Hi all, does anyone have any recommendations for lone worker alarms? They need to be able to work in all sorts of locations, including underground.

Thanks

Not sure of any that will work underground as they tend to work on GPS.

We are just started to use Guardian 24 for our site on call staff.

There are many different systems out there but it sounds as if you need a specialised one that has 'beacons' that you install that can be used where there are no mobile phone signals etc. I have used Guardian (colleagues didnt like it) and then transferred to Alertcom who were good (still had issues with colleagues not liking). If you do an internet search you will find a range of products. Be clear of exactly what you want before engaging with the companies as I have found the industry the most unpleasant to deal with in regards to sales - all sorts of bad and poor practice.
