The Life Tel 5 Mini mobile personal emergency signal device is specially developed to secure lone workers who work at individual workstations on extensive facilities. The Life Tel 5 Mini is a slim smartphone and in combination with the lone worker protection app, it is particularly suitable for lighter indoor activities. You can manage the Life Tel 5 emergency call yourself, e.g. through the doorman, your own operational security or your own control center. However, you can also make use of an external 24-hour emergency call control center. It must be able to manage and process telephone calls and SMS, as these sometimes transmit GPS coordinates.

“According to Section 25 of the Accident Prevention Regulation “Principles of Prevention” (BGV A1), taking into account operational conditions, the entrepreneur must ensure that, in the event of an emergency, the necessary assistance can be immediately called in and directed to the place of work.”—FROM BGR 139, PUBLISHER: MAIN ASSOCIATION OF COMMERCIAL PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS

Compliance with the requirements of the professional association

The Life-Tel 5 Mini outdoor smartphone person emergency signal device has been specially developed in combination with the integrated lone worker protection app to secure working alone. Lone workers usually work at dangerous individual workplaces. In accordance with the conditions and regulations of the professional association BGR 139 and the accident insurance DGUV 112-139 as well as the sole worker protection in accordance with DIN VDE V 0825-12/DIN VDE V 0825-11, the outdoor smartphone Life Tel 4 provides full and compliant protection. Entrepreneurs are required to protect such employees with personal emergency signal systems so that emergency measures can be initiated immediately in an emergency.

As a personal emergency signal device, the Life-Tel 5 Mini meets all requirements of the relevant DGUV 112-139 and, in combination with trained security personnel, serves as a full-fledged personal emergency signal system (PNA-11).

‍Legal bases

Working alone is unfortunately not uncommon. Thanks to extensive automation, industry as well as municipal and municipal utilities work entire night, Sunday and public holidays shifts with minimal personnel deployment. And it is expected that the number of lone workers will continue to rise. Occupational safety must therefore adapt to these sometimes completely new conditions in order to ensure the level of protection for employees working alone.

According to § 8 of the accident prevention regulation “Principles of Prevention” (BGV A1), the entrepreneur must ensure that the person working alone is monitored when working at risk. This monitoring can also be carried out, among other things, by means of personal emergency signal systems.—FROM BGR 139, PUBLISHER: MAIN ASSOCIATION OF COMMERCIAL PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS

risk assessment

Workers who work alone and suffer an accident (e.g. fall, get electrocuted or injured) or who are the victims of attacks are often not found over a longer period of time. This time can determine the health and life of those affected. According to Section 5 Occupational Health and Safety Act, the entrepreneur must determine the risks associated with working alone and assess the working conditions. Based on the assessment, appropriate measures must be taken and documented in accordance with Section 6 Occupational Health and Safety Act.

Protective measures for “hazardous work” are particularly relevant. In this context, an increased or critical risk is considered dangerous due to the work process, the type of activity, the substances used or the environment. The DGUV states: “If hazardous work is carried out by one person alone, the entrepreneur must ensure appropriate technical or organizational personal protection measures in addition to general protection measures” (Section 8 (2) DGUV Regulation 1).

With the personal emergency signal devices to be worn on the body of the person working alone, a personal alarm can be triggered in an emergency both as a function of will and independently of will in the personal emergency signal receiving center. Emergency signals are generally transmitted wirelessly [...].—FROM BGR 139, PUBLISHER: MAIN ASSOCIATION OF COMMERCIAL PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS

Life Tel 5 Mini alarm types‍

Willful alarm:

The red SOS button on Life-Tel 5 is used to immediately trigger an alarm by the user. After a simple push of a button, the Life-Tel immediately sends alarms to freely selectable pre-programmed numbers. The alarms are sent as SMS and/or phone calls.

Independent of will alarm/dead man circuit:

Situation alarm

The Life-Tel 5 Mini monitors the position of the device using a position sensor. If the wearer of the Life-Tel deviates from the preset position by more than 45 degrees over a defined period of time, the Life-Tel triggers a pre-alarm. If the person does not return to the set angle range within the duration of the pre-alarm (e.g. due to fainting), the Life-Tel smartphone triggers the alarm and notifies the preset phone numbers.

Ruhealarm/Totmannschaltung

With a rest alarm, the industrial smartphone monitors whether the user is moving. If it does not recognize any movement after a self-definable period of time because the person is unable to act, the Life Tel triggers a pre-alarm. This is displayed visually and acoustically. If the person does not move again within the duration of the pre-alarm and therefore does not acknowledge the alarm, the Life-Tel triggers the alarm and notifies the preset phone numbers.

‍Zeitalarm

When the time alarm occurs, the Life-Tel signals visually at defined times or time intervals by flashing the large keys and an acoustic signal. By pressing any key, the user acknowledges that everything is okay. If there is no confirmation, Life-Tel 5 triggers the alarm and notifies the preset phone numbers.

escape alarm

With this alarm, the Life-Tel reacts to hectic movements such as those that occur during an escape. After the pre-alarm, Life-Tel 5 triggers the alarm and notifies the pre-set phone numbers.‍

Fall alarm

Alternative to an escape alarm — if an escape alarm is not expected at work but the risk of falls is significantly high, the alarm serves as an alternative in the event of a fall.

‍loss alert‍

If the device is lost or removed from the arm holder, the Life-Tel also triggers an alarm.‍

Technical alarm‍

To monitor functionality and readiness for use, the Life-Tel is equipped with several technical alarm functions. The battery capacity, GSM reception, GPS reception and the functionality of the sensors are checked. If a limit is exceeded or a sensor malfunction occurs, a technical alarm is triggered and Life-Tel 5 notifies the preset phone numbers via SMS and/or call.

Safety-related information

For optimal monitoring of the person, the alarm messages must be received without downtime by a trained person or an alarm center.
