Enhanced safety & rapid response for lone workers
Our products and services provide rapid emergency response and peace of mind, ensuring that you and/or your lone workers are always supported and can gain fast help if/when needed.
Lone worker safety is crucial. Being prepared for the unknowns of working alone is vital.
Fall Detection
Sometimes a fall can leave you unable to reach for help. With optional fall detection, your pendant or watch can automatically alert our Care Team, making sure that assistance is on the way when you need it most.
Why Lone Worker Safety Matters:
Working alone means facing risks without immediate backup. When a worker experiences a fall, health episode, or threatening situation, seconds count. Employers have a duty of care under Australian WHS legislation to manage the risks associated with working alone. Our lone-worker safety alarms are purpose-built to support that responsibility and help organisations, businesses and companies (and other entity types) meet compliance obligations while protecting their people. In an emergency, every second counts!

With one button press you can call for help anytime you need it. Our highly trained monitoring centre team will answer, talk and listen, then take action to make sure you get assistance as quickly as possible. Our team has first-aid training and are available 24 hours a day, so you are never left waiting or unheard.

What is the minimum rental term for APERS devices?
The minimum rental term is 6 months. Each new rental involves one-off setup in our monitoring centre, creating your response plan and testing your device. A 6 month term helps spread these setup costs, keeps monthly fees more affordable and ensures the service is in place long enough to be genuinely useful.

Do I need a mobile phone to use it?
No. The APERS Safety Mate personal alarm devices include a in-built SIM. They connect directly to our monitoring centre. No phone or separate app is required.

If we receive an SOS but no verbal response, we treat it as an emergency. Our 24/7 monitoring Care Team uses GPS and Wi-Fi location data to send help immediately.
Does it support silent duress alerts?
Yes. A duress (silent) mode can be configured for workers in higher-risk environments, allowing a discreet call for help without drawing attention.
Is fall detection included?
It’s an optional feature that can be enabled for any device. When activated, the device detects a fall and automatically sends an alert if you don’t cancel it during the pre-alarm countdown.
How long does the battery last?
Depending on configuration and signal strength, the battery lasts between 20 and 48 hours. We recommend daily charging for regular users.
