Services / Personal Tracking
Location and safety visibility for people in the field
For lone workers, field engineers and staff operating away from a fixed site, ETIT provides personal tracking devices, platform access and support built around safety and accountability rather than surveillance for its own sake.
- Wearable & handheld units
- Panic and check-in alerts
- Location history
- Shift-based access
Services / Personal TrackingWhy this matters
Field staff often work without a safety net
No way to confirm someone is safe
Lone workers in remote or high-risk locations have no automated way to signal that a shift or task is proceeding normally.
Delayed response to incidents
Without a check-in or panic mechanism, a problem may not be noticed until a shift ends.
No record for incident review
When something does go wrong, there is often no location or timeline data to support the review.
Privacy concerns left unaddressed
Personal tracking introduced without clear policy creates legitimate concern among staff.
What this covers
A safety-first approach to personal location data
Personal Tracking supplies wearable or handheld devices and platform configuration for organisations that need to know where field staff are, primarily for safety and coordination rather than continuous monitoring of every movement.
The service is built around defined events: check-ins, panic alerts, shift start and end, and geofence entry or exit — rather than a constant, unfiltered location feed. This keeps the data useful and the policy defensible to the staff being tracked.
Because the subject matter is personal rather than an asset, ETIT works with the client to define a usage policy — what is tracked, when, and who can see it — as part of onboarding, rather than assuming a default configuration.
Service scope
- Wearable and handheld device selection for the operating environment
- Panic-alert and check-in configuration
- Shift-based tracking windows rather than continuous monitoring
- Geofence and zone-entry alerts for high-risk sites
- Platform access scoped to authorised safety or supervisory staff
- Usage-policy documentation agreed with the client

How it runs
Delivery steps
01
Define policy
What is tracked, when, and who can see it is agreed before any device is issued.
02
Provision
Devices are issued and configured against the agreed policy.
03
Train
Staff and supervisors are briefed on check-ins, alerts and escalation.
04
Support
Ongoing device maintenance and platform support continue under the service agreement.
What changes
Outcomes
01Faster incident response
Panic alerts and missed check-ins are flagged as they happen.
02A defensible policy
Staff and management operate under an agreed, documented approach to personal tracking.
03Usable incident records
Location and timeline data are available if a review is needed.
04Reduced lone-worker exposure
Field staff working alone are not entirely without a safety mechanism.
