Every jobsite has someone working alone

Yes. The SOS wearable uses accelerometer and impact sensors to detect sudden falls — from rooftops, scaffolding, ladders, or heavy equipment. When a fall is detected, an alert with GPS coordinates is sent instantly to our 24/7 monitoring centre. Operators attempt to contact the worker and escalate to emergency services if there's no response. No button press required — critical when a worker is unconscious or pinned.

Subcontractors download the Safe Alone app on their own smartphones — no special hardware needed. You can set up separate check-in schedules per trade or per site, and the dashboard gives your safety team visibility across all workers, including subs. For workers without smartphones, phone check-ins from any landline or the satellite device provide full coverage.

Yes — with the right device. Workers can pair the Safe Alone app with a satellite communicator like Zoleo (which uses the Iridium network), or add Rogers Satellite service directly to their phone. Both options let workers send check-ins and GPS location through a satellite link for highway construction, pipeline work, or rural residential builds. The stand-alone SOS wearable does not work in areas with no cell service, so it should be paired with one of these satellite options on truly remote sites.

Every Canadian province requires employers to have a working alone safety plan with regular check-ins and emergency response procedures. Bill C-45 adds personal criminal liability for supervisors and directors who fail to ensure workplace safety. CheckMate automatically documents every check-in, alert, and escalation with timestamps and GPS — creating a complete compliance audit trail.

Our ULC 5-Diamond certified monitoring centre operates 24/7 with live human operators. When a panic alert or fall detection is triggered, operators immediately attempt to contact the worker. If there's no response, they escalate to your designated emergency contacts and dispatch emergency services to the worker's GPS location — typically within minutes of the initial alert.
