Children
ATLANTA, Sept. 22 PR Newswire -- A child is reported missing every 40 seconds and more than 260,000 children are abducted each year.

Children of all ages are faced with the threats of abduction, falling prey to some form of abuse or simply becoming lost. According to the FBI’s National Crime Information Centre there were 105,229 active missing person cases by the end of 2007. Of these, 64% were juveniles, who were abducted by strangers, ran away or were taken by a non-custodial parent.

Most parents or child care facilities are extremely conscious of the dangers children face and work hard to ensure they are protected; however many children are still lost or taken every year.

The best way to ensure that no harm comes to a child is to ensure they are never taken; however if the worst happens tools that help ensure they are easily located and returned quickly are invaluable.

One of the easiest ways to significantly increase the chances that an abducted or lost child will be found in a short period of time is through the use of a tracking system.. With these solutions, parents or Guardians can track a child in real time from any location with an Internet connection.


Students
Each year the number of new students leaving home to attend colleges and universities throughout the world increases. For most, this is their first experience living away from home and while the transition is an exciting time in any young person’s life, it can also be very dangerous.


With this change, many students are exposed to a much broader cross section of society, from a more active night life to a growing circle of friends and acquaintances.

Tragically, a number of these young people will find themselves in dangerous or unpredictable situations with no access to help from family, friends, or law enforcement.

 

Mobile Workers
With the widespread availability of laptops, cell phones and other personal electronics, the work forces in almost every industry have become fully mobile. By the end of 2011, it is expected that close to 75% of the U.S. and European workforce will be mobile. For companies, this means their ability to effectively measure employee efficiency, track hours and help ensure employee safety will be extremely limited.

Some of the questions companies want to be able to answer about their mobile workers include:

  • Where are my workers right now?
  • Where have they been?
  • Has my worker done the job?
  • Are they on time?
  • Are they safe?

Using these tools, companies gain the ability to improve:

  • Response times for members of field service to improve customer satisfaction
  • Effectiveness of employees through route optimization or prioritization of tasks based on current location
  • Employee safety and resource management
  • Operating efficiency and productivity
  • Satisfying care of duty legislation

Lone Workers
Currently there are over 23 million lone workers in the U.S., and that number is increasing each year. Lone workers are found in a wide range of fields, including social work, home healthcare, realty, construction, retail, transportation (truck and taxi drivers), field service and sales. Any lone worker may at some point face a threat to his or her safety, be it from people with whom they interact or from environmental dangers such as electricity, falls, or chemical spills.
While working alone does not automatically lead to security issues, there is little doubt that working alone increases vulnerability to attack, abuse, threat or accident. For businesses, the risk to lone workers can impact the company in a number of different ways, including:
  • Recruiting challenges
  • Serious injury or death
  • Increased legal liability
  • Higher insurance costs
