We exist to
Whether you manage a company with lone workers, employees working in people’s homes, those in high-risk work environments, or remote workers and isolated individuals, the risk is always present.
Accidents can happen, such as an attack by a customer or getting trapped under machinery.
Who will know they are in trouble?
Who will know where they are?
Who will come to help?
Alarmingly, for many businesses, the answer is often nobody.
We offer accredited comprehensive safety solutions for lone workers, ensuring your business protects your people in high-risk situations, avoids fines and reputational damage, and stays compliant with today’s health and safety regulations.
SafeTCard, the leading provider of safety solutions across Australia, has been working with Federal, State, and Local Government Agencies as well as Corporate and Private, Health and Aged Care, and Family Services organisations since 2010.
The Lone Worker Challenge:
- Definition: According to the Australian government,“lone workers are considered those who work by themselves and/or work in the community with only limited support arrangements, which therefore exposes them to risk by being isolated from the usual backup support.”
- Risks: Due to due to the lack of immediate backup support, they face increased risks such as workplace accidents, medical emergencies, and potential assaults, making their safety a critical concern.
- Importance: Ensuring the safety of lone workers is not just a regulatory requirement but a moral obligation, safeguarding their well-being and enhancing their productivity.
- Who:
- A field technician or a miner working alone in a remote location
- A social worker conducting a home visit in a high-risk neighbourhood
- A nurse working in home healthcare at night
- A farmer working with heavy machinery or cattle alone
- A delivery driver working on the road for long hours
- A security guard patrolling a large property at night
- A sales or real estate representative working in high-crime areas
- A government agency employee conducting field surveys working remotely
- An elder alone at home tripping and falling.
