Lone worker explained
Working alone is not unsafe in itself, but it raises the stakes when something goes wrong: a fall, a medical emergency or a confrontation with an intruder, with nobody nearby to help or raise the alarm.
Health and safety law in most countries expects employers to assess the risks of lone working and put controls in place. In the UK, for example, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) publishes guidance on protecting lone workers. Common controls are regular check-in calls, a clear escalation procedure when a check-in is missed, training, and lone worker devices with an SOS button or man-down alarm, often monitored by an alarm receiving centre.
This is a general overview, not health and safety advice; base your arrangements on your own risk assessment.
How ForceVera handles it
ForceVera is not a lone worker safety system. It has no SOS or panic button and no man-down alarm. Dispatchers can see on-duty guards on a live map, get alerts when a guard leaves the site's geofence or goes idle on duty, and see missed patrols, which can help them notice a problem, but these are not emergency alarms.
If your officers work alone, use a dedicated lone worker device or service alongside ForceVera.
