A Duty of Care... What does it mean?

All organisations who employ staff are bound by a Duty of Care to ensure that all reasonable measures have been taken and are in operation to ensure the health and safety of their employees at all times.

For the first time, Companies and organisations can be found guilty of corporate manslaughter* as a result of serious management failures resulting in a gross breach of a duty of care. (* The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007)

Lone Workers... Who are they?

"Lone workers are those who work by themselves without close or direct supervision."
View: 'Health and safety guidance on the risks of lone working' 

 

LoneResQ is a powerful solution to manage and protect Lone Workers. Easy to use and simple to install, the application is available as a mobile download and not dependent on a contract renewal. Fully supported and complete with training, LonResQ requires nothing more than a modern mobile or smartphone, so your workforce can carry out their day to day duties with the reassurance that assistance is always available, they are visible and can be located.

Monitored internally and/or by a 24/7 Cat II Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) that will handle all the alerts, communicate with the Lone Worker, record events and summon immediate assistance if necessary, LoneResQ can provide managers and operators total visibility of an employee’s situation, location and device status, enabling them to resolve incidents as they arise. 

Because different risk levels in varying situations can be monitored through sophisticated colour coded danger statuses, pin requests, welfare checks, priority channel calling, call recording and monitoring as well as a wide range of alert activations, LoneResQ will make any Lone Worker feel safe and secure in the knowledge that they are been protected whilst also protecting a Company and its management from loss and litigation.

 
As a basic requirement for any Company that wants to ensure that they are fulfilling their obligations to their employees and The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007, Brella Telecom has a number of online training modules which have been designed specifically to address all aspects of Lone Working for employers and employees. Modules include:

What is a Lone Worker? | Risk Assessment | Employer & Employee Responsibilities | Risk Awareness | Safe Driving | Home Working | Stress Management | Personal Protection & Precautionary Measures
