We currently use PLB only and have Radio or Cell PH for emergency comms. Currently in talks with Guardian Angel Safety regarding Blackline device and/or Garmin Mini3. This would be a great topic for discussion at the EEA Health and Safety Workshop in August? Guardian Angel Safety or Direct Safety NZ both of whom provide these lone worker…

We have RT Handhelds with built in ‘Man Down’ and ‘Lone Worker’ functions that can be activated remotely.

These link back to our vehicle RT’s and to our DMR network (about 95% coverage) with GPS location.

Hi Graeme. Also keen to see what people are using as we want to trial something soon.

I referred back to the survey that Stephen Albrecht did in 2024 and have based my search on what seemed popular, plus using Google.

Blackline G7/8 seemed quite popular, with Mercari and Tait others listed. One EDB down south was trialing Gethomesafe which is…

Hi Graeme,

We use Blackline Safety devices. Both mobile and satelite coverage. We did a review last year to look at the options and suppliers on the market. The review included tait radios, garmin inreach, blackline, a number of phone apps and apple watches. We engaged apple directly and talked to Endeavour Energy in Australia who…

-Phones, most staff that are provided with phones in the field are using phones that are…

CEL are very much the same as you Graeme. All vehicles have e-road, all workers issued with PLB. There are lone worker protocols requiring lone workers to call into NOC and Customer care to monitor lone workers too.

Hey all

Keen to hear what systems youre using to monitor your lone workers.
Our current system has ceased working now the 3G network is closed down.
We have vehicle tracking, PLBs as an option – but do you have a self activated system should someone take a fall etc – maybe use of wearable (smarthwatch) technology?

Cheers G
