Guardian Pin

Across the trades

  • A lineman at dusk on a wooden utility pole, tied to the pole with a fall-restriction strap at his waist, hard hat, high-visibility vest with reflective bands, with a crew member and truck at the base.
    Miles from help. Guardian Pin raises the alarm with one press.
  • A forestry worker seen from behind in a hard hat and a high-visibility jacket with reflective bands, walking away through a misty conifer forest.
    No signal past the last cut block.
  • A climber seen from behind on a steel telecom tower at blue hour, hard hat with a chin strap, high-visibility vest with reflective bands, full-body harness, both lanyards clipped to a steel tower rung. A second worker in a hard hat and high-visibility vest stands clear of the drop zone.
    One on the tower, one on the ground, and an hour to the nearest town.

The gap between the yard and the site

On a lot of crews, long drives still run on a phone call and a whiteboard. A worker heads out to a remote site, and if the check-in call doesn't come, it's nobody's job to notice.

  • Long drives

    Hours on the road between sites. The yard saw them leave. After that, the next check-in lives on a phone call.

  • Missed check-in calls

    When the call doesn't come, nothing flags it. Someone has to remember, and they're usually on another job.

  • Paper and phone trees

    The plan goes on the board at the start of shift, or into a thread of texts. The supervisor is left holding the last version they actually saw.

How it works

One Guardian Pin app covers the worker on the job and the family at home. Workers join with the company's invite code. Supervisors see the plans and the check-ins. The company gets one invoice per worker.

  1. Journey plan

    Before heading out, the worker files where they are going, the route, and when they should arrive. Alex Rivera does that before leaving for a telecom site. The same plan works for a powerline run or a morning of home visits.

  2. Timed check-ins

    The check-in times are written on that plan, for that trip.

  3. Missed check-in

    Slip past a time and the check-in is marked missed.

  4. Email to the supervisor

    The supervisor hears about it by email. That email is the only alert Guardian Pin sends. It doesn't phone anyone, nobody at Guardian Pin is watching for it, and it doesn't call emergency services. What happens next is the company's own procedure.

  5. Company dashboard

    Supervisors and the safety team see every plan, and every missed check-in.

Built for HSE and safety teams

For the safety people who look after these crews, in North America, the UK, and Europe.

  • Location, and what the company sees

    Today, we don't receive a worker's location unless an alert the worker starts is active. Those samples are deleted after 30 days. When journey plans arrive, the plan is that location goes only with the check-ins the worker sends. Nobody follows it live. There's no location off shift. Processing terms are available on request for pilots. Our servers are in Toronto, Canada. Email goes through our email provider in the United States.

  • A company invite code

    Hand the worker the company invite code. That is how they join.

  • Invoiced per worker

    The invoice comes from us, not through the App Store or Google Play.

  • One app

    Same phone, same app. You are not asking the crew to install another one.

The pilot

A 30-day pilot. No invoice, and nothing rolls into a paid plan.

What the pilot includes

  • Journey plans for the people you put on the pilot
  • Check-in times on those plans
  • An email to the supervisor when one is missed
  • The company dashboard

A place in the first group

Book a pilot for a place in the first group, and a say in what gets built. Register interest and we'll write as places open.

Pricing

Pricing on request

We invoice per worker, outside the app stores. When you book a pilot, tell us the size of the crew.

Questions

Is Guardian Pin for Work available today?
Not yet. It's our next release. Pilot places are open now: book one, or register interest and we'll write when places open.
Which app do workers use?
The same Guardian Pin app, for home as well as the job. They join the crew with the company invite code.
Who is told if a check-in is missed?
The supervisor, by email. That email is the only alert Guardian Pin sends. It doesn't phone anyone, nobody at Guardian Pin is watching for it, and it doesn't call emergency services. What happens next is the company's own procedure.
How does a company pay?
An invoice from us, per worker. Not a charge through the App Store or Google Play.
When is a worker's location shared?
Today, only during an alert the worker starts. We don't receive it when no alert is active, and samples are deleted after 30 days. When journey plans arrive, the plan is that location goes only with the check-ins the worker sends. Nobody follows it live, and there's no location off shift.
Who is it for?
Crews on long drives and remote sites, and the supervisors and safety people who answer for them: field service, home healthcare, forestry, construction and surface mining. Powerline and telecom crews too, for the drive out and between sites. In North America, the UK and Europe.
Is it certified to BS 8484?
No. There's no alarm receiving centre behind it and no police response route. It's journey plans, check-ins, and an email to your supervisor when one is missed.
