StaySafe partners with Siemens Healthineers to provide an innovative lone working solution

Siemens Healthineers employs engineers that oversee, maintain and repair medical devices within a hospital setting. As maintenance work is often reactive, engineers will typically be on call 24/7 and may have to work alone at times that are less busy, such as bank holidays and evenings.

Since partnering with StaySafe, engineers are now able to start timed sessions easily from their mobile phones whenever they are working alone. Once a session has started, managers have a full overview of where their staff are. If an employee fails to check-in safely during a lone working session, has an accident or raises an alert, managers will be able to send help to their exact location. StaySafe’s panic alert feature offers them the ability to notify a manager if they are in a dangerous situation or if they need assistance. The app also has a man down feature which sends an alert to managers if an employee has not moved for a certain period of time.

Shaun Webb, MES Manager at Siemens Healthineers, comments: 'We’re pleased with how well the StaySafe app has integrated into our service delivery. It’s easy to use and the fact it's scalable means we have the ability to roll it out to other projects as they come onboard . The team were great in helping us get up and running and made sure the questions we had were answered. We’re confident that our staff have the protection they need when working alone.'

Don Cameron, CEO at StaySafe, comments: 'For larger organisations like Siemens, ensuring your entire workforce is safe can be a challenging task. With the British Crime Survey estimating that as many as 150 lone workers are physically or verbally attacked every day in the UK alone, we are glad to offer a solution that can be tailored to fit the needs of lone workers in both small and large corporations.'
