The United Kingdom has the largest and most mature lone worker market in Europe and North America, followed by Canada. Legislation addressing the safety of lone workers in particular has aided growth in these two countries. These regions are also home to many of the largest vendors of lone worker protection devices and services. PeopleSafe, Totalmobile, StaySafe, PanicGuard, Orbis Protect, SoloProtect, Reliance High-Tech, Vismo, Vatix and Oysta Technology are among the leading players in the UK. Tsunami Solutions, Blackline Safety and Aware360 are the leading vendors in Canada.

ACR Electronics, Amigo Alarm, Garmin, Globalstar, MAGNETA, SAVV, Scandinavian Radio Technology, Teltonika, Twig Com and ZOLEO are among the companies that focus on developing lone worker protection devices that can be used by solution providers.

“The lone worker safety solution market in Europe and North America continues to grow as more companies and organizations understand the value these solutions bring”, Principal Analyst at Berg Insight, Martin Backman, said.

New laws pertaining to the safety of lone workers, increased premiums for employee insurance, increased knowledge of the dangers faced by lone workers and enhanced comprehension of the efficiency gains connected with lone worker protection services are the primary forces behind adoption. “The transition to app-based solutions continues in both Europe and North America as the cost of implementation is significantly lower compared to dedicated lone worker devices”, Backman continued.

A number of new satellite communicator devices that can be paired with smartphones have been introduced in recent years. These enable workers to use the lone worker app even when there is no cellular network coverage.
