The obligation to protect your lone workers applies today — not at the end of a six-month equipment project. Yet that is exactly the scenario many companies dread: tender, hardware, IT department, roll-out. There is another way. With Nomadia Protect as a self-service offer — Nomadia Protect ONE —, a complete lone worker alarm system is up and running within 24 hours: online subscription, an app installed on the smartphones your teams already carry, and automated alert handling.
Why lone worker projects get bogged down (and what it costs)
In most organisations, equipping lone workers follows the standard route of a capital investment project: drafting specifications, comparing dedicated devices, consulting the IT department on connectivity and the mobile fleet, budget approval, then roll-out and training site by site. The result: several months go by between the decision and the moment teams are actually protected.
Meanwhile, legal exposure doesn’t wait. The employer’s general duty of care for health and safety (Article L. 4121-1 of the French Labour Code) applies from the very first hour of lone working. If an accident occurs with no alarm system in place, the employer may be held liable — a point covered in detail on our dedicated lone worker protection page. The real risk, then, is not choosing quickly: it is staying unprotected while the project moves slowly.
Lone worker protection up and running in 4 steps
The self-service principle: remove every step that doesn’t protect anyone. No hardware to buy, no server to install, no IT integration. Here is the complete process with Nomadia Protect ONE.
Choose your monthly or annual plan — with no commitment — and pay by credit card or SEPA direct debit. No purchase order, no tender, no sales cycle.
Your employees download the Nomadia Protect app on their existing Android or iOS smartphone. No dedicated device to order or configure.
Define the contacts to notify and the detection scenarios: SOS button, fall detection, prolonged immobility, loss of verticality. The built-in AI assistant guides you every step of the way.
Protection is active immediately after setup — in most cases, on the very day you subscribe.
What happens when an alert is triggered?
This is the decisive question for any lone worker system: who gets notified, and what happens if that person doesn’t respond? With Nomadia Protect ONE, you define the contacts to notify — team manager, on-call staff, colleagues — and every alert reaches them instantly, along with the location of the employee concerned. As an option, an automated voice server calls these contacts one after another until one of them takes charge of the alert: safety never depends on the availability of a single person.
Organisations that wish to outsource alert handling can add certified remote monitoring with alarm verification, available as a 24/7 option. Either way, the goal remains the same: to organise assistance without losing any time — a requirement that stems directly from the employer’s obligation.
What self-service doesn’t sacrifice
A lighter plan doesn’t mean cut-price protection. Nomadia Protect ONE relies on the same detection technology as the enterprise offer Nomadia Protect, field-proven with maintenance technicians, security guards, home care workers and travelling sales reps. Nomadia is a European software publisher, and its smart mobility solutions are used by more than 200,000 professionals in 95 countries.

How long does it take to deploy a lone worker protection system?
With a self-service offer such as Nomadia Protect ONE, a lone worker protection system is operational within 24 hours: online subscription, installation of the app on existing smartphones and setup of alert contacts. A traditional equipment project with dedicated devices, by contrast, takes several weeks to several months.
Do you need a dedicated device to protect a lone worker?
No. A lone worker app installed on a standard smartphone is a fully fledged lone worker alarm device, with SOS button, automatic fall and immobility detection, and geolocation. Dedicated devices remain relevant for certain specific environments (ATEX zones, sites where smartphones are not permitted).
Who is notified when an alert is triggered?
The contacts you have defined receive the alert along with the employee’s location. As an option, a voice server calls them one after another until the alert is handled, and alert handling can be entrusted to a remote monitoring service with alarm verification for 24/7 coverage.
