The challenge

What operators are up against

People working alone may be injured, threatened, or medically unable to reach a phone. Supervisors can also lose visibility when staff travel between remote sites, enter buildings, or miss a scheduled check-in. Manual call trees delay verification and provide little location evidence. Employers need automatic event detection, a direct request-for-help path, and an accountable emergency response.

The solution

How Connected Lone Worker Protection addresses it

Connected Lone Worker Protection links a personal safety wearable with live location, automatic fall and no-motion detection, SOS, check-ins, and two-way communication. Blackline Live presents the worker, event, map position, and configured response procedure to authorized teams. Employers can verify an incident, contact the worker, dispatch local help, and preserve an accountable emergency record.

How it works

An administrator assigns and configures a wearable, users, contacts, schedules, and emergency protocols. The worker carries the device during the shift; motion sensing, SOS, check-ins, GPS, and supported indoor location create safety events. The wearable sends status and alerts through cellular or a supported satellite path to Blackline Live. Supervisors or monitoring agents review the map and event, communicate with the worker, follow the response protocol, escalate to local help, and document resolution.

SenseA worn G8, G7, or G7x device detects falls, no motion, SOS requests, check-ins, device state, and supported worker location.

Wider lone-work coverage: Supports routine field work and remote locations with connected options.

Accountable response: Preserves time-stamped alert, communication, escalation, and resolution records.

Lower supervisor burden: Replaces repeated manual check-in calls with configured device workflows.

Automatic incident detection

Identifies falls and no-motion events without requiring a manual call.

Dedicated SOS control

Gives the worker a direct request-for-help action on the worn device.

Scheduled check-ins

Raises an exception when a required worker confirmation is missed.

Live worker location

Presents GPS and supported indoor position with the active alert.

Two-way communication

Supports voice or text contact during verification and response.

Configured response plans

Gives monitoring teams contacts and escalation steps for each account.
