lone worker protection mobile app

Mobile LWP (Lone Worker Protection)

Mobile LWP is Crystal Ball’s innovative mobile application that allows employers to constantly monitor the welfare of their lone workers, without the need for an additional or dedicated device. 

It is especially useful for employees who have to work at remote locations, or attend appointments where there is a potential risk to their personal safety. Mobile LWP is ideal for organisations that have:

  • field based employees
    (eg. sales staff, service engineers)
  • staff working in the community
    (eg. traffic wardens, probation officers, taxi drivers)
  • staff conducting home visits
    (eg. health workers, social workers, vets, domestic engineers, estate agents)
  • employees working outside normal hours or are the only person on the premises
    (eg. security workers, night shift workers)
     

putting the lone worker in control

Mobile LWP differs from many of the current lone worker solutions available, as it allows the lone worker to manage their own routine welfare check `intervals’, with the flexibility to extend or cancel the session at any time.

requesting emergency assistance

In an emergency situation, `panic’ alarms can be activated discretely on the mobile phone, even whilst the keypad is locked. Mobile LWP will also request assistance for the lone worker if they are unable to activate the panic alarm. This is done by the routine welfare check `timed out’ function, which automatically raises the alarm there and then.

BS8484 accreditation

In addition, Mobile LWP panic alerts can be monitored by a BS5979 Cat II Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) if required. All compliant devices in conjunction with Mobile LWP have been fully tested and accredited to meet Lone Worker BS8484 code of practice.

Why Crystal Ball over other lone worker solutions?

  1. Crystal Ball's Mobile LWP is a smart phone app that runs on your lone workers existing mobile handset, removing the need for them to carry an additional device.
  2. These additional devices, coupled with the required mobile data SIM contract are a significant unnecessary additional cost to your business.
  3. With Mobile LWP the lone worker has to remember to re-charge this device every evening in order for it to function correctly.
  4. With Crystal Ball company system administrators have complete flexibility and control 24/7 to simply update devices and lone worker profiles as and when required. This is a major benefit over other solutions that require you to contact the supplier to carry out these changes which are vital when protecting lone workers.
  5. Mobile LWP provides company administrators and the lone worker with simultaneous updates regarding mobile data (GPRS) connectivity. This critical information is particularly important when lone workers are operating in areas of poor/patchy GPRS coverage.
