Vygard
Lone-worker safety
Welfare monitor

Know who to check on
before anything goes wrong.

SOS buttons and fall alarms react after the fact. Vygard's welfare monitor watches every live shift and tells your supervisors which lone workers need a welfare check right now, with the reason and a clear next step.

How it works

Who to check on, and what to do.

A running read of the shift

The monitor looks at everyone on shift right now and lists who warrants a check, most urgent first. Your supervisors see a short list, not a map of dots.

A concrete next step for each

Call them, send a welfare ping, or ask their buddy to check in. Each suggestion comes with the reason it was raised.

People decide

Suggestions are built from observable signals and transparent rules, so every one is explainable. Nothing is escalated or closed without a human.

What it looks at

The signals a good supervisor would notice, on every shift at once.

  • Night and late shifts

    Working alone after dark carries more risk, so those shifts are watched more closely.

  • No recent movement

    A worker whose phone or watch has been still for too long, even without a fall.

  • Missed or late check-ins

    A soft nudge before a missed check-in becomes a full alarm.

  • Shifts running long

    Someone still out well past their planned finish time.

  • High-risk context

    A visit, site or task already flagged as higher risk in your records.

  • Weather changes

    Storms, ice or heat moving in on a worker's location.

  • Wearable vitals drift

    Readings from a connected watch moving away from that worker's normal.

  • After an incident

    A follow-up check on anyone involved in a recent alarm or near miss.

  • Missing buddy

    A worker whose planned buddy or second person hasn't checked in.

Works alongside Howie

When an alarm does fire, Howie, the AI Virtual Watcher, drafts the incident brief and ranks responders for your dispatcher. The welfare monitor covers the quiet hours in between. Meet Howie.

Welfare monitoring questions

What is a lone worker welfare check?
A welfare check is a planned or prompted contact with someone working alone to confirm they are safe. Vygard's welfare monitor tells supervisors who needs one now and why.
Is this an AI making safety decisions?
No. The monitor uses transparent, rule-assisted signals and suggests who to check on. A person always decides what happens, and every action is logged.
How is this different from an SOS or fall alarm?
Alarms react when something has already happened. The welfare monitor is proactive: it spots the shifts that look wrong so someone can check in before an alarm is needed.
