Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does AlertMedia’s lone worker monitoring system work?
    The AlertMedia lone worker app turns any smartphone into a discreet personal alarm and GPS tracking device. Employees can:
    • Activate a panic button or tether pull to instantly send an SOS alert.
    • Start a timed monitoring session with automated check-ins.
    • Share real-time location tracking with responders.
    • Receive assistance from a 24-hour monitoring center staffed by trained professionals.

    If a check-in is missed, responders follow a customized escalation procedure to dispatch help to a worker’s location fast.
  • What types of workers benefit from lone worker monitoring?
    This lone work app is ideal for anyone working without direct supervision or in high-risk environments, including:
    • Field service technicians and delivery drivers
    • Construction workers, utility crews, and oil and gas industry workers
    • Healthcare providers, social workers, and home health aides
    • Security personnel and transportation employees

    These industries face unique on-site hazards and compliance requirements that make connected safety systems essential.
  • Can the system function without cell service or Wi-Fi?
    Yes. The offline session coverage feature ensures that active monitoring sessions, countdown timers, and missed check-ins continue even when connectivity is lost. Once service is restored, all data—including GPS breadcrumbs and audit trails—automatically syncs with the cloud monitoring and management system and the AlertMedia Monitoring Team will deploy assistance to the last known location of the employee.
  • How are alerts handled when an incident occurs?
    When an SOS alert or timer expiration occurs, AlertMedia’s 24/7 monitoring center immediately initiates the configured escalation plan. Our trained monitoring professionals follow your customized action plan—contacting internal safety leaders, local emergency responders, or law enforcement as needed. Every step is documented for incident reporting and compliance tracking.
  • What types of alerts and automations are supported?
    AlertMedia’s lone worker safety solutions supports a range of customizable alerts and automated safety features, including:
    • SOS panic button activations
    • Timed and automated check-ins
    • Proximity-based warning notifications

    These automation capabilities help organizations detect and respond to emergencies in real time.
  • What kind of training and support does AlertMedia provide?
    Every implementation includes a custom rollout plan, user manuals, and mobile-friendly training modules to onboard employees quickly. Organizations also gain access to ongoing customer support services, including live assistance, online training videos, and a searchable knowledge base with checklists and troubleshooting guides.
  • How is employee data and location information protected?
    AlertMedia uses secure, cloud-based monitoring infrastructure with encryption and strict access controls. Only authorized responders and administrators can view GPS tracking or session data. All incident reports and audit trails are stored in compliance with global data privacy standards.
