Lone Worker Support

Companies are increasingly realising that taking their Corporate Social Responsibilities seriously is vital in today's changing world. Many have introduced zero tolerance policies towards aggression and violence, but are recognising that the introduction of a policy alone is not enough to protect potentially vulnerable employees.

That's where Octavian can help. From pizza delivery companies to nursing staff, our expertise and innovative solutions are protecting people who may be exposed to high risk environments. Being accompanied by a security officer is not always appropriate, but having the comfort of knowing that one can be on hand within a short timescale can be invaluable. Octavian offers this type of service in addition to more traditional manned guarding contracts.

Technology can play an important part, too. Affordable devices are now available that track a lone worker's position and transmit information to Octavian's 24 hour Control Room much faster than has been previously possible via a mobile telephone. Should assistance be required, this can be rapidly facilitated.

What's more, the device can also monitor, measure and manage Octavian's security patrols, offering clients irrefutable proof that their instructions have been carried out. A panic button allows immediate communication in the event of emergency and radio contact can also be established with the Control Room. Electronic ‘checklists' enable instant confirmation that all is well during patrols - and these messages can be relayed directly to the client if they so wish.
