How CheckMate Works

Complete protection in four simple steps. No smartphone required — safety checks work via app or standard phone line.

1

Schedule Safety Checks

Your admin configures check-in frequency per worker, shift, or task. Flexible from every 30 minutes to every 4 hours.

2

Workers Check In

One tap in the app or answer a phone call. No smartphone required — safety checks work via standard phone line too.

3

Missed? Escalation Begins

Text reminder, then automated call, then alarm at the monitoring centre. Configurable grace period per worker.

4

Trained Operator Responds

A real person at ProTELEC's Five Diamond monitoring centre assesses and takes action — in under 60 seconds.

The Complete Lone Worker Protection System

Everything your organization needs for lone worker safety and compliance.

5 Diamond ULC-Certified Monitoring

The highest certification in Canada. Professional-grade emergency monitoring — not just a call center.

Scheduled Safety Checks + Panic Button

Dual-layer protection: automated safety checks at set intervals plus an instant emergency panic button.

Sub-60 Second Response Time

When an alarm triggers, a trained operator responds in under 60 seconds. Not minutes. Not hours.

GPS Location Tracking

Real-time coordinates with every safety check and alert. Operators know exactly where your worker is.

Real-Time Dashboard

See every worker's status, location, and schedule at a glance from any browser. Full audit trail included.

No Smartphone Required

Safety checks work via standard phone line — not just an app. Your workers don't need a smartphone to stay protected.

Many Apps Send Alerts. We Take Action.

When a safety check is missed or the panic button is pressed, here's exactly what happens — not in hours, in seconds.

1
Safety check due
Worker doesn't check in
The scheduled safety check goes unanswered. The clock starts.
2
Immediate
Push notification + text reminder
The app sends an alert and text message to the worker. Maybe they were busy — this is the nudge.
3
Configurable window
Automated phone call
Still no response. The system calls the worker directly. The grace period is configurable per worker — from 2 to 20 minutes.
4
Call unanswered
Alarm triggers at monitoring centre
A trained operator at ProTELEC's Five Diamond ULC-certified centre receives the alarm with full context: worker name, location, schedule, emergency contacts.
Under 60 seconds
Human operator responds
The operator assesses the situation, contacts designated emergency contacts — immediately or staggered — and dispatches help if needed. Real people. Real response.

Common Questions

Quick answers to the questions we hear most from safety managers and operations teams.

Yes. Every Canadian province and territory has OHS legislation requiring procedures for checking on lone workers. Beyond provincial acts, Bill C-45 (the Westray Bill) creates criminal liability for organizations and individuals who fail to take reasonable steps to protect worker safety.

Lone worker monitoring isn't optional — it's a legal obligation. See your province's requirements.

No. The Safe Alone App works on any smartphone, but safety checks also work via standard phone call — no app needed. For remote sites with no cell coverage, CheckMate's satellite device connects via the Iridium network with 100% global coverage.

Trained operators act immediately. Text reminder, then automated phone call, then a live operator at our Five Diamond monitoring centre receives the alarm with full context — worker name, GPS location, emergency contacts. The entire escalation happens in seconds, not hours.

24/7 human monitoring — alerts go to trained operators who take action, not just notifications to a supervisor's phone. Complete coverage — our satellite device protects workers with zero cell service. Canadian compliance depth — built around Canadian OHS legislation with automated Bill C-45 documentation.

We're backed by ProTELEC's 50+ years of monitoring heritage — not a startup trying to solve safety with software alone.

The Safe Alone App can be set up in minutes. Full onboarding — customized schedules, escalation protocols, emergency contacts, and team training — typically takes 1-2 weeks. Our team handles the configuration so your safety managers don't have to become IT experts.

Simple per-user, per-month pricing with no long-term contracts. Everything is included — app access, 24/7 monitoring, GPS tracking, dashboard, compliance reporting, and support. No hidden fees, no setup charges. Get a custom quote.
