PG Smart App
Turn your employees’ smartphone into a sophisticated safety device with the PG Smart app for lone workers.
Easy to use and reliable
Our PG Smart app for lone workers is compatible with Android and iOS, and your team can learn the interface and features in just 10 minutes. Just one press of the button can raise an SOS, without having to then confirm the call, and our lone worker app needs very little data to send an alert, making it effective in areas of low signal.
Cost effective
Whether you’re looking into a monitored, self-monitored or enterprise solution for your team, there are no additional costs for hardware with our PG Smart app.
Your worker can download the app either on their work, or personal phone, which makes the most of the device’s in-built features. It also means you don’t have to wait for new devices, or try and get them back from former employees. All current users can be managed in the PG Cloud platform.
Discreet and compatible
Our lone worker app pairs with our bluetooth trigger device, the PG Click as an alternative way to raise an alarm. This is useful if your worker can’t access their phone.
This wearable panic button has a minimum 12 month battery life and allows quick SOS activation without the false alarms that can come with using phone buttons.

Lone worker app features
Our PG Smart app for lone workers is loaded with features that are easy to use, so your team can feel confident when they’re working on their own.
One press SOS Alarm
Holding the alarm button for two seconds immediately connects to an operator, with two way audio and GPS.
Pre-Alert
Users can make a note for operators or named contacts to let them know of any concerns they might have.
Time at Risk
Setting a time limit to a situation, such as a challenging visit, automatically triggers an SOS if that time lapses.
Fall Detection
Our algorithim picks up a fall, sending an SOS alarm automatically if someone becomes incapacitated.
Robust Connectivity
By connecting to any available network, users will be able to send an SOS or other event even when very limited data connections are available.
GEO-Fencing
Users can set a home location, which means a Time at Risk escalation won’t be triggered when in this designated safe area.
Lone worker app FAQs
What does a lone worker app do?
Aside from an SOS button which connects users to an operator, apps designed for lone workers might have other functions. Our PG Smart has a Fall Detection, a Time at Risk check-in function, a Pre-Alert, and Safe Home feature.
Does it work with all smartphones?
To use the PG Smart app, your employee’s phone needs to work on Android version 5 and above, or iOS 10 plus.
Are apps for lone workers as high quality protection as dedicated devices?
Yes. Our PG Smart App is incredibly effective, as it can switch across different cellular and data networks, and have the benefit of an in built antenna. It works across 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G.
Does it work outside the UK?
Not currently, as our partner operators are UK-based.
What if there’s no signal?
The PG Smart app needs access to internet or cellular data to send an SOS. If your lone worker doesn’t have enough data to make a call, but they have some connection to send a WhatsApp message, for example, they can still send an SOS and operators will receive this along with their location, but they won’t be able to open a two way audio. If they’re in a location with zero signal and raise an SOS, this will be sent when they’re back in an area with signal. Our PG X is a our satellite device which is designed for the most remote areas with no signal.
