The Complete Personal Safety Service
Lone Worker Protection, 24/7, from Skyguard
Skyguard is the UK's premier emergency service for lone workers and vulnerable individuals.
It’s so good, over half the UK’s Police forces use and trust our service to protect the most
vulnerable in society!
Our complete end-to-end service provides 24-hour protection at the simple touch of a button.
Using GPS-enabled devices fitted with mobile phone technology, you can raise the alarm wherever
you are, whatever the time.
We have years of experience dealing with real-life threatening and dangerous scenarios,
extensive industry knowledge, and long-term investment to provide the best possible safety
service for people at risk.
As a consequence, we can offer you, your employees or those in your care a cost-effective, yet
premium personal safety service.
By subscribing to our service, you will have access to the following:
One Button Alarm Activation: Upon pressing the ‘SOS’ alarm button, the device enables us to
determine who has raised the alarm, where they are on an on-screen map and all relevant contact and
emergency escalation procedures.
Accurate GPS: Means we can locate the device wherever they are.
2-Way Communication: Each device features 2-way audio functionality. We listen
in to what is happening and if it's safe to do so, talk to and reassure you until the help we summon, arrives.
Of course, if it is not safe to talk, there's no need to say a word! We'll send assistance, if appropriate.
Speed Dial: Devices allow you to call up to three contact telephone numbers of your choice, initiating
a two-way voice call – just like a telephone conversation.
Voice Memo: Allows you to leave a message giving additional information that could be useful in an emergency.
E.g. where you are going and who you are meeting. This information will be available to our controllers in the event of an emergency
alarm activation.
Man-Down: Our GEMshield device features ‘Man-Down’ – a sensor which
detects a trip, slip, fall or heavy impact and sends an alarm to our Incident Management Centre. Vital for incidents where the user
is unable to call for help.
Position Reports and Requests: Records the user’s location automatically or manually at the press of a button.
The location can be viewed instantly on an online map at our secure Customer Service Centre. Our MYSOS device allows you to request the
position of the user at any time by sending the device an SMS text message.
Audio Recording: All incidents audio is recorded and logged, providing the Police with evidence should the
incident result in litigation.
Skyguard on your Mobile / BlackBerry: We also offer our service on any mobile phone and BlackBerry device
that’s easy to install, providing Skyguard’s service without the need to carry a dedicated device.

Experienced Professionals: Our dedicated staff have been carefully selected, trained and constantly retrained using
specialist tuition methods, to calmly and professionally deal with a wide range of stressful and/or violent situations
involving people (not intruder alarms, vehicle tracking or CCTV).
Direct Access to the Emergency Services: We have direct access to the Police (bypassing the 999 system) which allow
faster response times. And because we know who you are and where you are, there’s no time wasted… response is quick!
Isn’t it better to dial 999?
Bespoke Software: A unique knowledge centre that collates and evaluates information from customers, actual incidents,
and the personal safety industry. This feeds data back into our service development to augment our controller training,
software and service development. This process serves to further enhance the safety of our customers, and their employees.

Flexibility: You can transfer devices between users at any time, with no extra cost, allowing you to transfer devices
between employees or those in your care.
Account: Keep all of your device users in one location, with handy reports on real-time and historical information
such as alarm activations, position reports and personal details (such as descriptions, photos and medical history).
Position Reporting: Our CSC features a detailed map of all of your user’s locations, updated in real-time, allowing
you to easily locate your lone workers, employees or those in your care at any time.
