AssetsClearway lone worker devices are ideal safety devices for employees working alone or in potentially dangerous environments, giving workers and employees peace of mind that they have constant communication channels.
If the person carrying or wearing the lone worker alarm feels they’re in danger, they can press the relevant button and then instantly connect to our Alarm Receiving Centre.
Our lone work alarms may be triggered when facing threats of violence, illegal activity or due to a life-threatening or medical emergency – whatever the cause, Clearway is on hand to respond fast and to help stabilise the situation.
Our trained operators will then listen to and appraise the situation, make recordings and take appropriate action, including calling the emergency services where appropriate.
Staff can activate a GPS locator which tracks their movement and also call a ‘buddy’ via the two-way audio channel. As such, the devices are an excellent choice for potentially vulnerable individuals in a variety of organisations and environments.
Personal alarms for lone workers provide employees who work alone a way to call someone in an emergency situation. A panic alarm is usually triggered on a smartphone or device, which would then be transmitted to a monitoring station, another member of staff or the emergency services.
According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), a lone worker is defined as those “who work by themselves without close or direct supervision”. These people can include:
Many other types of workers may benefit from the use of lone worker alarms, such as security personnel, shop assistants, vulnerable individuals and those in a position of authority and responsibility for enforcing rules.
Employers must manage health and safety risks before people can work on their own. There are many inherent risks when doing so. These can include:
A lone worker device is one way of managing these risks. The lone worker can use this personal device to notify an alarm receiving centre, who can monitor and record the situation in real-time and dispatch emergency services if needed. This way the worker is always able to contact trained personnel in the event of an incident or emergency when working alone and receive help promptly.
Our lone worker alarms connect to our Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) where our trained operators listen, assess, record and dispatch security or emergency personnel if required. Whenever the device is activated, the operative will know exactly who the user is, their precise location and follow the agreed procedure to ensure the safety of the lone worker. The device also allows employees and employers to communicate via the device without the need for a mobile phone.
Lone worker devices help employers with their duty of care and employees stay safe.
Our Lone worker alarms offer the following benefits:
Body-worn safety devices (or bodycams) can supplement lone worker devices to improve worker safety. Cameras are lightweight and practical, allowing alarm responders to identify the cause of the issue and deploy the appropriate response.
Body-mounted cameras can include:
Managers and alarm receiving centres can see whether there is a live incident at hand, steer the individual to a refuge or safe space, and monitor their condition while an emergency vehicle or security team is en route.
Hard hat helmet cameras can also supplement lone worker devices to improve worker safety. They are ideal for workers operating in sites requiring protective headwear, such as in construction or road work sectors.
These slimline, lightweight cameras are discreet yet efficient and transmit crisp, real-time imagery to record and log incidents, offences, abuse, injuries or accidents and any nature of occurrence that may require investigation or follow-up action.
Workers in public-facing roles, and particularly those in construction and highways, report an increase in incidents of abusive behaviour towards them. Surveillance equipment recording actions and movements can be imperative in addressing, reporting and prosecuting perpetrators.
Clearway hard hat cameras incorporate a range of advanced controls and features to protect the safety of individual colleagues and operatives, with:
As an integrated feature within PPE, a hard hat-mounted camera benefits lone workers in multiple scenarios, ensuring their location and welfare are continually monitored.

Yes, camera technology can be a smart way to protect the safety and well-being of lone workers, particularly those in potentially hostile or vulnerable positions. Most roadway work teams or construction sites will need to erect signage advising that body-worn cameras are in use.
Health and safety legislation means that employers are responsible for protecting lone workers from accidents, injuries, or other incidents, just as with staff who work in a group setting.
Issuing staff with monitored camera safety equipment is an excellent way to showcase a commitment to lone worker safety. Most lone workers will appreciate the security and assurance gained by using convenient body-worn or hard hat-mounted cameras in their PPE equipment.
Camera footage can reduce potential liability, evidence a record of events, and ensure an emergency response is activated immediately if a lone worker falls, becomes injured, or requires medical help.
Our lone worker devices have functionality that differentiates them from our bodycams and helmet cameras. For example, SOS alarm notifications as well as man down & no movement alarm notifications to IoT platform. It’s advisable to combine our lone-worker devices with camera technology for full protection in lone-worker scenarios.
