Strengthening EcoOnline lone worker safety with new wearable tech partnership & an enhanced user interface

Winter can be one of the highest-risk periods for lone workers. Cold stress, slippery conditions, poor visibility, and remote working environments all increase the likelihood of incidents while making it harder to call for help quickly.

That risk is reflected in EcoOnline's Workplace Safety and Sustainability Report 2025, where 43% of North American lone workers said environmental hazards are a major threat to their safety. This is exactly why practical, fast-to-use safety technology matters, especially when every second counts.

To help organisations better protect their people during this period, EcoOnline has introduced major updates to its lone worker safety solution, including new wearable support and a refreshed app experience, backed by real-world customer deployment.

EcoOnline's lone worker safety solution sits within its wider safety and sustainability suite, alongside EHS, chemical management, ESG, and emergency and crisis management capabilities, helping organisations manage risk more consistently and proactively.

Partnering with Flic for faster emergency activation

EcoOnline has launched a new partnership and integration with Flic wearable safety buttons, adding a simple, one-touch help trigger to its lone worker ecosystem. Built for faster activation, the device allows workers to raise an emergency alert instantly, even when accessing a mobile screen is difficult because of gloves, weather conditions, movement restrictions, or task demands.

"We've followed StaySafe's growth into EcoOnline with great interest and are thrilled to become a partner and supplier. For 13 years, Flic has deployed buttons used not only everyday around the world to support lone workers, but also for their employers to underpin their own duty of care and compliance. Integrating our wearable buttons into EcoOnline's solution is a significant milestone for us," said Dirk Lüders, VP Corporate Relations, Shortcut Labs AB & Flic.

Paired with EcoOnline's existing mobile lone worker capabilities, the integration broadens how organisations can protect employees in isolated, remote, and high-risk settings, enabling faster alerts, improved response, and greater confidence for both workers and management.

A more intuitive lone worker app experience

Alongside wearable support, EcoOnline has launched its redesigned lone worker app UI, aligned with the broader safety and sustainability suite for a modern, connected experience. The refreshed interface simplifies navigation and makes key safety actions more visible and accessible for lone workers and safety administrators alike, helping drive engagement and reduce confusion when it matters most.

It also preserves the familiar workflows teams already trust, supporting strong adoption without unnecessary disruption. The focus is practical: intuitive journeys, dependable performance, and visual enhancements, including system-based light and dark mode support.

Real-world customer impact: Sinewave

Sinewave, a UK electrical engineering and infrastructure firm, shows what modern, effective lone worker protection looks like in practice. With engineers working across live substations and remote outdoor locations, traditional manual check-in methods were becoming difficult to sustain.

After adopting EcoOnline's lone worker app, Sinewave embedded digital check-ins into daily routines, with field teams and office teams sharing clearer real-time visibility through one system. Features such as automated check-ins, location tracking, and escalation workflows strengthened protection without adding admin burden.

More than 46 field engineers now use the app daily, with fast adoption driven by ease of use and straightforward rollout.

"Before we had the app, managers were manually checking in on lone workers… With EcoOnline's solution we have an efficient system that we trust. It's not about saving time, it's about peace of mind."

Putting lone worker safety into practice in 2026

For teams reviewing their lone worker approach this year, the priority is clear: make protection easier to use, faster to activate, and simpler to manage at scale. By combining wearable support with a more intuitive app experience, and by continuing to learn from proven customer impact in the field, organisations can strengthen protection for workers in higher-risk and isolated roles.

EcoOnline is here to help organisations not just meet compliance but build resilient safety cultures that protect their most valuable asset: their people.
