How Garmin InReach and Safetyline keep remote workers safe—anywhere in the world

In today’s remote work environments—where cell coverage is limited or non-existent—reliable communication tools are more critical than ever. That’s why SafetyLine Lone Worker has fully integrated with Garmin, one of the world’s leading GPS and satellite technology companies, to deliver unmatched safety and connectivity for workers in isolated or hazardous environments.

SafetyLine + Garmin: A powerful integration for remote worker safety

Have you switched to a Garmin Professional Account yet? If not, you're missing out on exclusive benefits unlocked through our integration with Garmin’s inReach satellite devices. SafetyLine is now a fully integrated Garmin partner—and we’re proud to be an authorized reseller of Garmin’s cutting-edge satellite technology.

This integration means you can:

  • Track workers in real-time via GPS breadcrumbs inside the SafetyLine dashboard

  • Send and receive detailed messages, not just basic check-ins

  • Trigger interactive SOS alerts to a 24/7 global monitoring center

  • Stay connected through 100% global Iridium satellite coverage—even when completely off the grid

All of this empowers organizations to protect their lone and remote workers with the same SafetyLine features they trust—now supercharged by Garmin’s proven global infrastructure.

Go beyond basic GPS with Garmin inReach

Standard GPS check-ins only provide location updates when a worker manually logs in. But with Garmin inReach and a Garmin Professional subscription, SafetyLine users gain access to continuous tracking and the ability to send complex messages, such as:

“I’m at Power Station 12. Heading to Dark Creek at 2 PM, then home by 3:45 PM.”

This enables supervisors and safety managers to understand worker intent and movement patterns, adding critical context during emergencies.

And if an emergency does occur, Garmin’s inReach SOS feature connects directly to GEOS, a global emergency response coordination center that operates 24/7. Trained staff track the device, contact local emergency responders, and stay connected until the worker is safe.

Why satellite communication Is essential for lone workers

There are over 3,000 satellites orbiting Earth—many of which enable life-saving communication in remote areas. Satellite technology plays a vital role in protecting workers in industries such as:

  • Forestry and natural resources

  • Community healthcare and home visits

  • Utilities and infrastructure

  • Agriculture and ranching

  • Environmental field services

Whether it's a home care worker visiting a rural patient or a utility technician servicing remote infrastructure, satellite connectivity can be the difference between life and death.

Satellite devices are also cost-effective, reliable, and can cover vast geographic regions—making them an ideal companion to your lone worker safety program.

The SafetyLine + inReach advantage

Together, SafetyLine and Garmin inReach offer unmatched protection:

  • Two-way global messaging

  • Automated safety check-ins

  • Fall detection and panic button support

  • Breadcrumb GPS tracking and route history

  • SOS escalation and rescue coordination

No matter where your workers are—from the backcountry to the back roads—this combined solution ensures they stay connected, accounted for, and protected.

Ready to elevate your lone worker safety program?

It’s clear why industries with remote, hazardous, or isolated job sites choose to equip their lone workers with satellite technology. With SafetyLine and Garmin inReach, your team stays connected to the people and support they need—no matter where the job takes them.
