Workers skip manual check-ins. Devices trigger constant false alarms. Coverage disappears in remote areas. And when audits come, there’s no reliable proof. Instead of protecting your teams, most systems create more work, more doubt, and more liability.
Constant false alarms drain trust and waste time, leaving real emergencies at risk.
In remote sites, protection disappears. An SOS that never gets through is no protection at all.
Complex tools, endless check-ins, and privacy concerns drive workers to reject safety systems.
Without traceable reports, audits and investigations expose costly gaps.
The two terms often come up together in your regulatory obligations, but they refer to different realities. Understanding the distinction is essential to choosing the right device for your lone workers.
The PTI is the legal obligation to protect any employee working alone in a situation that may expose them to danger. It follows from article L.4121-1 of the Labor Code (1991): the employer must assess the risks and take the necessary measures to ensure the safety of its isolated employees.
DATI is the technical device that implements the PTI. It detects an emergency situation (fall, immobility, manual SOS) and triggers an automatic alert to the emergency services. It can take the form of a mobile application, a smartwatch, a dedicated box or a satellite device.
Neovigie eliminates false alarms, keeps workers connected even in dead zones, and drives adoption with simple tools that teams actually use.

Expert in Lone Worker solutions
.png){kind=small}
Benoît Pauillac is in charge of customer support at Neovigie. An expert in lone worker solutions, he supports companies in optimizing the protection of their workers by ensuring responsive monitoring and an optimal user experience.
“Above all, good support is attentive listening and a quick response.”
A lone worker solution is essential for ensuring the safety and well-being of employees who work alone or in isolated conditions. Here's why businesses should implement one:
Investing in a lone worker solution is more than meeting legal obligations—it's a proactive step toward creating a safer, more efficient workplace.
The protection of lone workers involves a comprehensive approach that combines prevention, training, and advanced technical solutions to ensure their safety. Key aspects include:
By combining these elements, businesses can provide effective protection for their lone workers, ensuring safety, compliance with legal obligations, and peace of mind for both employees and employers.
Lone worker apps are widely used in industries such as:
Costs vary depending on the devices and features required. Typically, prices range from $15 to $20 per user per month, with additional fees for installation, training, and maintenance.
Improved Peace of Mind: Lone workers feel safer, and employers gain confidence in their safety measures.
The Neovigie alert system is designed for simplicity and ease of use, requiring no specialized training. Lone workers can activate an alarm button in the event of an emergency or danger, ensuring a rapid response.
One of its standout features is real-time geolocation, which enables organizations and security teams to pinpoint the worker's location. This capability ensures that assistance can reach the worker quickly, enhancing safety and peace of mind.
A Lone Worker Alarm system is essential for protecting employees who work alone, helping organizations comply with occupational health and safety regulations.
This system is particularly important for workers in isolated or high-risk environments, as it provides:
Neovigie offers a comprehensive suite of alarms to ensure the safety of lone workers:
In the United States, there is no specific federal law requiring lone worker protection systems. However, under the OSHA General Duty Clause, employers are legally required to provide a safe working environment. If a worker is alone in a high-risk setting, the employer must implement appropriate safety measures. Using a solution such as Neovigie is considered best practice and may be necessary based on a proper risk assessment.
Fall detection and loss of verticality are two features that are often used in lone worker safety devices. While they may seem similar, they have fundamental differences.
Fall detection is a feature that uses the mobile accelerometer to recognize when a person falls suddenly. It analyzes data to detect sudden changes in movement, orientation, and speed that correspond to a fall. Once a fall is detected, the system can set off an alarm.
Loss of verticality refers to the situation where a person no longer maintains an upright standing position. Devices that use the loss of verticality also use the accelerometer, but to identify whether a person is in an upright position or not. When the vertical position is no longer maintained for a specified period of time, the equipment triggers an alarm.
To conclude
The loss of verticality is a method that is less and less used, as it is a source of many false alarms and does not make it possible to detect all fall situations. On the other hand, while detecting a fall is by far the best solution, it requires a high level of expertise to set up a quality algorithm otherwise it will be useless. Such algorithms require the intervention of engineers and researchers specialized in artificial intelligence. The algorithm used by Neovigie was developed as part of the European H2020 innovation project with research laboratories to achieve a high quality detection that is a reference in this field.
A Lone Worker Solution is a safety and alert system designed to protect employees who work alone. It uses worker alarm devices to detect emergencies or dangerous situations and promptly notify emergency services.
The system connects a portable transmitter—such as a mobile application on a smartphone or smartwatch—to a web-based surveillance portal. Lone workers can use these devices to report real-time emergencies, such as falls or assaults.
When an alarm is triggered, it is received by the surveillance portal, which can respond by:
Neovigie enhances this system with an innovative lifeline feature, which automatically launches an alarm if the worker does not interact with the device within a set timeframe, ensuring an additional layer of protection.
