SafetyLine users can now see a more effective visual locator of where lone workers are performing their jobs. This addresses a common and understandable misunderstanding of workers’ locations on the SafetyLine map. Monitors sometimes assume the location pin was accurate because the accuracy of the data wasn’t presented visually. Occasionally, there has been confusion around the fact that the map pin shows the lone worker at an incorrect location. This occurs because of issues caused by imperfections in general GPS location accuracy.

Recently, the BC government released its Restart Plan that lists the steps we can take together as we start to return to the “new normal” from the COVID-19 response. In this plan, we are reminded that it has been our commitment to Work From Home and the following recommendations from authorities that have allowed us to slow the growth of this pandemic. While we should congratulate ourselves on our success thus far in flattening the curve in Brtish Columbia, however, we also need to remember that we’re not out of the weeds yet.
