Keeping the lights on shouldn't mean working in the dark

The SOS wearable uses accelerometer and impact sensors to detect sudden falls and impacts — like a line worker falling from a pole or a technician collapsing in a confined space. 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.

For underground and confined space work, the best approach is timed check-ins set before entry. If the worker doesn't check in by the deadline, operators escalate immediately. Workers can also check in via a simple phone call from any facility landline. For remote areas with no cell coverage at all, the satellite device communicates via the Iridium satellite network — no cell towers needed.

The dashboard gives dispatchers and safety teams a single view of every active worker across the entire service territory. You can see who's checked in, who's overdue, and where everyone is on a live map. Check-in schedules can be customized per team or per worker — line crews might check in every 15 minutes while a meter reader checks in hourly.

This is exactly what the satellite device is built for. It communicates via the Iridium satellite network, which operates independently of ground-based cell infrastructure. During storms, floods, or any event that takes down cell towers, your workers can still send check-ins, trigger panic alerts, and transmit GPS coordinates to our monitoring centre.

CheckMate is designed to complement your existing safety program, not replace it. Every check-in, alert, and escalation is automatically documented with timestamps, GPS data, and operator actions — creating a complete audit trail that supports your OHS compliance and Bill C-45 due diligence obligations. Our team works with you during setup to align check-in schedules, escalation protocols, and reporting with your current procedures.
