An additional partnership with RapidSOS allows 24/7 safety monitoring and the option to send life-saving data to emergency personnel
Kansas City, KS, April 10, 2023 ー Global workforce operations company, SafetyCulture, today announced the launch of SHEQSY by SafetyCulture to its U.S. customers. SHEQSY, a cloud-based lone worker safety app, provides faster, data-enriched emergency response for lone workers. With this, frontline workers can feel confident in their work with GPS location monitoring, periodic check-ins, and access to a panic button in case of an emergency.
With activity timers, customizable check-ins, and access to a panic button, SHEQSY enables frontline workers to complete their day-to-day tasks with confidence, accessing assistance if or when they need it. Deployed via smartphone app or with integrated handheld satellite devices for workers in more remote locations, managers can monitor their workers via the SHEQSY dashboard. If an employee requires assistance, they can immediately notify designated contacts and emergency responders with their precise location.
To begin, lone frontline workers will activate SHEQSY via the app, confirming activity type and duration. As they work, employees can check in periodically with the ability to extend their activity or activate a panic alarm if assistance is needed. Team leaders can view employee activity in real time, publish roll calls to confirm employee wellbeing in the event of an incident, and run detailed reports of all lone worker activities. Distress alerts are sent by automated phone call, SMS, and/or email, or teams can opt to use SHEQSY’s 24/7 monitoring center.
In addition, SafetyCulture has partnered with RapidSOS, an intelligent safety platform that enables SHEQSY to send automatic, real-time alerts to RapidSOS Safety Agents and 911 personnel in an emergency. RapidSOS securely links life-saving data from over 500M connected devices, apps, and sensors directly to over 15,000 911 and first responder agencies. The platform empowers faster and more effective emergency responses and provides first responders with the critical information they need to protect lives.
“People that work alone and in isolation can take on a lot of personal risks on the job, and it’s our mission to ensure we’re doing everything we can to make them as safe as possible,” said Hays Bailey, Director of SHEQSY. “We are proud to bring SHEQSY and RapidSOS capabilities to our U.S. customers, and want them to know that SafetyCulture is ensuring lone workers get home safely.”
SHEQSY with RapidSOS capabilities will be live in the U.S. on April 10. To learn more about frontline worker safety solutions, visit sheqsy.com
