News: Peoplesafe partner with Orange

Peoplesafe, the experts in lone worker safety based in Rotherham, has entered into a strategic partnership with Orange, one of the world's leading telecommunications operators.

Orange is entering into two new strategic partnerships to support its lone worker solution and help organisations support their employees when off site, with public sector specialists Guardian24, and private sector experts Peoplesafe.

The solution and partnerships have been designed to offer organisations the tools to give employers and employees alike the peace of mind that emergency help for people working alone can be summoned if needed.

The lone worker solution from Orange includes providing easy, discreet mechanisms such as a button that can be attached to clothing or a simple phone application, which will allow employees to summon emergency help at one touch if needed.

As part of the partnership, Peoplesafe can offer those in the private sector individual risk assessments and legal guidance to help offer them the best security solutions.

The Dinnington firm provide solutions to lone workers in sectors ranging from house-builders to social workers.

Michael Lawrence, Head of Corporate Propositions, Orange UK said: "At Orange, we believe that employees deserve to have the very best of help to stay safe and secure when at work.

"We also believe that the ability to call for help at the touch of a button can be an immense confidence booster for employers and employees alike.

"We've partnered with Peoplesafe and Guardian24 to deliver our lone worker solution, because, like us, they recognise the growing need to provide businesses with easy to use, reliable tools that can help them take care of their employees' wellbeing in the way that suits them best."
