Who is vulnerable?
81% of lone workers are concerned about violence and aggression. One in ten of those surveyed had suffered some form of violent attack
An employee who works or travels alone is generally more vulnerable to accident, abuse, threat or assault.
If your people are in trouble, would you know where they are and could you respond quickly and effectively?
If not, you need the Skyguard Service.
