In some parts of the world, including remote areas of the United States, construction workers might be handling a specific task alone. What happens when that worker becomes immobilized and can’t make a call for help?

Secura-Trac has designed a mobile safety solution for these situations: MobileDefender model S (MD-S) is a mobile emergency pendant with personal telematics features that managers might like.

It relays information about employee locations as well as providing workers with an instant connection to help in the event of an emergency. It also has a built in Fall Advisory feature that detects horizontal and vertical movement; if an employee falls on the job or is knocked over by an object, he or she does not have to initiate the call for help—it’s triggered automatically. The Fall Advisory features can be set to match a few different work situations.
