  • 8m

    people (20%) in the UK work alone, with 25% having left a job due to safety concerns and 46% avoiding working late due to personal safety fears

How does Peoplesafe help?

  • Reality today

    Lone workers and frontline staff are facing growing threats in their day-to-day roles. From verbal abuse and harassment to physical assault and medical emergencies, the risks are increasing as people work alone, in isolated locations, or in unpredictable public-facing environments. This reality makes personal safety harder to guarantee and highlights the need for reliable, real-time protection – where help can be raised instantly, no matter where or when an incident occurs.

  • Peoplesafe approach

    Peoplesafe’s safety solutions link directly to its 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC), where trained operators verify incidents and coordinate emergency response, typically twice as fast as calling 999. Products reduce the severity of incidents, increase workers’ sense of safety and strengthen employer duty-of-care.

  • Aspirational future

    In an aspirational future, lone and frontline workers can carry out their roles with confidence, knowing their safety is never compromised. Through intelligent, always-connected protection, help is immediate, risks are anticipated, and incidents are prevented before they escalate. Peoplesafe enables a world where everyone returns home safely, every day – empowering organisations to protect their people while building safer, more resilient work environments.

  • Who is impacted?

    Peoplesafe supports employers and organisations to protect their employees in their work environment. This helps keep lone and frontline workers safe in challenging or high-risk situations, enables employers to meet their duty of care with confidence, and supports communities by ensuring critical services can be delivered safely and reliably across a wide range of industries.

  • Contribution

    Peoplesafe enables employers and organisations to actively protect their employees through connected, real-time personal safety solutions. By providing immediate access to assistance, continuous monitoring, and actionable safety insights, reduce harm, and strengthen duty of care. This contributes to safer workplaces, lower risk exposure, reduced incident-related costs, and a stronger safety culture across organisations with lone and frontline workers.

  • Risks to impact

    Realised impact depends on continued high performance of Peoplesafe’s ARC and effective integration with local dispatch systems, ensuring that alerts are assessed and escalated rapidly to deliver accelerated response times. Separately, outcomes rely on sufficient capacity and appropriate responses from local emergency services once an incident is handed over. In addition, maintaining strong safeguards around data privacy and cybersecurity is critical to prevent misuse or unauthorised access to sensitive personal data.
