Legislation<\/h2>

Our application offers a possible solution for fulfilling the legal obligation under Act No. 309\/2006 Coll. on ensuring other conditions of occupational safety and health. Since Czech legislation does not specify how the protection should be technically implemented, the LWPS system is developed according to the British Standard BS 8484. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

How it works<\/h2>\n

The TOUCHGUARD app with the lone worker protection function in smartwatches is built around monitoring unusual events. If the set conditions occur, the system first triggers a pre-alarm and then automatically raises a full alarm. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\uf017<\/span><\/span><\/div>

1. The watch monitors risky situations<\/h3>

The system can evaluate a fall, heart rate level measurement, inactivity, removal of the watch from the wrist, and a manually triggered alarm using the SOS button. It is absolutely essential that the worker wears the watch with the strap fastened. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\ue06f<\/span><\/span><\/div>

2. Pre-alarm is triggered<\/h3>

The pre-alarm gives the worker time to confirm they are okay. It usually lasts 30 to 60 seconds and can be cancelled on the watch display. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\uf0f3<\/span><\/span><\/div>

3. The watch raises a full alarm<\/h3>

After the pre-alarm expires, the watch automatically enters an alarm state. The alarm state is clearly signaled on the watch. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\uf1d8<\/span><\/span><\/div>

4. The alarm is sent further<\/h3>

The alarm can be notified to the server, via SMS, or by voice call. These methods can be combined according to operational requirements. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Key features<\/h2>\n

The system is based on monitoring unusual events. Individual types of detection can be combined according to the environment and set independently for each device. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The watch application is focused purely on the protection of the lone worker and concentrates on the rapid evaluation of a risky situation and the transmission of an alarm.<\/h5>\n

SOS button<\/h3>\n

A user alarm can be triggered by long-pressing the red button on the side of the watch until the watch vibrates.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Voice call and SMS<\/h3>\n

After an alarm, the watch can automatically call set contacts and simultaneously send an SMS with alarm information.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Individual settings<\/h3>\n

Each watch can be set independently according to the risk of a specific location, workplace, or shift.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Connection monitoring <\/h3>\n

The system periodically checks the communication between the watch and the server and alerts you to any loss of connection. Without a network connection, some functions may not be available! <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Management and operation<\/h2>\n

To ensure the safe and reliable operation of the TOUCHGUARD WATCH app, we exclusively use Samsung Galaxy Watches together with the Samsung Knox Manage remote MDM system. Knox Manage is the only system that can manage watches just like work mobile phones and is key to the smooth operation of the TOUCHGUARD WATCH system. Connectivity is provided by an eSIM from T-Mobile, which is included in the price of the service. <\/p>\n
