Lone Worker Safety 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 our Lone Worker services and solutions
What is a Lone Worker?
A lone worker is any employee who performs their job duties in isolation from other workers, without direct supervision. This can include individuals working in remote locations, outside regular business hours, or in various field-based roles such as maintenance, delivery, and security.
Why is Lone Worker Safety Important?
Lone worker safety is vital because these employees are more vulnerable to risks such as accidents, health emergencies, and assaults. Without immediate access to help or supervision, the consequences of incidents can be more severe. Ensuring their safety not only protects employees but also helps organisations comply with legal requirements and maintain productivity.

How much does the safety watch cost?
The lone worker safety watch is usually sold on a lease and service basis, meaning there is no upfront cost because we spread the cost of the watch over the term of the agreement, much as you do with your mobile phone contract. How much it is on a monthly basis will be determined by which services such as ARC monitoring or the employer platform you want to include in the package and whether you need indoor location beacons. We also do have some leeway with discounts for multiple units. Almas’ set up, configuration and ongoing support is included in any package.
Are there different ways to pay?
There are 2 different options. You can pay for the watch and accessories outright and then pay a monthly fee for onboarding and ongoing service and support. Or you can package the cost of the device in with the service cost and spread it over the term of a lease agreement. In short, there doesn’t need to be an upfront cost if you would rather pay monthly.
Are there any additional costs for accessories or advanced features?
The safety watch comes with a charger, watch strap and lanyard. If you want additional wall mounted multi-chargers, arm or ankle bands or clips then these would be an additional cost. If you want indoor location then we will survey your site to determine how many Bluetooth beacons are required and price these.
All features and alerts are included within our monthly fee.
Is there a minimum term?
Yes, how long that is will depend on which services you choose and which financing model you decide upon. If you buy the devices outright then it’s a minimum 12 month subscription for ARC monitoring. We also do subscriptions over 3 -5 years. If you choose to lease the safety watch then 3 years is generally the minimum term, but this includes all service, maintenance and support.
Are there subscription fees associated with using the device and its services? What does the subscription fee include?
Services include several different options, we package these different services according to your specific needs and requirements and you only pay 1 monthly fee to us.
