Lone Worker Security Solutions

Lone worker security solutions are available on Vancouver Island from Blanchard Security because those who perform their jobs without direct supervision face unique risks every day. This is especially true in gas stations, convenience stores, and other late-night retail settings.

At Blanchard Security, we specialize in protecting these workers with advanced, easy-to-use systems that ensure you are never alone and help is always within reach. Our solutions give business owners and employees peace of mind, knowing that someone is always watching out for them.

Why Lone Worker Security Matters

Whether it's an overnight cashier at a gas station or a store clerk at a 24-hour shop, lone workers are more vulnerable to:

  • Robberies and assaults
  • Medical emergencies
  • Slip-and-fall accidents
  • Difficult or aggressive customer interactions
  • Dangerous situations with limited support

Employers have both a legal and moral obligation to keep these employees safe under Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) guidelines. That’s where Blanchard Security comes in.

How Blanchard Security Protects Lone Workers

  1. Lone Worker Monitoring Systems

Our specialized lone worker systems include scheduled check-ins to ensure employees are safe, alert, and injury-free. If a check-in is missed, our 24/7 Emergency Response Centre (monitoring station) is immediately notified.

Key features:

  • Regularly timed prompts for workers to confirm they’re okay
  • Automatic alerts if a check-in is missed
  • Emergency response dispatch when needed
  • Custom setups with keypads, chimes, and silent alerts

  1. Panic Button & Silent Alarm Integration

Wireless panic buttons can be placed behind counters or worn on-person. These can be configured as:

  • Silent alarms that discreetly alert our Emergency Response Centre
  • Audible alarms to deter attackers
  • Instant notifications to managers, back-office workers and dispatch teams
  • Incident recording for legal and safety reviews

At Blanchard Security, our roots are in professional-grade security camera installations - it's where we began. We design and install high-resolution video systems that consistently record around the clock, capturing every moment with clarity and reliability. Our systems are built for real security, not just bundled extras.
