From remote wellsites to offshore rigs, ProTELEC has been protecting energy workers since 1968. Satellite coverage where cell towers don't reach, real-time monitoring, and instant emergency response — backed by 24/7 human operators.
Trusted by energy companies across Western Canada
Remote locations, extreme conditions, and limited connectivity make energy workers some of the most vulnerable lone workers in Canada.
Workers spend days at isolated wellsites where the nearest cell tower is 50+ km away. A medical emergency, equipment failure, or H2S exposure can happen with no way to call for help.
CheckMate's satellite integration sends check-ins and SOS alerts from locations with zero cell coverage — anywhere in Canada, including the most remote wellsites.
Operators work 12-hour shifts alone on drilling rigs and pump jacks. Fatigue, falls, and equipment malfunctions can leave a worker incapacitated with no one nearby to notice.
Automated check-in prompts at set intervals. If a worker doesn't respond, 24/7 operators are alerted within minutes and escalate to emergency services.
Entering tanks, vessels, and pipelines for inspection or maintenance. H2S gas, oxygen-deficient atmospheres, and structural hazards can incapacitate a worker in seconds.
The SOS wearable automatically detects falls and sudden impacts — triggering an alert to the monitoring centre even if the worker is unconscious.
Truck drivers and field techs travel hundreds of kilometres on unmarked resource roads. Vehicle accidents, breakdowns, and weather strand workers far from help.
The dashboard shows every worker's live location. In an emergency, operators can pinpoint the exact GPS coordinates and guide first responders directly to the scene.
-40°C winters, spring breakup flooding, summer wildfire smoke. Energy workers face life-threatening conditions year-round, often without nearby shelter or support.
Real trained operators monitor every alert around the clock. They don't just send a notification — they take action, verify the situation, and dispatch emergency services.
From pipeline inspectors to wellsite operators.
Solo inspections along remote corridors
Long shifts on isolated wellsites

Fieldwork in uncharted territory
One-tap check-ins, instant panic button, and GPS tracking — all from your worker's smartphone.
See who's active, who's checked in, and who needs attention — all on one screen. Map view with live GPS, status indicators, and compliance reports.
Your team works where cell towers don't reach. The Zoleo connects workers from anywhere on earth.
Automatic fall detection for workers facing physical hazards. Triggers an alert if it senses a fall.
No app, no cell signal, no problem. Workers check in from any phone — landline, satellite, or personal — with a simple call to a dedicated number.
A simple, proven system that keeps your lone workers connected and protected — every shift, every day.
Workers receive scheduled check-in prompts via app, call, or satellite device. One tap confirms they're safe.
Missed check-in? Our system immediately flags it. No delay, no assumptions — just instant awareness.
Our ULC-certified operators call the worker, then escalate to supervisors. Real humans, real follow-through.
Every incident is documented. Every worker is accounted for. Peace of mind — backed by 55+ years of expertise.
ULC 5-Diamond certified. When someone misses a check-in, our operators are already calling — not sending another notification.
Over 3.7 million safety checks completed annually across 900+ Canadian organizations.
Over 55 years of security expertise. A proven safety partner for Canadian organizations.
UPSTREAM OPERATOR
"Our field techs used to rely on a buddy system that fell apart on night shifts. CheckMate replaced that with something that actually works 24/7."
PIPELINE COMPANY
"The satellite coverage was the deciding factor. Half our inspection routes have zero cell service — CheckMate still works."
OILFIELD SERVICES
"Deployment was fast. We had 200+ workers on CheckMate within two weeks — and our OHS compliance is now airtight."
Yes. CheckMate integrates with Zoleo satellite devices to provide global coverage — even in the most remote wellsites, pipeline corridors, and northern operations where cell towers don't reach. Workers can check in and trigger emergency alerts from anywhere on earth.
Yes. CheckMate satisfies working alone legislation across all Canadian provinces, including Alberta OHS requirements. Automated check-ins, complete audit trails, incident documentation, and proof of due diligence — everything you need for compliance. We also support Bill C-45 reporting requirements.
Our ULC 5-Diamond certified monitoring centre immediately attempts to contact the worker. If unreachable, we escalate to supervisors and can dispatch emergency services with precise GPS coordinates — critical when a worker is hours from the nearest town.
Most energy clients are fully deployed within 2-3 weeks. CheckMate works on smartphones your crews already carry, so there's no specialized hardware to install at each site. For satellite coverage, we ship pre-configured Zoleo devices ready to pair on arrival.
All CheckMate data is stored in Canada. ProTELEC is a Canadian-owned company headquartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba since 1968. Our ULC 5-Diamond certified monitoring centre operates 24/7 from Canadian facilities — your data never leaves the country.
