The GuardMe solution: lone worker protection in Bosch quality

These lone workers live with the risk of accidents, medical emergencies, or criminal assaults going unnoticed. Quite apart from their legal obligations, good employers want to ensure that their lone workers are safe. The app-based solution Bosch GuardMe, which is certified as a lone worker protection solution by the German Employers' Liability Association, DGUV Test, detects critical situations automatically: if a lone worker has an accident, it sends an alarm message with the worker's last known location to the Bosch Monitoring Center.

In parallel it also establishes a voice connection with a Bosch associate using the smartphone's hands-free facility. If it is an emergency, the associate notifies the rescue services or other first-response partners so the lone worker can be tended to as quickly as possible. This not only gives employees a feeling of security but also helps to save lives, since in a medical emergency every minute counts.
