Customized carrying solution for the safety of the lone worker

Peoplesafe is an industry-leading, technology-driven employee safety company with over 20 years’ experience in the lone worker industry. The 24/7 personal security service they provide is facilitated by a range of products, primarily small key fob devices that need to be accessed quickly and easily if the worker feels unsafe or threatened.

Already offering a small range of accessories including a badge holder and belt clip, Peoplesafe identified the need for a bespoke carrying solution for the MySOS lone worker device to meet the requirements of a new customer. Used by a range of at-risk workers, including telecoms engineers, the device needed to be easily accessible and secure to reduce false alarms triggered by the built-in fall detection technology.

The unique shape of the device presented its own difficulties, but the team at Peter Jones rose to the challenge and designed an elegant solution that would complement the organic shape of the MySOS device and allow the device to be carried and protected, while having the ability to charge when secured in the cradle.

The design process involved several iterations and prototypes, all developed and manufactured in-house at Peter Jones. Once the design was finalized, tooling and production of the injection molded bracket was carried out in-house. The efficiencies of manufacturing in the UK at the Peter Jones factory were not lost on the project outcome, resulting in a cost effective, quality controlled solution with minimal shipping costs or delays.
