A national rail maintenance contractor faced increasing safety risks for trackside workers operating alone in remote zones, often at night or during service disruptions. Traditional radio check-ins were unreliable, and emergency escalation protocols lacked real-time visibility and traceability.

Similar challenges were reported by healthcare responders and industrial technicians working in hazardous or isolated conSolution

We deployed a modular lone worker safety system designed for adaptability across sectors. The solution included:

• Discreet duress activation via wearable or mobile devices
• Real-time location tracking indoors and outdoors, with geo-fencing for restricted zones
• Automated check-in workflows with escalation triggers for missed responses
• Multi-channel alert routing via GSM-R, IP, SMS, and radio protocols
• Offline resilience with local alert propagation when connectivity is lost
• Central dashboard for live monitoring, audit trails, and incident replay

The system was tailored to integrate with existing infrastructure—whether in rail depots, hospitals, or industrial sites—and complied with GDPR, CNIL, and lone worker legislation.ditions—where threats could be environmental, situational, or interpersonal.

• 60% faster response to duress events
• Full visibility of lone worker status across 150+ locations
• Reduced liability and improved compliance with safety audits
• Increased worker confidence and retention in high-risk roles

“I can trigger an alert silently and know someone will see it instantly—even if I’m underground or off-grid. It’s changed how we think about safety.” — Trackside Supervisor, Rail Operations
