Regular Safety Checks when Working Alone or in Isolation
Automated Safety Checks – This feature is available for any staff that work alone, at any time. Safety Checks are turned on by a simply tapping the Activate button.
When activated, the CheckMate Safe Alone App completes in initial ‘check-in’ and a large checkmark indicates it went through. The App also displays the current Safety Check frequency and a clock indicating when your next automated Safety Check will occur.
‘Proactively’ check-in at any time by tapping the Check-In button
- If you do not check-in proactively, your first automated Safety Check will occur via a Text message (or optional phone call).
- If you miss the first Safety Check Text, your second automated Safety Check will occur via a phone call only, which can be set to occur in ‘X’ minutes after the initial Text message (Options for 2,3,5,10,15 & 20 minutes)
- If you miss this automated call, a Missed Safety Check Alarm is generated in ProTELEC’s 24/7 ULC certified Emergency Monitoring Centre, where your predefined list of Alert Contacts will now be notified.
