A man down alarm is another name for a lone working device or lone worker alarm. Often a man down alarm specifically refers to the type of device used to protect lone workers who are at higher risk of a slip, trip or fall. Other types of lone worker include those that work by themselves for some or all of their day, those that work by themselves and come into contact with the public, and those who work alone and have special medical needs. A man down alarm typically has a built-in fall detector, making it best suited for professions who have higher risk of falling while at work. This includes people who work at height, who work with chemicals or who work around water or slippery surfaces. Both of SureSafe’s lone working devices include fall detection as standard, so they are true man down alarms as well.
