Map every role and situation where your workers are operating alone
Define exactly what your lone worker safety system needs to do, before you start looking at options
Understand what real 24/7 monitoring and automatic escalation should look like
Plan a rollout your workers will actually adopt, with proper training built in
Keep the documented, auditable evidence your funding bodies and regulators expect
