Lone workers face real dangers every day.

From healthcare to utilities, millions of employees work alone without immediate access to help. When emergencies happen, every second counts.

15%of workforce works alone
68% of companies had a lone worker incident in 3 years
19% of lone workers struggled to get help after an accident
1,057 workplace fatalities in Canada (2023)

Three layers of protection that work together.

CheckMate combines smart technology, human monitoring, and rapid response into one seamless safety system. When one layer triggers, they all activate.

Most apps send an alert. We respond to it.

Other tools rely on supervisors or coworkers to monitor alerts. That works until someone's in a meeting, out sick, or asleep at 3 AM. Our Five Diamond ULC-certified monitoring centre is staffed around the clock by trained emergency operators.

Hear from safety professionals who trust CheckMate to protect their teams

"CheckMate allows our staff to feel connected and safe while working outside of their usual office and allows supervisors to concentrate on other matters knowing their staff are accounted for."

"The application is easy for workers to use and for myself as a Health and Safety Professional to monitor and ensure compliance. Implementation was seamless."

"The system itself is robust and user friendly. From a management perspective, the visibility to its uptake and usage is a strong data driven feedback loop."

Safe Alone App Pricing

Our flagship mobile solution — everything your lone workers need in one app

No Hidden Fees. No Surprises. No Monitoring Surcharges.

With CheckMate, human-powered protection is built in from day one. No surprise fees when you actually need someone monitoring.

Beware the Hidden Cost of "Cheap" Apps

Many app-only solutions advertise low per-user rates, then charge extra for actual human monitoring. When you add it up, they often cost more — and you still don't get 24/7 professional response.

Need Something Beyond the App?

Safe Alone works for most teams — and safety checks don't require a smartphone. Workers can receive and respond to scheduled checks via any phone, including landlines. But some workers need something more — a wearable device, a desktop panic button, satellite coverage, or a way to report incidents. Explore our specialized solutions below.

Desktop Panic

eALERT

Your team works at desks, reception areas, retail counters, or facilities where they may face threats. They can't pull out a phone when someone's standing in front of them. eALERT is a silent panic button that lives in your computer's taskbar. One click sends an immediate alert to our monitoring centre.

Taskbar icon — always visible, always accessible
Multiple button types — duress, medical, hold-up, lockdown
Silent alert — no sound, no visible indicator to aggressor
Best for:

Healthcare reception, retail, banking, schools, government offices, property management

Fall Detection

SOS Wearable

Your workers face physical hazards — heights, heavy machinery, remote terrain. If they're injured or incapacitated, they might not be able to reach a phone. The SOS pendant has automatic fall detection. If it senses a fall or prolonged lack of motion, it triggers an alert automatically.

Automatic fall detection — triggers even if unconscious
GPS location tracking with every alert
Two-way voice communication with operators
Best for:

Construction, utilities, manufacturing, warehousing, oil & gas, field maintenance

SOS Wearable Device
Off-Grid Coverage

Satellite & Remote Monitoring

Your team works where cell towers don't reach — remote job sites, rural areas, northern territories, underground. The Zoleo satellite communicator connects your workers to CheckMate from anywhere on earth. Built-in SOS and safety check buttons work even if their phone is dead.

Iridium satellite network — global coverage
Built-in SOS button with GPS coordinates
Seamless handoff to cell/Wi-Fi when available
Best for:

Mining, forestry, northern operations, remote infrastructure, oil & gas field work

Compliance

Incident Reporting System

When incidents happen — near-misses, injuries, safety concerns — you need them documented. CheckMate's Health & Safety Reporting System lets workers report incidents 24/7 by phone or online. Supervisors get instant alerts with secure links to the full report.

24/7 availability — report by phone or online
Searchable dashboard with call recordings
Audit-ready documentation for compliance
Best for:

Organizations with regulatory requirements, teams building safety culture

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can we get started?

Most teams are fully operational within 24 hours. We handle account setup and can walk your team through the app in a short onboarding call.

How do safety checks work?

When a scheduled safety check comes due, the worker is notified to check in. On the Safe Alone app, they tap a button. No smartphone? No problem — workers can also receive and respond to safety checks via a regular phone call on any device, including landlines. They can check in proactively at any time, too. If someone misses a safety check, our system calls them automatically. No response triggers an alarm and our Five Diamond certified monitoring centre takes action immediately.

What if my workers don't have smartphones or are in areas without cell service?

No smartphone needed. Safety checks can be delivered and answered via any phone — landlines, basic cell phones, or satellite devices. For truly off-grid locations, we offer Zoleo satellite communicators with built-in SOS and safety check buttons. Your team stays protected regardless of their technology or location.

Can I combine multiple solutions?

Yes. Most organizations use Safe Alone as their primary solution, then add eALERT for office staff, SOS for high-risk roles, or satellite for remote workers.

What's included in a consultation?

We'll assess your team's safety needs, recommend the right solution mix, and show you exactly how CheckMate works. No pressure, no commitment.

How does billing work?

Pricing is per worker, per month. No setup fees, no hardware costs, no long-term contracts. Contact us for a custom quote.
