Lone-worker check-ins
A check-in someone notices when it’s missed
An engineer on site alone starts a timer. If they haven’t checked in within 10 minutes of it running out, the office is alerted with their emergency contact — once, not over and over.
How it works
- 1
Start a session
Pick the job, say how long you expect to be and add an emergency contact.
- 2

One tap to say you’re OK, add time, or sign off when you’re finished.
- 3
Missed check-ins surface
Anyone overdue shows in red at the top of the page for the office.
The details
Who to call
The emergency contact’s number sits next to the alert.
Tied to the job
Each session can be linked to the job the engineer is on.
A record of the day
Closed sessions stay listed, with when each engineer signed off safe.
Frequently asked questions
Which plans include lone-worker check-ins?
Every plan.
Does it track where the engineer is?
No. Nothing is tracked between check-ins. Engineer location is a separate add-on that each engineer has to agree to themselves.
