Field worker safety for engineers on the move

Field engineers spend their day at other people’s premises: homes, plant rooms, rooftops and roadside cabinets. SafetyEvo lets your service desk see that each engineer is safe, job by job.

The risks your people face

Customer premises

Unfamiliar sites and occasionally hostile customers.

Driving

Long distances and late returns.

Technical hazards

Electrical, gas and mechanical work alone.

Common challenges

  • Engineers spread across a large area
  • Jobs that overrun
  • Service desks that already juggle scheduling

How SafetyEvo helps

A timer per job

Set a check-in timer at the start of each visit, with the job address as the note.

SOS with location

The desk sees exactly where the engineer is.

Live map

See everyone on shift, with battery and last contact.

Silent phone alerts

If an engineer’s phone goes quiet, the desk is asked to call.

A working example

A difficult customer visit

  1. An engineer arrives at a domestic boiler repair and sets a 60 minute timer with the address.
  2. The customer becomes aggressive. The engineer leaves, and in the van enters their duress PIN when the customer follows them out and demands they cancel.
  3. The screen shows cancelled; the desk sees a duress alert, follows its procedure and does not mention the alert when calling.

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

What you gain

  • Safety cover that follows the job
  • Fewer calls from the desk to check on people
  • Records for each visit where something went wrong

Frequently asked questions

Can engineers use the app while driving?

The app is designed to be used before and after driving, not during. Location sharing works in the background with the phone in a cradle or pocket.
