TouchTag is a monitored personal protection alarm that operates like any normal mobile phone but it contains a built in GPS (satellite positioning system) and an emergency alarm button. It also includes a range of optional additional check routines that prompt a lone worker to confirm that all is well. Failure by the lone worker to follow these prompts results in an alarm being sent to Tag Guard’s own 24-hour operating centre. All alarms are logged, with audit trail and further reports available.

Positioned at the top of the phone is an emergency button which when pressed sends a coded alarm message and gives its latest recorded position. This message is received by our 24-hour monitoring centre and shows the position on detailed street level maps. The lone worker receives an acknowledgement by return confirming that the emergency is being dealt with. The control centre immediately activates a response unit so that assistance can be arranged.

Health & Safety regulations are imposing increasing burdens on employers to make provision for the wellbeing of their lone workers and to demonstrate that they are exercising a proper duty of care.
