Panic Alerting

FAQs
GetHomeSafe is designed to monitor time. If your phone is outside of cell coverage, the app caches the locations and prompts you to find coverage. The app reminds you to check-in (and find coverage) even when out of signal.
If you fail to check-in the server (not your phone) sends the alert to your nominated contacts, creating a catch-all and fail-safe system to alert someone, regardless of what has happened to you or your phone.
If your staff work outside of cellular coverage frequently, please refer to our Remote Worker options
Live GPS location sharing of lone working employees through their phone is an incredibly powerful safety measure, if done correctly. GetHomeSafe - Lone Worker app is session-based, and employees (not managers) control when their GPS location is shared and recorded.
The system is built on a four-tier access hierarchy and fully GDPR-compliant audit trail of access to personal information.
Depending on how often you use GetHomeSafe (and frequency of automated location check-ins), we expect data usage of around 80mb per month.
