Scottish Water (SW) has a legislative requirement and a duty of care to its people to ensure they are as safe as possible while undertaking tasks that are considered as Lone working e.g. where someone works by themselves without close or direct supervision. There are a number of systems in operation at SW, which can set alerts and escalations to aid people who are set as Lone Workers and get in to difficulties. However, these systems are not managed from one single source, have several stakeholders working independently and use different processes, which is confusing to the user. The new system of Lone Working will look to utilise current integrations with Workday and will work in tandem with new apps for measuring and registering fatigue and the ICCs spatial awareness that plots the location of Lone Workers in the event of escalations New Contract Requirements/Contract transition H&S would be looking to obtain the most flexible contract possible and understand that suppliers would want to have a fixed term contract with optional extras for extension e.g. initial 3 years with annual optional extensions The system should be cloud based third party hosted and accessed through an online browser available to SW admin people 24/7/365. The system should provide comprehensive Lone Working functionality including setting different Lone Working Categories; providing a variety of escalations and alert technologies with comprehensive reporting showing all details of system usage and escalations/ notifications.

The LWs should plot locations of users and/or track users movements spatially i.e. can be reproduced on electronic maps. These maps should be either part of the native or reproduced on another host system. The LWS should be able to take and manage uploads from SWs HR system Workday which will automatically manage user numbers and amend existing users, remove users who have left SW and add new users to SW. The system should be able to accommodate SWs organisation hierarchy structure and escalate notifications and /or at least house details of a user’s line management (reports to).
