Lone working is rarely glamorous, but the duty of care is the same. Whether your team is on the road, on a site, in a tenant's home, or covering a night shift, you need a way to know they are safe — and an audit trail to evidence it. Vatix gives you the app, the device, the 24/7 monitoring, and the integration with the rest of your safety platform.

Helping you meet your duty of care to every lone worker
Lone working has its own legal obligations. Here is how Vatix actually helps you meet them in practice.
Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
Employers must, so far as is reasonably practicable, ensure the health, safety, and welfare of every employee. That duty applies just as much to people working alone, off-site, or in high-risk roles.
How Vatix helps
- Every lone worker has a structured way to call for help, using the app, the Safe Pro device, or both, with alerts routed to a 24/7 BS 8484 accredited Alarm Receiving Centre.
- Every SOS, check-in, and welfare event is logged with location, time, and audit trail, so you can evidence that the duty of care has actually been discharged.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Lone worker safety is the protection of employees who work without close or direct supervision. The duty of care under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 applies. Vatix provides an app, a device, and a 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre that together meet the BS 8484:2022 standard for lone worker safety services.
The app suits teams who already carry company smartphones and need structured welfare check-ins. The Safe Pro device suits high-risk roles, areas with patchy mobile coverage, or where a dedicated SOS button is preferable to a phone. Many organisations deploy both.
SOS alerts from the app or device go to a 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre staffed by trained operators. The operators follow an escalation path you configure — contacting the worker, their manager, emergency services, or any combination. The ARC is operated through a partnership with Securitas.
Yes. The full Vatix lone worker service — the app, the Safe Pro device, and the Alarm Receiving Centre — is BS 8484:2022 accredited. BS 8484 is the national standard for lone worker safety services in the UK.
Yes. Vatix holds an active ISO 27001 certification covering the platform, data handling, and operational processes. Data is hosted in UK and EU data centres, with TLS 1.2+ encryption in transit and AES-256 at rest.
