
GuardianMPS is a Lone Worker Safety service that can be used on your iPhone. The GuardianMPS service will allow lone workers to log in and out of daily tasks, leaving details of their location and the expected duration (logging an activity). If an activity over runs GuardianMPS will automatically call the lone worker to verify their safety. If the lone worker cannot be reached a nominated respondent will be notified informing them of the overrun activity. At this stage an agreed protocol will be followed to verify the lone worker’s safety and location. Should the lone worker feel that their safety has been compromised at any time they can press a dedicated hot key on a chosen lone worker device to summon emergency assistance. At this point GuardianMPS provides the lone worker’s personal details, activity details and live audio to the respondent receiving the escalated call. The respondent may then call the incident helpline and connect to a live feed through the user’s handset for further emergency audio. This information is invaluable if you need to notify the emergency services. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
