Lone Worker Tracking
A robust lone worker tracking app on the PETRAN platform that combines SOS, man-down detection, smart check-ins, geofencing, and workplace incident management to elevate worker protection and compliance.
Why use Lone Worker Tracking
When people work alone, on night shifts, remote routes, or customer visits-minutes matter. PETRAN unifies a lone worker app, location tracking, SOS/duress, and automated escalations into one workflow so supervisors see status instantly, the worker safety app triggers the right response without delays, and every step is recorded for workplace incident management and audit readiness.
Business Benefits
Lower Risk & Faster Response
Reduce incident severity with one-tap SOS, silent duress, man-down detection, and missed-check escalations orchestrated by the lone worker tracking rules engine.
Compliance You Can Prove
Time-stamped locations, check-ins, and response logs form a defensible audit trail aligned to duty-of-care and HSE policies built into the lone worker safety app.
Efficiency at Scale
Automations replace manual call-ins; supervisors manage many lone workers from a single PETRAN dashboard, improving coverage without extra headcount.
Stronger Workforce Confidence
Visible worker protection tools increase peace of mind, support retention, and reinforce a culture of safety.
Proven in High-Risk Industries
PETRAN protects lone workers across oil & gas, construction, maritime, and utilities ensuring safety, compliance, and rapid response in every environment.
Operational Benefits
Oil & Gas
Pipeline patrols, shutdowns, and tank farm checks supported by geofences, check-ins, and immediate SOS routing through the lone worker tracking app.
Construction
Night guards and punch-list crews use timed check-ins, site geofences, and man-down alerts, improving response and workplace incident management.
Maritime
Dock and engine-room teams gain indoor accuracy via BLE beacons, man-down alerts, and muster-point geofences even with patchy connectivity.
Utilities
Pole and substation crews rely on offline-first tracking, breadcrumb routes, and high-risk zone alerts in a field-ready worker safety app.
Technical Capabilities & Functionalities
Instant SOS & Silent Duress
One-tap SOS and PIN-based duress that transmit live GPS, battery, and context via redundant channels, with receipt confirmations so responders know the alert was delivered and seen.
Best-in-Class Location & Geofencing
Hybrid positioning using GNSS + A-GPS outdoors and BLE proximity indoors, plus polygonal/nested geofences, dwell timers, breadcrumb trails, and high-risk/no-go zone alerts for precise worker protection.
Man-Down via Sensor Fusion
Robust fall/inactivity detection using accelerometer, gyroscope, and barometer with adaptive thresholds, confidence scoring, grace periods, and auto-escalation when a worker can't respond.
Resilient Connectivity & Offline-First Operation
Multi-network support (LTE/5G, LTE-M/NB-IoT, satellite) with store-and-forward smart sync so events cache locally and send when coverage returns no gaps in critical safety data.
Automated Check-Ins & Playbooks
Scheduled check-ins with grace windows, no-code playbooks that drive call trees, SLA timers, and multi-step escalations streamlining workplace incident management without manual chasing.
Secure, Enterprise-Ready Platform
End-to-end encryption (TLS 1.2+), device attestation, role-based access, SSO/SAML, and MDM policy enforcement paired with on-duty tracking windows, retention controls, and regional data residency.
Communications & Event Transport
In-app chat, auto-dial, and templated responses logged to the incident timeline; reliable event transport via MQTT/HTTPS with retries and signing, plus webhooks to ticketing/dispatch for full workplace incident management.
Observability & Operational Analytics
Fleet-level health pings, battery telemetry, version/MDM compliance checks, PETRAN alerts, and dashboards for response times, coverage gaps, and SLA performance so you can prove safety and continuously improve.
