Security excellence award
Reliance High-Tech’s ‘Reliance Protect’ lone worker protection solution was honoured for Best Deployment of Lone Worker Technology at this year’s Security Excellence Awards following its roll out to highway workers at Lafarge Tarmac, a leading sustainable building materials and construction solutions group.

The end-to-end solution includes a GPS-enabled Identicom lone worker device integrated into the armband of high visibility jackets that is accredited to BS8484 standards, incorporates man-down motion detection, and locates workers in the event of an emergency.
The solution combines 24/7/365 manned monitoring from the Reliance Monitoring Centre, a dedicated helpdesk, face-to-face training for every operative as well as comprehensive management support and reporting tools for a fixed monthly fee.
Lafarge Tarmac has enhanced the safety and security of its lone worker operatives as well as unlocking significant efficiency savings by eliminating an “accompanied worker scheme,” which previously required operatives to work in pairs.
