Posted By Rob M Good Morning all, I am currently looking into Lone Worker Risk Assessments for Security Guards. I am interested in lone worker alarms, possibly linked to a monitoring centre. Has anyone any experience in this? Any info would be greatly received. Rob.

Posted By Dave Merchant Lots of threads on here about them - search via the blue box on the right. Also worth checking the www.suzylamplugh.org website for overall guidance on lone worker safety. LW alarms are not a panacea by any means. Chubb are one of the biggest UK providers of the "monitored by a man in a control centre" service, several others are available and you can of course get the devices stand-alone (and program them to notify your own people) - which given you're in security may be a sensible route to explore, as most of the monitored services will react by sending.... a security guard.
