Lone Worker
Whether nationally travelling or working in a more defined and localised area, your staff may encounter risk.
The job they do, where it's being carried out or the time of day/night can influence social (e.g. attack, verbal abuse) or environmental (e.g. falls or incapacitation) risks.
Features and Benefits
Red Alert
When activated, notifications are instantly sent to the necessary teams via Email, SMS and/or Phone Call. Audio is automatically recorded on the device when activated and sent back to the Vismo Secure Portal for security teams or an Alarm Receiving Centre to understand the situation at hand.
Incident Management
When an incident occurs, locate Lone Workers instantly within the vicinity of the impact area or close by. Use Incident Management as part of your action plan to help safeguard those at risk. Bolt-On options for the inclusion of a 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre are also available if you'd prefer to outsource incident management.
Mass Notification
Provide immediate & critical information to Lone Working employees within a specific geographic area, a large group or to selected individuals. Find out employees safety status' by sending information through Vismo's In-App Mass Notification message and deploy bespoke/client defined user responses. Full audit trail of send, delivery and read. Can be backed up with send by email if Vismo App isn’t deployed. Additional costed options to send via SMS and/or automated voice are also available.
Assignments
Create assignments for Lone Workers on the Vismo Secure Portal, the individuals receive a notification of the assignment and have two-way messaging capabilities with the Vismo Portal.
Privacy Mode
To protect privacy, Lone Workers can enter Privacy Mode when they have finished their work and are returning home, whilst still maintaining the Red Alert feature in cases of emergencies.
Wellbeing
When employees are working alone, it is more important than ever to check on their wellbeing and provide the appropriate support. The Vismo Wellbeing feature can send a notification to ask employees how they are feeling, they can select 'Good', 'OK' or 'Not Good'. Employers can add options for an employee if they select 'Not Good' such as calling a helpline, requesting a follow up or remaining anonymous.
Benefits to Employer
Risk Reduction
Employers achieve multiple cost and risk-reduction benefits by implementing a solution to protect their employees and reduce their risks whilst working alone. Reducing risk and helping workers be more risk aware can help organisations also meet their moral and legal Duty of Care, along with other legislative requirements.
Employee Wellbeing and Safety
Implementing a monitoring and safety solution provides employees with peace of mind, knowing if an incident occurred, they can be immediately located. Or that proactively, if risk is known to exist, their employer can advise them of its existence. This in turn, increases productivity as employees feel safe within their workplace and valued by their employer.
Benefits to Employee
Immediate Support in an Alert Situation
The Vismo Lone Worker App offers a Red Alert capability, enabling immediate multiple contacts in the event of an emergency. Lone workers are provided peace of mind that their employer can be rapidly informed and a plan of response appropriately managed, even if risks change.
Peace of Mind
Providing peace of mind for Lone Workers, knowing the Red Alert button could be simply and immediately activated if required. Proactive messaging from their employer about known risks in their vicinity also enables the lone worker to be better equipped for the task ahead.

The Vismo App
To protect the safety of Lone Working employees, the Vismo App can be downloaded and activated on an individual's smartphones and/or tablet.
The App can be highly customised and branded with a client’s corporate look and feel. The Vismo App provides peace of mind to Lone Workers, knowing if there was an emergency, the Red Alert feature can be activated. Ease of use as well as highly optimised battery performance are always key points of focus for Vismo.
The Vismo Portal
The Vismo Secure Portal enables managers or an Alarm Receiving Centre to monitor the locations and safety of employees by receiving active alerts through the Portal. The Vismo Secure Portal is compatible on PC, Tablet and Smartphone, enabling instant access on any device.
Active Alerts
When logged into the Vismo Secure Portal, if a user activates the Red Alert, this will automatically create a pop-up and an alarm noise will appear to make the team aware of the Red Alert. As well as this, the team will also receive an Email, SMS and Automated Phone Call to inform of the Red Alert, along with the users last known locations.
Incident Management
If an incident occurs, managers and an Alarm Receiving Centre can quickly view the incident area and identify any Lone Workers in the area. From here, the incident can be managed through the Portal and tasks can be assigned to different administrators of the account.
App Configuration
Within the Vismo Secure Portal, an organisation can change the look and feel of the Vismo App to make it specific to the organisation or an individual Lone Worker or group of Lone Workers. A company logo can be uploaded, the tiles are interchangeable and company websites and numbers can be added.
Monitoring Options
Vismo provides a completely client-flexible approach to the monitoring of Lone, Home or Remote Workers.
Many of our clients have the ability and/or desire to self-monitor their workers and to manage and respond directly to any incidents raised. Vismo is able to facilitate this approach by enabling the use of its Secure Portal directly within the client's monitoring centre or security department. Vismo is also able to offer an outsourced approach to 24/7 monitoring using its relationship with Securitas.
