Lone Workers Monitor


Lone Workers Monitor

What This Screen Is For

The Lone Workers Monitor is a live safety dashboard.

Its purpose is simple: To show where each configured lone worker was last detected and whether they are currently on site.

This screen is used when people work alone, outside normal team proximity, and immediate visibility is required in case of incidents, delays, or emergencies.

It is not an attendance report.
It is not a planning tool.
It is a situational awareness screen.

When You Use This Screen

Use the Lone Workers Monitor when you need to:

  • Confirm that lone workers have entered or exited the site
  • Check who is currently inside during off-hours
  • Locate the last known position of a specific worker
  • Respond to a safety incident or missed check
  • Perform routine safety checks during shifts with isolated staff

This screen is designed to be checked frequently and quickly.

Who Uses This Screen

Typical operators include:

  • Security staff
  • Health and safety officers
  • Supervisors during night or isolated shifts
  • Authorized HR administrators

Note: Access is typically restricted due to the sensitivity of the information.

What You See at First Glance

At the top of the screen, summary indicators provide an immediate overview:

  • Total Workers - All employees configured as lone workers
  • In Site - Lone workers currently detected inside the site
  • Out of Site - Lone workers last detected outside the site

This allows you to assess the overall situation within seconds.

Understanding the Main Table

Each row represents one lone worker.

For each worker, you see:

  • Status - IN, OUT, or UNKNOWN based on the latest processed access event
  • Employee Identity - Name and internal identifier
  • Department - Organizational context
  • Last Location - The access controller where the worker was last detected
  • Last Check - Date and time of the most recent access event
  • Today's Shift - Scheduled shift for context only
  • Contact Details - Phone and email for immediate action

This table is designed for rapid scanning, not deep analysis.

How Status Works

The status reflects last known state, not real-time tracking.

  • IN - The last processed event indicates the worker entered the site
  • OUT - The last processed event indicates the worker exited the site
  • UNKNOWN - No reliable event is available yet

Status changes automatically as new access events are processed.

How Location Is Determined

Location is based on the most recent access controller used.

This means:

  • The system shows where the worker was last detected
  • It does not track movement continuously
  • It does not predict current position

This is intentional. The monitor provides traceability, not surveillance.

Viewing Detailed Movements

To investigate a specific worker:

  1. Click the view (eye) icon in the row
  2. A detailed panel opens with:
    • Worker identity and contact details
    • Current IN / OUT status
    • Assigned shift (for context)
    • Last recorded movements, grouped by day

This view is used when:

  • A worker is overdue
  • A location needs verification
  • An incident requires reconstruction

Understanding the Movement View

Each movement entry shows:

  • Exact time of the event
  • Direction (ENTER or EXIT)
  • Access controller name
  • Controller type (Site Gate or Work Zone)

Events are shown in order, exactly as recorded.

This allows you to reconstruct:

  • Entry and exit sequences
  • Zone transitions
  • Last confirmed activity

Exporting Data

The monitor supports export for:

  • Incident reports
  • Safety audits
  • Compliance documentation

Exports reflect the current state of the monitor at the time of export.

Refresh and Data Timing

The screen updates automatically at regular intervals (every 30 seconds by default).

Key principle: What you see is always accurate up to the last completed processing cycle.

This provides near real-time visibility without manual recalculation or user intervention. A countdown timer shows when the next refresh will occur, and auto-refresh can be paused if needed.

Need Help? If a worker's status seems incorrect or stale, check the Last Check timestamp. For configuration of lone workers, refer to the Configuration and Rules section or contact your system administrator.
