Lone Worker Monitoring
Protecting Australian Lone Workers with Personal Safety Devices & Monitoring Solutions
CSE Crosscom is at the forefront of technologies that provide visibility, automation and reduced exposure to health and safety risks for lone workers.

Ensuring Worker Safety for your High-Risk Employees
Australian Employer Responsibilities
When managing Lone Worker risk and safety, careful consideration should be given to:
- The length of time employees may be working alone
- The time of day when they are working alone
- The location of the work
- Worker communication strategies
- The nature of the work and inherent risks associated with it
- The skills and capabilities of employees including medical considerations
Employers can mitigate dangers facing Lone Workers through implementing:
- Buddy systems
- Improved workplace layout and design
- Movement records
- Training and instruction on workplace safety
- Providing first aid training
- Implementing effective communication systems
The Current Global Context of Lone Worker Safety
Workplace manslaughter laws have been introduced in many Australian states and territories, where employers now face criminal charges for failing to adequately manage, control or supervise its employees. The advent of COVID-19 has further changed the working conditions for all industries globally. Additional to this, the isolation policies associated with disease management present a new challenge for many businesses, with increased vulnerability of workers who are obliged to work remotely. CSE Crosscom’s Lone Worker Monitoring solution offers an end-to-end solution to ensure your Lone Worker employees are safe.

Use Case – Improving Lone Worker Safety
WORKER INCIDENT OCCURS
A utility worker alone at a remote substation is injured, unable to move, and needs assistance.
ALARM SYSTEM ACTIVATED
Pressing the emergency button on his dedicated rugged device automatically places the worker in a group call with dispatch and his supervisor, and both receive information on the worker’s location.
ASSISTANCE DISPATCHED
With the press of one button, the worker is able to let team members know they need immediate help. Minimising the time between incident and response reduces the chance of serious harm to the worker.
