Safety for commercial cleaners.
Cleaning happens when everyone else has gone home. A cleaner is often the only person in a building, moving between floors nobody is watching, with the doors unlocked behind them.
What commercial cleaners are actually up against
Working alone in an empty or partly empty building outside normal hours, where an injury, a medical event or an intruder would go unnoticed until the next shift.
- A fall from a ladder or a wet floor with nobody in the building to find them
- An intruder entering through a door propped open while equipment is moved
- A shift that ends without anyone confirming the cleaner actually left
Across all industries in the FY26 data, after-hours work produced 22% of alarm activations but 34% of confirmed emergencies. See the data ›
What we'd recommend
Match the tool to the risk. Most teams layer a monitored app with a wearable trigger so help arrives whether the worker presses, gestures, falls, or goes quiet.
Duress App
A safety timer per site that escalates automatically if the cleaner does not clear it at the end of the shift.

A button on a lanyard, reachable with wet or gloved hands when a phone is in a bag two floors away.

Fall detection for work on ladders and stairs, where the likeliest emergency is one the cleaner cannot report themselves.
