How scheduling worksLone worker safety, automated
Nobody clocks off unaccounted for.
Not A Lone Worker runs automated welfare check-ins by SMS, app and AI voice call — and when someone goes quiet, it escalates to real people until a human takes ownership.

To build a check-in schedule
How it protects
Schedule it once. It watches every shift.
Three simple stages run automatically in the background — you only hear about it when someone needs help.
Check in
Workers confirm they’re safe from a persistent app link, an SMS reply, or a tap of “I’m safe”. A nudge fires if they’re late.
Automated check-insEscalate
Still quiet? “Zoe” makes an AI voice call, then the escalation ladder alerts real people until someone acknowledges.
Escalation & alertsEverything in one platform
Built for the moment a check-in doesn’t come back
Every feature exists to close the gap between “they’ve gone quiet” and “someone is helping them”.
Automated Check-Ins
Recurring daily check-in windows by SMS, email and app. A grace window and nudge before anything escalates.
Learn moreAI Voice Calls
When a worker stays quiet, our AI voice caller “Zoe” phones them, holds a natural conversation and reads safe or distress.
Learn moreEscalation & Alerts
A sequential escalation ladder to real people, each step needing a real acknowledgement before the alert moves on.
Learn morePanic & SOS
A panic / SOS button any time, plus HELP and SOS text keywords — an instant distress signal with the worker’s location.
Learn moreShifts & Locations
Shift monitoring with START and DONE, plus each check-in’s GPS — see who is on shift and where they last confirmed safe.
Learn moreCompliance & Audit
A full audit trail of every check, reply and escalation, with PDF and CSV evidence reports to show your duty of care.
Learn moreSelf-check-in first
One tap, and they’re back to work.
There’s nothing for your workers to install and no new app to learn. When a check-in is due they get a message, tap “I’m safe” and carry on — their location logged automatically. Nothing to remember, nothing in the way.
A phone call only happens if someone actually goes quiet. Miss a check-in past the grace window and “Zoe”, our AI caller, rings to make sure they’re alright — so a real conversation is there for the moment it matters, and a normal shift is never interrupted.

Who it’s for
Protecting people who work alone, everywhere
If your team splits up, works out of hours or visits sites solo, they shouldn’t be out of contact.
Evidence, not just intentions
Show you took your duty of care seriously.
Under UK health-and-safety law, employers are responsible for the safety of lone workers. Not A Lone Worker gives you the paper trail to prove you acted on it.
- Every check, reply, nudge and escalation timestamped and stored.
- Downloadable PDF and CSV evidence reports for any period or worker.
- A clear record of who was alerted, when, and who acknowledged it.

Building an escalation ladder that actually gets answered
A missed check-in is only useful if it reaches someone who acts. Here's how to build an escalation ladder that keeps climbing until a real person responds.
SMS vs app vs AI voice call: choosing the right check-in channel
The channel you use for welfare check-ins shapes how many people actually do them. Here's an honest comparison of SMS, a dedicated app, and an automated voice call.

BS 8484 comes up in almost every lone worker device conversation — often as a badge with little explanation. Here's what the British Standard actually addresses.