Neovigie ensures the safety of lone workers through a comprehensive system that combines real-time location tracking, immediate alert mechanisms, and multi-channel communication. Here's how the solution operates:
1. Real-Time Location Tracking
2. Immediate Alert Mechanisms
3. Multi-Channel Communication
4. Integration with Satellite Technology
5. Privacy Compliance
Neovigie is a solution designed to protect lone workers. It integrates mobile applications like VigieApp. Lone workers can trigger alerts manually or automatically (e.g., in case of a fall or lack of movement). These alerts are sent to a supervision platform called VigieControl, enabling a quick and efficient response.
Lone worker protection covers all the measures put in place to keep employees who work alone safe. It relies on alert devices as well as on organizational procedures. The goal is to prevent dangerous situations (fall, medical event, assault) and to ensure a fast response when an incident occurs.
A lone worker device is equipment designed to detect hazardous situations automatically. In case of a fall, prolonged immobility or lost connection, it triggers an alert and transmits the information to a supervisor or to responders. It can take the form of a dedicated device, a smartwatch or a mobile app. It uses technologies such as GPS, cellular networks or radio to provide an accurate location and enable a fast response.
| Criteria | Dedicated device | Safety app |
|---|---|---|
| Triggering | Automatic and manual | Automatic and manual - more automation |
| Location | Built-in GPS, Bluetooth beacons indoors | Smartphone GPS |
| Reliability | Independent of the phone, multiple transmission paths (cellular, radio, satellite) | Depends on the cellular network and the phone's condition |
| Use | Simple, designed for safety only | More flexible but requires a working smartphone |
| Target users | Workers exposed to high risk (construction, maintenance, manufacturing) | Mobile workers with moderate risk (sales reps, service staff) |
Safety experts point out that an alert device alone does not amount to complete protection. A lone worker device does not replace a real risk prevention policy. It must be part of a broader approach that includes hazard assessment, appropriate procedures and proper training for the workers concerned.
A lone worker device detects a dangerous situation and makes it possible to alert help quickly. It works through several key elements.
The device continuously analyzes the lone worker's movements. It detects a sudden fall or prolonged immobility, possible signs of a medical event or accident. If the user does not respond to a pre-alert, an emergency signal is sent automatically.
In an assault or sudden problem, the worker can trigger an alert themselves by pressing an emergency button. This ensures an immediate response even when the sensors have not detected anything abnormal.
When an alert is triggered, the device transmits the worker's position using GPS. The information is sent to a supervisor or directly to responders over a cellular, satellite or Wi-Fi network, depending on the environment.
A dedicated interface lets you follow alerts in real time, locate workers and analyze incidents to improve safety. This tracking guarantees a fast, effective response.
It depends on the type of product, but on average you should plan on around $15 per month per lone worker.
“Dati PTI” comparison. To guarantee the safety and security of employees, there is nothing like an effective and easy-to-use solution to trigger an alert. However, when are you hesitating which Dati PTI solution to deploy to protect workers isolated from your company?
Dedicated alarm device (DATI) or PTI mobile application? Discover the advantages of each of these professional alert solutions. And make the right Dati PTI choice according to the needs of your users and their business constraints.
By definition, PTI data are alert devices for lone workers. They make it possible to trigger an alert and prevent emergency services in case of distress. Indeed, they are equipped with manual alert (voluntary alert button). They also include automatic alert functions: “loss of verticality” alarm and “absence of movement” alarm.
PTI data are interesting for your employees working alone. That is to say, out of sight or out of reach of other employees. And therefore more vulnerable in the event of a fall, discomfort, aggression or any other incident. They ensure wired (telephone) and/or radio (radio, GSM, satellite telephone) alarm transmission. You will find more information on the following site on different Dati PTI alert solutions .
Equipped with a Dati PTI solution, your employees will be able to Send an alert. But also, you will be able to ensure their protection even at a distance as provided for in the Labour Code (article L.4121-1). In particular via the “positive security” function present on the more advanced Dati PTI solutions.
Dati PTI solutions are now perfectly adapted to the specific needs of your isolated employees. In fact, they take into account the various business factors. Such as working outdoors, at heights, on risky sites, or even in the vehicle with frequent stops...
The “DATI” are safety equipment which take the form of a case, a badge, a medallion around the neck or on the belt, etc. Unlike PTI application solutions, which are non-material. In fact, by the acronym “PTI” we more generally refer to embedded applications on laptops. Whether it is an application for a GSM mobile, for portable radio or even for Handheld LTE radio.
Even if the functionalities of Dati PTI are very much the same, let's see the different advantages of each of the solutions. Thus, DATI or PTI, you will be in a position to make the right choice for your employees.
The Dati PTI box is a tool 100% dedicated to the safety of your isolated workers. It is perfectly suited to employees exposed to daily risks at their job and at the sites of their interventions. The latter require equipment that is entirely designed for their protection and safety. Some manufacturers will find Dati PTI equipped with an “anti-pull” alarm. So your employees can be rescued even if an attacker tries to remove the DATI box.
Thanks to location beacons or beacons operating using Bluetooth, your employee can be precisely located inside buildings. The alert with the position of the beacon is sent to the supervision platform. Of course, the location outside is carried out thanks to a very precise GPS installed in the Dati PTI box. The latter assures you a fine geolocation of the user in distress.
