Vygard
So no-one works alone.
Vygard is a UK-built, AI-augmented lone-worker safety platform for organisations whose people work solo — care, construction, security, logistics, field engineering, agriculture and oil & gas. SOS, man-down and fall detection, welfare check-ins, geofencing, escalation and a tamper-evident audit trail all live in one console.
At its heart is "Howie", the AI dispatcher — it drafts a sub-second incident briefing the moment a worker triggers, proactively checks on workers before they have to ask for help, and forces a three-step acknowledgement before any incident can be closed. Live in 10 working days, no hardware required.
Overview
More about Vygard
Most lone-worker setups are a patchwork of three to five tools — a panic-button app here, a check-in spreadsheet there, a permit system and a pager. Vygard replaces them with a single platform that combines real-time safety, compliance and dispatch, tuned to the specific hazards of each sector through 12 vertical packs (from adult social care to ATEX oil & gas).
What sets it apart is speed and proof: a median SOS-to-dispatcher time of around 90 seconds, satellite-fallback SOS where mobile coverage drops, and intrinsically-safe ATEX handset support for hazardous zones — every action timestamped in a tamper-evident audit trail that satisfies BS 8484, CQC, HSE and RIDDOR.
Why Vygard
- SOS, man-down and automatic fall detection
- Howie, the AI dispatcher — sub-second incident briefings
- 12 sector packs, from care to ATEX oil & gas
- BS 8484 / CQC / HSE / RIDDOR-ready audit trail
What makes Vygard different
SOS, man-down & fall detection
Panic SOS on phones, watches and BLE pendants, plus background fall detection with auto-escalation through push, SMS, voice, alarm-receiving-centre and 999.
Howie — the AI dispatcher
Composes a sub-second SOS briefing — situation, next action and call list — then scans worker welfare every 60 seconds to catch trouble before a worker has to ask for help.
12 vertical sector packs
Care, construction, logistics, security, forestry, refuse, oil & gas (ATEX), agriculture, NHS community nursing and more — each tuned to its own hazards. Custom packs in ~6 weeks.
Regulator-ready by design
BS 8484-aligned provision, CQC Reg 13, HSE and RIDDOR auto-PDF exports on a tamper-evident audit trail. UK-hosted; Cyber Essentials Plus certified.
How it works
From first install to proof of action
Live in ~10 days, no hardware
Workers download the app or pair a smartwatch or BLE pendant; admins import teams and choose a sector pack. No devices to procure or install.
Cover runs in the background
SOS, man-down and automatic fall detection are always on. Howie scans worker welfare every 60 seconds and prompts check-ins, catching trouble before anyone has to ask for help.
Howie dispatches in seconds
The moment a worker triggers, Howie composes a sub-second briefing — situation, next action and call list — and escalates through push, SMS, voice, an alarm-receiving-centre and 999.
Every incident closes with proof
A three-step acknowledgement is required before any incident can be closed, and every action is timestamped on a tamper-evident audit trail with auto-PDF exports.
