Case Study: City of St. John’s improves lone worker safety with SafetyLine Lone Worker

City of St. John’s improves lone worker safety with SafetyLine across 2 water treatment plants

The City of St. John’s Department of Public Works and Water Treatment faced a challenge in ensuring the safety of its lone workers at water treatment plants. Their previous system, which relied on hourly manual check-ins via phone calls, was prone to human error and left employees vulnerable if they forgot to call or had no cell reception in the concrete facilities. To improve occupational health and safety, the city implemented the SafetyLine Lone Worker solution.

SafetyLine provided an automated, cloud-based system that prompts lone workers to check in at predetermined times and sends customized alerts if a check-in is missed. The solution also works in areas with little to no cell coverage and provides location data with each check-in. For the employees, SafetyLine demonstrated that their well-being was a priority, and for management, it saved time and provided reliable oversight, completely replacing the flawed manual system.
