Case Study: 3M Enhances Lone Worker Safety with SoloProtect Shield

Enhancing Lone Worker Safety at 3M

3M's Advanced Technical Ceramics factory in Kentucky faced challenges ensuring the safety of its lone workers, particularly forklift drivers who operated in large open spaces and were at risk of accidents like slips, trips, and falls. To mitigate this risk, 3M partnered with the vendor SoloProtect to implement a solution for their lone worker safety needs.

SoloProtect implemented its Shield wearable device, which featured an intuitive touchscreen and a man-down alarm. The solution was user-friendly, discreet, and comfortable, leading to immediate employee adoption. The implementation by SoloProtect significantly enhanced the safety culture at 3M, providing workers with greater security and peace of mind.