The quality of the alert transmissions of a Dati PTI box testifies to the progress of research & development by manufacturers specializing in personal safety. Some boxes can combine different transmission modes in order to guarantee maximum reliability of alerts: GSM network (2G, 4G), Wi-Fi... With the arrival of LTE-M technology designed for the IoT (Internet of Things), Dati PTI boxes offer communication even in basements. Indeed, the LTE-M technology deployed in France by Orange makes it possible to benefit from extended coverage and energy savings.
Whereas the first Dati PTI boxes only allowed you to send basic alerts: manual alarm, absence of movement and loss of verticality. Now you will find much more advanced solutions on the market. In particular, you can establish communications between your employees and the supervision center (internal or external). Indeed, some manufacturers have incorporated the “telephony” function into their Dati PTI boxes allowing you to make a call. In this way, you can remove doubts. Thanks to the microphone and the speaker, your employee can confirm the incident and its severity level. This avoids any alerts that are not justified or triggered by mistake.
The design of the latest generation Dati PTI boxes ensures a high level of robustness. In the event of a fall, a shock-resistant box will be able to function and transmit the alert. An interesting criterion for users whose activity is physical and field. In addition, the level of tightness to water and dust has improved significantly as evidenced by the protection ratings (IP67). An important characteristic for workers working on construction sites (dust, soil, particles).
Dati boxes are a particularly effective safety and alert device for a minimum of space. But what about the benefits of a PTI application?
Unlike the Dati PTI box, the PTI application ensures the safety of your employees without additional equipment. It simply works from their professional smartphone. Some of your employees, in particular sales representatives or even security agents, will appreciate this PTI solution for their discretion and the absence of visible devices. On the other hand, triggering an alarm on a smartphone can be more complex.
A PTI application has the advantage of being easy to use and easy to set up. All you have to do is install it on your employee's mobile phone. Make sure you Android and iOS compatibility of the provider's application. In order not to invest unnecessarily in new smartphones for your employees. In addition, the design of the applications integrates studies and tests on ergonomics to facilitate the handling of the functionalities. The use of the smartphone's large screen allows the use of colors and pictograms. Which make it almost fun to use the PTI application.
With a PTI application, the quality of the transmission of alerts is just as qualitative as with a Dati PTI box. On the one hand, because the technologies integrated into the latest generation smartphones ensure reliable operation and a high level of robustness (shock, falls, water, etc.). On the other hand, manufacturers of Dati PTI solutions integrate functionalities into the mobile application that protect the user from any possible failure. Both from the smartphone and from the application. Indeed, the PTI mobile VigieApp applicationTM, for example, has “positive security.” This function allows you to control the quality of the link. Depending on a frequency that you determine, the supervision system constantly checks the status of the mobile.
While not all PTI data make it possible to establish voice communications and even less thesending messages, the application allows Qualified removal of doubt. Thanks to the use of the basic functions of the smartphone, which are voice calling and sending messages, your supervision is in a position to verify the incident. This oral or written communication has two advantages:
Since the application for a lone worker is software, developers will be able to make adjustments remotely at any time. Thus, without any action on your part, you will be able to take advantage of parameters specific to the needs of a user. In addition, you will be able to get new features added.
In short, the choice of a physical or application “Dati PTI” cannot be improvised. You must take into consideration the business needs of each of your employees. The PTI application is therefore an excellent solution for people with low risk exposure. On the other hand, for people working in difficult environments, physical DATI is the preferred solution. Indeed, on a smartphone, the employee may have the phone screen locked, and with stress, not be able to trigger the alarm.
Orient yourself to a vendor Dati PTI expert offering a global solution including box, mobile application and web supervision portal. You will be advised and will benefit from the protection of your employees in a single tool!
Of course, the use of a PTI solution must be accompanied by an easily applicable and tested procedure for organizing emergency services.
Lone worker devices transmit alerts over wired (telephone) and/or wireless links (radio, cellular, satellite phone). You'll find more information on the different lone worker alert solutions.
Even though the features of these devices are broadly similar, let's look at the specific advantages of each option so you can make the right choice for your employees.
Thanks to Bluetooth location beacons, the employee is located in a precise spot. The alert, with the beacon's position, is sent to the monitoring platform.
Some devices combine several transmission modes for reliable alerts: cellular network (4G, LTE-M), Wi-Fi… With LTE-M technology designed for IoT, some products can communicate from basements.
While early devices could only send basic alerts, a voice function can now be built in to place a call and verify the situation.
The safety app protects employees with no additional equipment, from a company smartphone.
The technology built into the latest smartphones ensures reliable operation and a high level of ruggedness (shocks, drops, water…).
The app developers update the product regularly and sometimes add new features at low cost.
A lone worker device can send several types of alerts, automatic or manual, depending on the situation detected.
These features enable an immediate response in case of danger.
High-risk industries such as manufacturing, construction, transportation, utilities, security and healthcare, along with any organization whose employees work alone or out of sight of coworkers.
