That’s where a monitored employee SOS alarm becomes critical.
Instant SOS Protection When Employees Need It Most
With a single press of the SOS button or discreet activation from a Lone Worker Watch, an emergency alert is immediately sent to our 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre.
Our trained ARC operators can instantly listen in to assess the situation in real time, without requiring the employee to speak or interact with the device. This enables a faster, more informed response during incidents involving aggression, threats, medical emergencies, or personal safety concerns.
Once the situation has been assessed, operators coordinate the appropriate response, whether that’s contacting the employee, escalating to a manager, or requesting emergency services.
Fast. Monitored. Always Available.

Employee SOS Alarms for Lone Workers FAQs
Getting in touch is the best way to get specific questions answered but we’ve put together some information to the most often asked questions on the SOS Alarms.
What happens when a lone worker activates the SOS alarm?
When the SOS alarm is activated, an alert is immediately sent to our 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). Trained operators assess the situation in real time and coordinate the appropriate response, whether that’s contacting the employee, notifying a manager, or escalating to emergency services.
What if the employee cannot speak during an incident?
This is one of the key benefits of a professionally monitored SOS alarm. Our ARC operators can discreetly listen through the device to assess the situation, helping them determine the level of risk and the most appropriate response without requiring the employee to speak.
Is the SOS alarm monitored 24 hours a day?
Yes. Every SOS activation is handled by our dedicated 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre, ensuring support is available day and night, including weekends and public holidays.
How quickly are SOS alerts responded to?
SOS activations are received and reviewed immediately by trained operators. Fast assessment and escalation help ensure the right support is provided as quickly as possible.
Can emergency services be contacted through the SOS alarm?
Yes. If the situation warrants it, our ARC operators can escalate incidents and contact emergency services, providing relevant information to support a rapid response.
Who should use an SOS alarm?
SOS alarms are ideal for employees who work alone or face elevated personal safety risks, including:
- Home care and domiciliary care workers
- Housing officers
- Community and outreach teams
- Retail employees
- Delivery drivers
- Utility engineers
- Mobile and field-based workers
Is the SOS alarm discreet?
Yes. Employees can activate the SOS alarm quickly and discreetly, helping them request assistance without drawing attention during a potentially threatening situation.
Does the SOS alarm work outside the workplace?
Yes. SOS alarms are designed to protect employees wherever they are working, including client homes, public locations, retail premises, warehouses, and remote sites.
Can employers see where an employee is during an emergency?
Location information can be provided to support incident management and emergency response, helping operators understand where assistance may be required.
What is the difference between an SOS alarm and a standard panic button?
A standard panic button simply raises an alert. A professionally monitored SOS alarm connects employees directly to a 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre where trained operators can assess the situation, verify risk, and coordinate an appropriate response.
Can the SOS alarm help with verbal abuse or aggressive behaviour?
Yes. Not every incident involves physical violence. Many lone workers face verbal abuse, intimidation, threats, or escalating aggression. An SOS alarm provides immediate access to professional support whenever an employee feels unsafe.
Why is a monitored SOS alarm important for lone worker safety?
Lone workers often have no colleagues nearby to assist during an emergency. A monitored SOS alarm ensures that when help is needed, trained professionals are immediately alerted and can take action, providing reassurance for both employees and employers.
