The Guardhat app is available on Android and iOS, and works with the Guardhat Platform and Guardhat solutions to turn your phone into a cutting-edge tool for work safety and collaboration.
The Guardhat app provides core safety functionality including SOS, fall detection, worker-down, proximity detection, geofence violation and evacuation alerts to workers on the frontline as well as their support, engineering and/or emergency response teams anywhere in the world. It also comes with full audio-visual calling, multi-channel, dynamic PTT, and secure media capture and storage – to make hazardous work easier and faster even as it makes work safer.
The app is a compatible frontline device for use with the Guardhat Lone Worker solution, which provides additional automated alerts and functionality around check-ins and visibility for those who work alone, distributed, or in remote locations to ensure they get home safe at the end of each shift. Gas detection & analytics features within the Guardhat Worker Condition Monitoring solution are also compatible with the app to track wearable/mobile gas detector status and alerts in real-time to create and manage a connected fleet of smart detectors to prevent exposure events and respond to incidents more swiftly and effectively.
As the ecosystem of Guardhat device integrations grows, the Guardhat app will offer more functionality for new devices and meet frontline worker needs as part of the leading platform covering the last mile to the frontline worker.
