Alicia Mather is the Sales and Operations Director here at First2HelpYou and one of her responsibilities is ensuring that our lone worker service is one of the most comprehensive on the market.
Last week in our interview with David Atkins, he mentioned that the service is what makes First2HelpYou so special so we thought we would catch Alicia and ask her to expand on that…
David Atkins is Head of Product and Implementation here at First2HelpYou and is the brain behind our fabulous KIT lone worker device.
We managed to grab 10 minutes with him for a coffee and a chat to find out what makes the KIT device the best on the lone worker market and how it all came about.
It looks like summer has well and truly departed and we are quickly heading into winter. No fun when you work alone! Being out and about on dark nights presents new hazards and it’s sensible to take extra precautions.
The First2HelpYou team had a great time at the annual Lone Worker Safety Expo in London on Tuesday, speaking to conference visitors about our lone worker solutions and enjoying a varied range of presentations.
It’s now over two years since the Labour MP Jo Cox was murdered. She was simply going about her daily business serving her constituents in Birstall, West Yorkshire, when the perpetrator, Thomas Mair attacked her in the street; he shot Jo then stabbed her twice, she died at the scene.
As we head into autumn, the days are going to become shorter and many people will be travelling to and from work in the dark. For anyone who is lone working, the dark can bring additional hazards and extra precautions must be taken. Here are some tips from First2HelpYou to help reduce the risk for those lone working in the dark, the same applies to those who work regular night time shifts.
Lone worker alarms come in various shapes and sizes, but the best ones are simple devices which can be worn multiple ways. Devices like the First2HelpYou KIT device can be worn on a belt clip or one of the most popular options – as an ID badge.
After our success at the Health and Safety Event earlier this year, First2HelpYou will be joining our friends over at the Lone Worker Safety Expo this October. Read on for more details about this must-attend conference for anyone who manages or works with lone workers.
Employers have a duty to look after and protect their lone workers, but if you work alone you also have an obligation to help keep yourself safe. Our lone worker safety tips can help with that.
Personal safety is so important and when you are out and about, on your own, there is only so much your employer can do to help keep you away from harm. Having your wits about you and being aware of the hazards at all times is as important as carrying a lone worker device or your employer having a good lone worker policy in place.
Working from home is becoming increasingly common. The last set of data from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) shows that the number of home workers in the UK has increased by nearly a quarter of a million over a decade. It is estimated that more than five million people work from home, either all of the time or are able to work flexibly, spending part of their time at home.
