Exclusive pricing plan for NHS and government lone worker safety
(13/11/2007)

Argyll has announced an exclusive offer for the NHS and local and central government, available until the end of March 2008.

Included in the offer is a choice of bespoke lone worker safety devices including the new MobiCare GPS and IdentiCare. Services can also be operated using existing mobile phones. Public sector clients will also benefit from a financial contribution contribution toward specialist lone working training delivered either through the NHS CFSMS or via conflict management specialist Maybo.

Tom Morton, Managing Director commented: “Every lone worker’s requirements are different – therefore there can be no genuinely effective one-size-fits-all solution and this is the reason why Argyll uniquely offers a choice of services and devices.”

“The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act are steering the health & safety agenda of each and every organisation. Controlling the risks associated with lone working has never been more prominent and Argyll is committed to enabling clients to operate safe working practices using mobile technology to deliver a robust lone worker system.”

Argyll’s services currently monitor in excess of 17,000 lone workers including NHS and Local Authority personnel – ranging from community midwives and ambulance crews to parking attendants and neighbourhood wardens - throughout the UK. With active time-at-risk monitoring, passive location monitoring and discreet duress facilities, implementation of Argyll’s solutions significantly aids compliance with current health and safety legislation and fully meets employers’ Duty of Care.
