Create a safer work environment with Employee Safety Check

What is Employee Safety Check?

The Employee Safety Check tool allows employers to check how and where employees are during acute situations. This lets incident and emergency handling teams work more quickly. It can also be used to communicate with employees about where they need to seek safety if needed.

Phone calls take a lot of time and don’t provide the status overview that Employee Safety Check does. Employee Safety Check also lets you communicate with employees via SMS and/or app messaging. This makes the job more efficient, and sending messages via multiple channels helps ensure that they reach your employees.

Keep your contact lists up-to-date

Keeping employees’ contact details up-to-date in different places isn’t always a priority task, and old details can remain in a system for months (or longer)! But if your contact lists are out-of-date, you won’t be able to reach all employees when an incident occurs.

To avoid this issue, LEKAB has a solution for setting up automatic imports that will keep employees’ contact information updated. Implementing this at the same time as Employee Safety Check avoids an extra manual task and ensures that you’ll be sending messages that your employees will actually receive.

Avoid worry and panic

Using mobile phones' GPS function, you can locate employees when an incident occurs—as long as they have chosen to allow location sharing. In the case of an accident or other incident, you can use location sharing to send crucial information only to those who may actually be affected. This helps minimise worry or, depending on the incident, even panic, as you won’t be contacting personnel you know are unaffected.

How does LEKAB’s Employee Safety Check system work?

At LEKAB, we believe that everyone should feel safe on the job. That’s why we developed our Employee Safety Check system. We wanted to make it easier for employers to create safe work environments, even when things don’t go as planned. With our platform, you can contact employees via app and SMS, wherever they may be when an incident occurs.

The tool also lets employees respond to your messages, letting you know whether they are safe or need help. You can keep track of this vital information in real-time. By giving employees an easy way to respond to your messages, the chances that they will in fact respond are better.

To keep the system up-to-date, LEKAB offers a solution that continuously updates contact information. As mentioned above, there is also a location sharing function so that employees who have allowed it share their location with you automatically. As an employer, you then get an overview of who your message has been sent to, who has received it, who has responded, and where they are located.
