How to Use the Man/Worker Down Feature in OK Alone

What is Worker Down?

The Worker Down feature uses your phone’s built-in sensors to detect if you have stopped moving. If no movement is detected within a set period, the app triggers an alert to ensure your safety.

This feature helps protect workers who may become unconscious or incapacitated by automatically notifying your assigned monitors if you don’t respond.

How Does Worker Down Work?

• You set a timer between 3 minutes and 1 hour to define how long the phone waits before considering you "down" due to inactivity.

• When no movement is detected for the set time, the phone will:

  1. Sound an alarm on your phone to alert you.

  2. Prompt you to confirm you are okay via the app.

  3. If you don’t respond, the alert is escalated to your allocated monitor.

  4. Your monitor will then follow the escalation procedure to check on you and provide help if needed.

Tips for Using Worker Down Effectively

• Adjust sensitivity based on your phone model and activity level to reduce false alarms.

• Always press Check In after making changes during a shift to sync your settings.

• If you get frequent false alarms, try lowering the sensitivity or increasing the timer duration.
