Join the #1 Newsletter in Lone Worker Safety

With nearly 5 billion smartphone users, mobile technology has transformed how we live, work—and stay safe. In home healthcare, where staff often work alone in unpredictable settings, lone worker solutions play a vital role in protecting those without direct supervision.

A successful lone worker program can mean the difference between safety and serious harm. For employees who work alone or in isolated environments, these programs serve as a dedicated safety net—ensuring support is available in the event of an emergency, injury, or medical issue on the job. 

What are your top safety priorities for 2025? Is lone worker safety one of them? If it is a major priority within your organization, then choosing the right lone worker monitoring tool should be, too. The right technology can mean the difference between a near-miss and a tragedy—and ensure your team stays connected, compliant, and protected no matter where the job takes them. 

For non-profit organizations, ensuring the safety of their employees—many of whom work in unpredictable environments—is a top priority. Sharon, a long-time user of SafetyLine, has experienced firsthand how the system benefits both frontline workers and supervisors. Her journey with SafetyLine spans over six years, evolving from a user in the field to a supervisor responsible for her team’s well-being. 

In order to protect people in the caregiver industry from the increasing occupational hazards of workplace violence, home healthcare workers must be provided with the proper caregiver safety solutions providing features that can address the complex, challenging work environments they must work in.

At some point in our lives, we are likely to require the services and support of a home healthcare worker. We could be helping a loved one or ourselves with professional medical, mobility, or other types of help in the comfortable environment of our homes. However, this excellent service to the community comes with a significant risk to the safety of the workers. There are approximately 3.2 million home health and personal care aides in the United States.

Government bodies are taking steps to protect home healthcare workers. However, are the measures enough to protect these people from the serious safety challenges that they are facing every day? And are these measures being implemented fast enough with violence against healthcare workers increasing in both frequency and severity.
