The real risks Environmental Services & Land Management lone workers face
Environmental Services & Land Management staff regularly work alone — in the community, on client sites, or out of hours. These are the hazards your lone working policy must address.
Enforcement Violence
Aggression from fly-tippers or poachers during remote interventions.
Local authority fly-tipping enforcement actions rose 8% in 2024/25, according to Defra.
ATV / Quad Overturns
Incapacitation in remote terrain following vehicle accidents on steep ground.
Transport is a leading cause of fatal injury in land-based sectors.
Remote Isolation
Working in "not-spots" where standard mobile signal is intermittent.
Only 84% of UK landmass has good 4G from all operators, according to Ofcom.
HSE INDG73 / HSWA 1974
Employers must ensure a reliable system for keeping in touch with lone workers and raising the alarm, especially in remote areas.

Compliance is benchmarked against the ability to locate and rescue a worker who has failed to check in, something The Sentry supports directly.
How The Sentry maps to Environmental Services & Land Management risks
Each Environmental Services & Land Management hazard below is met by a specific Sentry feature — not generic safety software, but protection built for the way your teams work.
Fly-tipper confrontation
Automatic video capture
Remote site accident
Live location sharing
Incapacitation undiscovered
One-touch panic alarm
Built for the way Environmental Services & Land Management teams work
The whole platform deploys on the smartphones your Environmental Services & Land Management staff already carry — no devices to buy, charge, or replace.
Silent SOS for enforcement
Summon backup during a confrontation without alerting the offender.
Live GPS location
Critical for rescue in vast rural terrain where landmarks are few.
Private incident reporting
Securely log threats or environmental hazards in the field.
Every plan includes the full Sentry feature set
The same two-sided system — staff app plus manager portal — protects your Environmental Services & Land Management teams. No hardware, no IT integration, live in under an hour.
Home-screen widget SOS
Exclusive to The Sentry: fire the alarm, share your location, and start recording straight from a home-screen widget — one touch, without opening the app. In a real emergency, the extra steps simply aren’t there.
Loud or silent panic alarm
One alarm, two modes. Loud mode sounds an audible siren; silent mode is completely discreet for confrontational situations. Both instantly share live location with your managers and Nearby Team.
Automatic video capture
Recording starts the moment an alarm triggers. Unalterable footage is saved to the cloud audit trail, emailed as a view/download link, and kept on the handset. (Loud mode records video only; silent mode also captures audio.)
Lone Worker Timer
Session-based timed check-ins: set your own interval and the app prompts you to check in during a session. If a check-in is missed, help is escalated. Added specifically for the wider lone worker sector.
Fake phone call
Defuse a tense situation with a simulated incoming call that uses your phone’s native ringtone and generates a fresh caller number each time — so it appears entirely genuine.
Live location sharing (user-led)
Real-time GPS — but only during a work session you choose to start. The Sentry never tracks passively or automatically, so your personal time stays private. Privacy by design.
Private incident reporting
A confidential, whistleblowing-aligned channel to report harassment — with the option to submit anonymously. Once sent, no trace is left on the device: no email confirmation, nothing stored locally. Satisfies EHRC Step 4.
Friends & Family licences
Every staff member gets three free personal licences, so their family can use the same safety technology — entirely separate from the employer’s account.
Manager portal — included on every account
- Live dashboard of all active team sessions — worldwide map, unlimited users visible
