11 reasons why StaySafe is the best lone worker app

StaySafe is the enterprise-grade lone worker solution trusted by over 100,000 employees across industries. It reduces risk, ensures compliance, and delivers measurable safety ROI.

Unlike legacy systems or hardware-dependent tools, StaySafe runs on the smartphones your teams already carry – no extra devices to manage, no adoption barriers, and reduced operational costs.

And we don’t just give you software, we become your lone worker safety partner. From initial rollout to long-term optimisation, we tailor a fully supported, end-to-end service that fits your structure, risk profile, and growth goals.

1. The easiest to use lone worker mobile app on the market

The best safety tool is the one your lone workers already have to hand.
StaySafe ensures:

• Quick onboarding with in-app training
• No extra devices to charge (or lose) = high adoption rates!

This translates into faster deployment and greater usage, a critical advantage when scaling across a large workforce across departments and locations.

Case study: Veolia

“At the end of the trial, over 92% of Veolia’s trial participants said they would prefer to use the EcoOnline lone worker app compared to our old system.”

4. Unmatched network resilience: Low Signal and Satellite Modes

StaySafe offers more coverage than any other lone worker app. Other solutions rely solely on 4G and 5G for internet connection and can’t send alerts via SMS.

• Low Signal Mode: Alerts and check–ins auto–switch to SMS with just one bar of signal
• Satellite Mode: Go beyond the limits of standard mobile networks coverage and protect your lone workers in the most remote job sites using the iridium satellite network

Fewer signal failures mean fewer missed alerts and a faster, reliable response.

5. Powerfully configurable monitoring & response

Customise incident workflows according to risk profiles:

• Automated check‑ins trigger alerts if missed
• Panic button + two‑way audio enables immediate comms and intervention
• Configurable reporting hub allows SMS, email, voice, and escalation routes
• Flexible monitoring models: in‑house, outsourced to our specialist 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centres (ARCs). You can even combine the two to build a customised service

6. Privacy controls that your employees will buy into

StaySafe reassures your staff and aligns with privacy regulations, boosting adoption and trust.

• Location is only shared during active sessions
• Session history is accessible for reporting – but only with consent 

7. Strong ROI (with minimal investment)

Digital delivery to an existing smartphone is more cost–effective than standalone devices:

• No hardware procurement, maintenance, or replacements
• Deploy to your workforce within 24 hours
• Trusted by 100,000+ lone workers everyday – proving scalability and reliability

Case study: Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council

“We already had a lone worker device, but it wasn’t user friendly, and it didn’t have a wearable device to activate. It was problematic too if one of our workers was attacked. Now all our lone workers have StaySafe.” 

Paul Leonard, Control Room Manager, Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council
