Lone worker safety for water and wastewater operators
Operators check lift stations at night, enter pump vaults alone and drive between remote sites in every season. OnGuard Lone Worker watches over them on the phone they already carry, and calls for help when they cannot.
Risks we cover
| Risk on the job | OnGuard feature |
|---|---|
| Slip or fall on wet platforms, ladders and hatches | Automatic fall detection with a cancel window |
| Collapse after chemical or gas exposure | Idle detection raises the alarm when movement stops (pair with gas monitors where required) |
| Missed return from a remote lift station | Geofence-triggered check-ins that start and stop at each site |
| Vehicle incident between sites | Crash detection with live location |
| Not knowing where an operator is inside a large plant | Indoor location with Bluetooth beacons |

Frequently asked questions
Does OnGuard work at remote stations with weak coverage?
OnGuard needs a phone signal to send an alert. Check coverage at each station during your pilot, and use scheduled check-ins where coverage is patchy.
Can supervisors see who is on shift alone right now?
Yes, on the live dashboard.
Do we need confined space entry procedures as well?
Yes. OnGuard supports your attendant and check-in process, and does not replace confined space rules.
