Two Way Radio Lone Worker

Lone Worker Explained

Lone Worker is a feature found on many two way radios where it's able to send a pre-determined signal, for example a distress call or alarm, to other radios in range, after a period of radio inactivity.

Example of Lone Worker

An example of this is the radio can be set to require the radio operator to interact with his or her radio once every 30 minutes. If they fail to do so, their radio will start making an audible sound. If there is still no interaction with his or her radio within 1 further minute, a alarm will sound to other team members to tell them a team member is not responding to Lone Worker.

The supervisor can then dispatch another team member to the non-response team member's last known location to offer assistance.
