Safety for surveyors.
Surveying takes one person to places specifically because nobody is there yet: vacant land, derelict buildings, sites mid-construction. The absence of other people is the working condition.
What surveyors are actually up against
Solo work on remote, vacant or partly built sites with uneven ground, unsecured structures and, sometimes, unauthorised occupants, often beyond easy reach of help.
- A fall or trip on unstable ground with nobody within earshot
- Encountering unauthorised occupants in a vacant or derelict building
- A site visit in an area where mobile coverage drops without warning
After-hours work produced 22% of FY26 activations but 34% of confirmed emergencies, and site visits scheduled late in the day run into that window. 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.

Per-site check-ins with live location, so an overdue surveyor triggers a response rather than a missed call.
