Estate agents Gallant Richardson launch smartphone app to protect employees when working offsite.

Gallant Richardson have rolled out lone worker safety app StaySafe to help ensure their employees are adequately protected when working alone and travelling between appointments.

StaySafe is an app and surrounding cloud-based monitoring service which tracks a lone worker’s location via GPS and alerts their manager if an employee triggers an alert or they do not check-in within a specified time.

Gallant Richardson launched StaySafe as a means of protection for their staff that spend most of their working day travelling between properties and in off-site client meetings.

Before StaySafe, the company relied on traditional safety policies such as verbal communication, code words and workers carrying personal alarms when working offsite. The company felt that if an incident were to happen, these safety strategies can be unreliable, and they began searching for a more robust alternative. Gallant Richardson wanted a solution that was cost effective, easy to use and implement and fit for use in both the office and remotely.

Tim Wade, manager at Gallant Richardson comments; “The whole StaySafe system is very easy to use and has provided us a great solution in making sure our lone workers are safe. StaySafe’s unique features such as the man down alerts and the tailored check in options allow us to monitor our workers and be aware in the case of an emergency. We now feel assured that we will be alerted whenever our lone workers are in need of help. Having a solution that was easy to implement was a priority for us so that our employees were open to making the change from our more traditional methods. StaySafe definitely matched this criteria, the app was easy to download and users found the software easy to manoeuvre.”
