From agriculture to healthcare, we understand Manitoba's unique working conditions
Farmers, grain operators, and agricultural workers across Manitoba's vast farmlands work alone every day. CheckMate keeps them connected when they're hours from help.
Home care nurses, community health workers, and mental health professionals travel alone across Manitoba communities, facing unpredictable situations every day.

Real protection, in the words of the people responsible for keeping Manitoba's lone workers safe
"Our workers work alone on weekends, and CheckMate is a very useful tool to check in on our team safety."
"The application is easy for workers to use, and for me as a Health and Safety Professional to monitor and ensure compliance. Implementation was seamless."
"CheckMate allows our staff to feel connected and safe while working outside of their usual office, and lets supervisors concentrate on other matters knowing their staff are accounted for."
