What makes us different?
ProTELEC is more than an alarm company. We deliver preventative, proactive security services tailored to the needs of our clients. Our emphasis on personnel safety has made ProTELEC CheckMate Working Alone the lone worker safety system of choice for organizations across North America.
Our Emergency Monitoring Centre is annually inspected to ensure it meets the demanding requirements for:
- Architectural security features
- Physical structure security features
- Emergency power
- Computer hardware & software
- High standards of operator training
- Operators provide live response 24/7
Our Monitoring Centre was the first in Canada to be certified ‘Five Diamond’ by the Monitoring Association, an organization whose mandate is to maintain the highest standards of excellence in the North American Alarm industry.
Our team of monitoring specialists undergo rigorous training and education to qualify for work in ProTELEC’s Emergency Monitoring Centre (EMC), and are dedicated to ensuring that your workers are safe at all times, in all environments.
The CheckMate suite of products was developed to compliment the services provided by our Emergency Monitoring Centre. Combining powerful safety check tools and emergency alert systems with trained live operators offers greater lone worker protection.
In 2019 alone, CheckMate made over 2 million automated safety checks through our Safe Alone app, texts, and/or automated phone calls, while our operators provided thousands of lone workers with live safety checks and emergency support.

History
In 2003, given the developments and enhancements of lone worker regulations for employers, ProTELEC Alarms responded by introducing a new and innovative service called CheckMate Working Alone.
CheckMate Working Alone offers employers both a service and an operational system that allows for compliance with provincial working alone regulations across Canada.
Today, CheckMate is a full suite of personal protection and lone worker solutions, which now include journey management tools, the powerful Safe Alone app, and discrete panic-button software.
