Mercari lone worker safety solutions expands to serve United Kingdom with its latest 4G SOS GPS device specificity designed for UK Lone workers. UK Legislation specifically addressing the safety of UK lone workers has fostered growth allowing Mercari to develop a safety solution that is simple to use, but utilizes the very latest technology.

Designed to operate as a fully mobile personal emergency response system (mPers), the Mercari Lone Worker Device goes outside conventional lone worker solutions by sending duress signals via SMS to up to 10 work colleagues, emergency contacts or remote monitoring stations. It not only alerts the emergency contacts but also provides location data using GPS, WIFI, or Cell Tower triangulation. Additionally, the device can establish voice communication with emergency contacts or dial 999 emergency services directly, ensuring swift and efficient response protocols.

"Even with the best health and safety policies in place, incidents still happen. Slips, trips and falls are by far the most widespread forms of injury; however growing physical attacks against employees or sudden medical events such as heart attack may also arise. Mercari Limited has a device that can mitigate those risks in a place of work for a relatively small investment" says Sebastian Guang, Mercari Lone Worker Device spokesman.

Lone workers often work in dangerous environments that present various life-threatening threats, including falls, trips and slips as well as exposure to toxic vapours, electric shocks or assault. No matter where the worker may be working - be it at client homes, construction zones or traveling between meetings they are exposed to numerous risks that could endanger their safety. The Mercari mPERS Lone worker device is also equipped with sensors for automatic fall detection, a critical requirement for employees who work at heights. Falls can lead to serious injuries, and prompt medical attention is crucial. The Mercari mPERS Lone Worker device can detect a fall and send an alert to emergency services or designated contacts, ensuring help arrives quickly, even if the user is incapacitated and unable to activate the SOS button. It has additional features such as Man Down Alarm (No-Motion detection), over speed alert and welfare timers.

As more companies and organizations understand the value of lone worker safety devices, adoption of mPERS technology is becoming more accessible. The Mercari Limited experience within the Lone Worker safety market place in North America have made it possible to bring its integrated Lone worker solution to the UK, having developed its device to suit the United Kingdom/Europe cellular networks. Sebastian Guang says "We are proud to be able to bring this technology to the UK and provide a safety solution that benefits a wide variety of lone worker situations"
