Reliable protection for lone workers and teams alike
Man down system: compliant, certified, and ready for deployment
A lone worker should never truly be alone. With a man down system, help is never far away. If an employee falls, remains motionless, misses an interval check or activates the emergency button, colleagues, security personnel or an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) are alerted immediately.
MultiBel’s man down system protects lone workers using four intelligent features: fall detection, motion detection, interval monitoring and an emergency button. The solution is available as a smartphone app or as a dedicated standalone device, helping organisations meet their duty of care.
Whether you employ security officers, engineers, laboratory staff, production workers or healthcare professionals, MultiBel helps improve the safety of employees who work alone or in high-risk environments.
Three pillars – one platform
The power of the MultiBel man down alarm
Man down alarm with five-fold certainty
To ensure safety, MultiBel can send alarms via various channels. The way in which someone can be reached varies from person to person, but also from moment to moment. The more channels you use to send an alarm, the greater the chance of reaching that person, even if your own infrastructure is damaged as a result of the disaster.
App
Telephone
SMS
Desktop
MultiBel reaches people via the Man Down App, if there is no response, the person is called on a maximum of 10 telephone numbers per person, we send an email, SMS and can also alert desktops if necessary. Until the person confirms that he can respond to a colleague’s call for help.
More than a Man Down App
Man down alarm – what are the obligations?
With regard to lone workers, there are specific regulations for certain professions such as divers. In addition, young people under the age of 18 are not allowed to work without supervision. For most professions, the employer must identify all situations in which employees work alone. These situations are described in the risk inventory and evaluation. This describes who works alone, where and when. In addition, the employer must describe what measures are required to combat possible risks.
Every employer is responsible for the safety of personnel working alone. Employers must arrange the following matters:
- See whether working alone can be avoided
- Make an inventory of all risks when carrying out the work
- Take additional control measures
- Establish procedures for working alone
- Provide information to employees about working alone
- Supervise, depending on the risks
Our man down app recognizes a fall or when users stop moving. In addition, employees have the option to start an alarm via the app via an emergency button. Through attendance registration, the man down system knows which employees are present. In addition, the persons present are informed of the location of the incident. This way time can be saved.
Would you rather call a Alarm Receiving Centre? Or escalate if no one responds? In the system you can set who will be called per scenario.
How does our man down system work
Our certified Man Down System automatically generates an alarm when the smartphone detects a fall or significant impact, when an employee remains motionless for a predefined period, or when the emergency button is pressed.
The parameters of the Man Down App are fully configurable, allowing you to determine exactly when an alarm should be triggered. For example, if the configured threshold for fall detection is exceeded, a pre-alarm is activated first. The duration of this pre-alarm can also be configured, giving the user the opportunity to cancel the alert in the event of a false alarm. If the pre-alarm is not cancelled, the system automatically sends an alarm to colleagues, security personnel or an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC).
One of the key advantages of a Man Down System is that it can raise an alarm even when an employee is unable to call for help themselves, for example due to unconsciousness, a fall or a medical emergency. For this reason, the system is widely used in high-risk working environments, such as locations where there is a risk of slipping or falling, by lone workers, employees with medical conditions, or staff who regularly face aggression, violence or other hazardous situations.
