Case Study: Altwood Group achieves enhanced lone-worker safety and real-time monitoring with StaySafe

StaySafe keeps vulnerable housing sector workers safe in the field

Altwood Group, a provider of property services to local authorities, landlords and developers, faced the common housing-sector challenge of keeping lone workers safe while they visited empty properties, building sites and met clients alone. To meet its duty of care and address risks such as verbal or physical abuse or accidents, Altwood adopted StaySafe’s lone worker solution — StaySafe Business, an award‑winning personal security app and monitoring service that can run on smartphones and tablets.

Altwood migrated to StaySafe Business in 2014 and now runs the app on staff iPads, using StaySafe’s check‑in/check‑out and real‑time location tracking through the monitoring hub to accurately monitor safety even while employees travel between locations. The StaySafe solution proved easy to use, improved compliance because staff “rarely forget to use it,” and gave Altwood confidence that employees are safe at all times; Altwood reports the app’s features, accuracy and ease of use outperform previous devices and they recommend StaySafe to others.
