Facilities management

Lone worker safety for facilities management

Facilities teams move between buildings, plant rooms, roofs and risers, often alone and often out of hours. SafetyEvo keeps each of them connected to a named person in your helpdesk or on-call rota.

The risks your people face

Plant rooms and risers

Confined spaces with poor signal and limited access.

Roof and height work

Falls and weather exposure.

Electrical and mechanical plant

Injury when working on live systems.

Common challenges

  • Large portfolios with mixed teams
  • Out of hours call-outs covered by on-call staff
  • Different escalation for different contracts

How SafetyEvo helps

Ladders per team

Each contract team can have its own escalation, with its own office hours.

Offline buffering

Locations and SOS alerts are kept on the phone in dead spots and sent when signal returns.

Check-in timers

Before entering a plant room or going on a roof.

Incident records

A locked timeline for every alert, for contract and safety reviews.

A working example

A call-out to a plant room

  1. An on-call engineer attends a boiler fault at 21:00 and sets a 45 minute timer: "Basement plant room, Block B".
  2. There is no signal in the basement, so the app holds its location updates.
  3. The engineer finishes, walks out, and taps "I am OK". The buffered trail fills in automatically.
  4. Had they not checked in, the alert would have gone to the on-call manager with the last known location.

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

What you gain

  • Consistent welfare cover across every building
  • Escalation that matches each contract
  • Evidence for client safety audits

Frequently asked questions

Can different contracts have different responders?

Yes. Put each contract team in its own team in SafetyEvo and give it its own escalation ladder.
