Loner Mobile App
SMARTPHONE SAFETY MONITORING
Employees often work alone or interact with members of the public and require a simple, non-intrusive solution to monitor their safety. Blackline’s Loner® Mobile smartphone app was designed specifically to meet these needs. It fits into an employee’s routine, easily replacing productivity-draining check-in and journey management procedures.
Before entering a site, building or client’s home, users can send location-based notes to Direct Safety’s monitoring infrastructure, providing valuable context regarding their location, activities, and associated risk level.
