MyTeamSafe can’t keep you cool but we can help keep staff safer?

Especially over the summer holiday times staffing levels might be different or you have temporary staff that don’t know your business. At this time of year it’s also more likely that staff could be left on their own. With hot temperatures indoors and outside the probability of an incident is much higher.

MyTeamSafe is a simple, cost effective safety app that can help protect employees and businesses.

How can it protect employees?

Once set up, users run the app and simply check-in at the agreed intervals, say every hour. If they don’t check-in on time then their boss/buddy/supervisor is informed by text or email with all the user’s information, including last location, so they can decide what to do next.

How can it protect the business?

By having a simple, cost effective, set and forget Lone Worker safety system you can quickly cover your legal duty of care obligations by having a defined system and procedure to deal with lone working staff. You also reassure staff you have their wellbeing in mind.
Minor incidents can be solved quickly and effectively and don’t turn into costly ones.

To protect 15 staff costs just £450 a year … Compare that the cost of lost working days, HR meetings or even Legal proceedings.
