Protecting Your Most Valuable Asset: A Guide to Lone Worker Safety
Business & Employers

Employees who work alone face unique risks. As an employer, it’s your duty to protect them. Learn how automated monitoring fulfills your duty of care.

Real estate agents, home health aides, delivery drivers, and utility workers. They are the backbone of your business, but they are out there alone. They enter strangers' homes, climb ladders in empty warehouses, and drive on lonely roads. When they are alone, they are vulnerable.


The Blind Spot in Your Business

If a lone worker falls off a ladder or encounters a hostile client, who knows? If they can't reach their phone, how long will they lie there before help arrives? This is a massive liability for your business and a moral weight on your conscience.


You have a legal and ethical "duty of care" to protect your staff. But how do you protect someone you can't see?


Corporate Responsibility Made Easy

MySentry provides an enterprise-grade safety solution that fits on a consumer device. We help you fulfill your duty of care without expensive proprietary hardware or intrusive tracking.


Protecting Your People

MySentry equips your team with tools designed for the field. Automatic Fall Detection ensures that if a worker is injured and unable to call for help, we know about it instantly.


For hazardous tasks, they can use the Check-In Timer. They set a duration for the task (e.g., "Inspecting roof - 20 mins"). If they don't check in when the timer expires, the system escalates the alert to a supervisor or emergency services.


We also provide a discreet Panic Alarm. If a real estate agent feels threatened by a client, they can summon security without escalating the situation visibly.


A Safer Workforce

Employees who feel safe are more productive and loyal. By investing in their safety, you are sending a clear message: "We value you." Plus, you reduce your insurance liability and protect your brand's reputation. It’s good business, and it’s the right thing to do.
