Lone Worker Protection Services

Keep your people safe when they're working solo.

Monitor employee welfare any time

Look after your people when they’re working alone with Lone Worker Protection Services from Vodafone Business and Orbis.

There are around seven million lone workers in the UK, from delivery drivers and out-of-hours retail staff to financial advisors and construction workers. With the variety of locations their day might demand from them, it can be difficult for employers to discharge their duty of care to protect them.

Vodafone Business partners with Orbis, the UK’s leading provider of 24/7 property and people protection, to offer Lone Worker Protection Services paired with our first-class reliable connectivity. Together, Orbis and Vodafone Business deliver emergency resolutions with a direct line to emergency services, backed by Vodafone’s best network for business (Mobile News Awards 2023).
