Worker Safety RTLS
When employees work alone or in high-risk environments, ensuring their safety can be challenging. Litum’s Worker Safety RTLS provides a reliable solution to monitor worker locations, detect emergencies, and enable rapid response.
Ensure Worker Safety, Reduce Response Times, and Save Lives
Do your workers face these safety concerns?
Delayed emergency responses due to lack of worker location visibility.
Manual safety checks that consume time and lack real-time data.
Inability to detect falls, duress, or inactivity in isolated areas.
High operational risks in remote or hazardous work environments.
Ensuring worker safety is not just a legal requirement, it’s critical to operational success and employee well-being. Litum’s Worker Safety RTLS delivers a reliable solution with Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology, offering precise, real-time location tracking. Proactively monitor worker locations, detect emergencies instantly, and enable rapid responses with automated alerts and pinpoint accuracy.
How Litum Worker Safety Works
Litum leverages advanced Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and BLE technology in compact, rechargeable tags designed for lone worker safety. These tags integrate seamlessly with Litum’s scalable RTLS mesh network, ensuring reliable real-time data transmission across large, complex facilities.
The system captures precise worker location and movement data, enabling real-time monitoring, rapid emergency detection, and actionable reporting. Key features include automated alerts for falls, inactivity, or panic triggers, as well as geofencing to monitor restricted zones and trigger notifications for safety violations. Together, these technologies keep workers visible, connected, and protected at all times.

FAQ
What is a lone worker?
A lone worker is any employee who performs their job without close or direct supervision from another person. This includes maintenance technicians working in isolated areas, night shift staff, workers in remote sections of large facilities, and anyone operating in environments where help may not be immediately available if something goes wrong.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
What is lone worker safety RTLS?
Lone worker safety RTLS is a real-time location system that monitors the location of workers operating alone or in high-risk environments. It detects emergencies automatically, allows workers to trigger manual alerts, and notifies response teams instantly with the worker’s exact location so help can reach them as quickly as possible.
What are the legal requirements for lone worker safety?
OSHA requires employers to establish procedures for monitoring employees who work alone and to ensure they can summon help in an emergency. Many states and countries have additional regulations specific to lone worker protection. A documented RTLS-based monitoring system supports compliance with these requirements and provides a time-stamped audit trail of worker safety events.
How does lone worker monitoring detect an emergency?
The system uses several detection methods. Workers can trigger a manual duress alert by pressing a button on their tag or badge. The system also detects immobility, where a worker has not moved for longer than a configured threshold, which may indicate a fall or incapacitation. Man-down detection automatically triggers an alert in these situations without requiring the worker to take any action.
What is man-down detection?
Man-down detection is an automatic alert triggered when a worker stops moving for an unusual period of time or assumes a position inconsistent with normal activity. It does not rely on the worker being able to press a button, which makes it critical for situations where a worker is unconscious or physically unable to call for help.
What industries require lone worker protection?
Lone worker safety monitoring is most common in oil and gas, manufacturing, construction, mining, utilities, warehousing, and healthcare. Any facility where workers may be isolated, work outside standard hours, or operate in physically hazardous environments has a duty of care obligation to monitor those workers.
Can lone worker RTLS work in areas with poor connectivity?
Yes. Litum’s worker safety system is built for industrial environments where network coverage may be inconsistent. The system architecture supports operation across complex, multi-zone facilities and can be configured to maintain monitoring capability even in challenging signal environments.
Can the same RTLS platform support other worker safety use cases?
Yes. The same infrastructure supports connected worker safety, emergency mustering, forklift tracking, asset tracking, and collision warning, all without requiring separate systems for each use case.
