Security professionals regularly work alone, respond to high-risk incidents, and operate in unpredictable environments. Whether carrying out mobile patrols, keyholding, or concierge duties, their safety should be a top priority.
In the UK, employers have a legal Duty of Care under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 to protect employees from foreseeable risks. For organisations employing lone workers, this means carrying out risk assessments, maintaining effective communication, and ensuring appropriate emergency procedures are in place.

By combining intelligent lone worker protection with real-time monitoring, MiSentinelSOS helps organisations improve employee safety, strengthen compliance, and respond faster when every second matters.
A strong Duty of Care isn’t just about meeting legal obligations—it’s about ensuring every employee returns home safely at the end of every shift.
