SafetyLine Lone Worker Reviews

Pros

It turned out to be a very easy system to use. It helped our staff report in a more effective way and gave our team clear visibility into employees working outside regular hours.

Cons

Honestly everything worked really well. We only stopped using it because we no longer have a night shift.

Pros

This software made a noticeable difference in staff psychological safety. We're spending less time trying to locate employees during emergencies, response times for potential incidents have improved and it has also helped with staff accountability and overall time management.

Cons

Something I'd still like to see in the company user history report for Report GPS is an option to display the nearest streets or avenues instead of only GPS coordinates. The coordinates are useful but in a field emergency there may not be enough time to backtrack and check each individual coordinate.

Pros

After the initial setup is done, using it day to day is pretty simple.

Cons

Automated alerts can't directly reach lone workers through their inReach or SPOT devices when a check in is missed. The automated calls to the worker's cell phone often don't help since they're usually outside cell coverage and unless the monitor has that worker's specific inReach programmed into their phone, there's no way to contact the inReach or SPOT device.

Pros

The customer service feels very personal and I really appreciated being able to troubleshoot directly with an actual person.

Cons

I havent come across anything to complain about yet.

Pros

Getting this up and running for our CHWs wasnt too difficult and it's simple for them to use. The app works really well and the online tools have been very helpful too.

Cons

A downside is that the emergency button can be triggered pretty easily if the phone screen isn't locked.

Pros

Even though I only use the software one day a month, it still feels very user friendly every time I log in. It's easy to sign in, check in during the day and log out again when I'm finished.

Cons

Can't think of anything negative that I've noticed.

Pros

Honestly it gives me peace of mind by noticing when I haven't logged out and then following up which is exactly the kind of backup I want.

Cons

It won't function without cell coverage and that's often the very situation where it would be needed the most.

Pros

Very easy to use with responsive customer support. Logging in and updating while on the go is very simple and convenient.

Cons

Nothing to mention here.

Pros

Switching between the desktop and mobile versions is quick which has been a big plus. The customizable check ins are easy to use and genuinely very useful. I also really appreciate how simple the setup is for using inReach devices.

Cons

Sign in page feels a bit slow at times. It's not terrible but I do think it could be better.

Pros

Training can be completed at the same time as setting up call out routing to multiple responders which is really practical. The onboarding support from their team was excellent as well.

Cons

One thing that could make it even better is having more options for contacting the user if they miss a check in. It would also help if the first responder apps could override silenced alarms and send a loud, distinct alert something that really gets your attention.

Pros

Our staff can use it without much trouble, at least when they actually remember to use it.

Cons

There was a bit of a learning curve at first especially making sure no one accidentally pressed the panic or emergency alert button on their devices or phones.

Pros

From a field user's point of view, the software is simple to use and easy to understand.

Cons

Works well with my team so I dont have any complaints.

Pros

Whenever someone from our team is heading out alone, we can turn the system on as needed. It keeps track of their location and flags any problems if they miss a check in which makes it very useful for lone worker safety.

Cons

The mobile app interface on the phone could be clearer and easier to navigate.

Pros

Using the app is very easy and I really appreciate the dashboard because it lets me review the history of where I've been.

Cons

The breadcrumb feature tends to use too much data and I don't always receive alerts when it's time for me to check in.

Pros

Quick to install and get running and it's very accurate while staying simple to use day to day.

Cons

It could use a clearer warning right before an alert is sent.

Pros

Pretty easy to use and having the app right on my phone makes it really convenient.

Cons

Frustrating that it only works where there's cell service and in our field areas we run into a lot of dead zones.

Pros

Delivers dependable monitoring, is easy to use and saves managers a lot of time when overseeing employees in the field.

Cons

Getting everything configured for all users, monitors and groups takes a decent amount of effort at the start. Once it's fully set up though, it performs very well.

Pros

It fits well into our day to day safety routines.

Cons

I have to keep mobile data turned on on my iPhone and the ongoing data cost gets expensive.

Pros

Using the phone app works well and it's simple to use as long as you have a data plan.

Cons

One issue nurses keep mentioning is that it uses a lot of data on their personal phones especially since IHA doesn't provide a work cell or data access. It would also help to have a reminder ding or alarm so check ins aren't forgotten.

Pros

Having SafetyLine with me really helps me feel more secure while I'm out working. Dealing with sketchy clients and bad weather can be stressful and this gives me extra peace of mind and takes a lot of that stress away.

Cons

Only problem I've had is actually my own fault because I sometimes forget to end the monitoring session. Since I don't usually carry my phone packed away with me, it has led to my contacts getting called and everyone freaking out trying to find me. Lol
