The aim of these devices is not only to detect an incident and alert teams that the lone worker is potentially in danger, but also to geolocate the lone worker so that a rescue team can be dispatched as quickly as possible. The aim is to take charge of the worker as quickly as possible to limit the severity of the incident. In the most serious cases, it is about avoiding the death of the employee. Efficient emergency response, which is only possible if the victim can be located quickly, is a legal obligation for employers in many countries such as France, where legislation stipulates: “A lone worker must be able to report any situation of distress and be rescued as quickly as possible”.
