Lone worker safety for cleaning teams

Cleaning often happens when everyone else has gone home: early mornings, late evenings and weekends, in buildings that are otherwise empty. SafetyEvo makes sure someone knows each cleaner is on site and safe.

The risks your people face

Slips, trips and falls

Wet floors, stairs and ladders with nobody around to help.

Chemicals

Exposure to cleaning products in small or poorly ventilated rooms.

Empty buildings

Working alone in large premises out of hours.

Common challenges

  • Many small sites with one or two cleaners each
  • Staff who start very early or finish very late
  • Supervisors who cannot visit every site every day

How SafetyEvo helps

Start shift on arrival

The supervisor sees who is on site, and where, on the live map.

Check-in timers for higher risk tasks

For example cleaning a plant room or working at height.

Silent phone alerts

If a phone goes quiet, a supervisor is asked to call.

Simple for staff

One large Start shift button and one SOS button. Nothing else to learn.

A working example

A fall in an empty office at 06:10

  1. A cleaner starts their shift at a client office and sets a 30 minute timer while cleaning the stairwell.
  2. They slip and cannot reach their phone. The timer runs out.
  3. After the grace period the server raises a missed check-in at the stairwell location and texts the area supervisor.
  4. The supervisor acknowledges, cannot reach the cleaner, and calls the client’s key holder and 999.

An illustrative scenario. Names and times are not from a real incident.

What you gain

  • Supervisors know who is on site without phoning round
  • A record of welfare cover for each site
  • Works on staff’s own phones

Frequently asked questions

Do cleaners need to be tech savvy?

No. The app is one big button to start the shift and one to raise an alert. It checks its own settings and tells staff what to fix.
