FISA 302 chainsaw pre-checks, Type-A PPE gate, LOLER climbing-kit inspection, wood-chipper and brushcutter pre-use forms — plus the one feature no panic-button app has: Apple Watch chainsaw-cut auto-detection that fires SOS on fall + HR spike without the operator pressing anything. what3words location + nearest-forest-road RV included in every alert so the ambulance can actually find you.
Forestry has the second-highest fatal injury rate of any UK sector (HSE), and tree surgery sits at the top of the activity-specific tables. The job combines the four hardest conditions for lone-worker tech to handle: no GSM under canopy, life-critical kit (climbing rope and harness), a tool that kills in seconds (chainsaw on a femoral artery), and a 20+ minute rural ambulance response. FISA 302 (chainsaw) and FISA 304 (lone working) demand documented pre-checks and a 30-minute cadence — most contractors run those on paper. We move them to an app gated by the worker's Apple Watch heart rate and movement, so a kickback that knocks the operator unconscious still triggers SOS within 30 seconds — watch a real shift play out on the live Apple Watch demo below.
See it live — Apple Watch demoSix real scenarios, 30 seconds, no install needed.
Combines CoreMotion fall detection with HealthKit heart-rate spike + drop pattern (shock response to blood loss). Both signals inside a 30-second window auto-fires SOS without the operator pressing anything — the only signal-pair that catches the failure mode that kills solo arborists.
Documented inspection: chain brake, chain tension, throttle interlock, anti-vibration mounts, muffler, fuel mix, bar oil, trauma kit. Mandatory items block clock-on. NFC tag to autofill saw serial.
Six-layer chainsaw kit check — helmet + visor + ear def + chaps + gloves + boots. Optional selfie evidence for RIDDOR audit.
Daily check for harness (EN 813), rope (EN 1891 Type A), karabiners (EN 362), mountaineering helmet (EN 12492), rope adjusters (EN 12841). Tracks the 6-monthly competent-person cert date.
Feed-roller emergency-stop bar test, anvil/drum inspection, hopper guard, discharge angle, wind-direction check, exclusion-zone confirmation. Designed around HSE WIS18.
Cutting head selection (line vs blade), blade damage check, harness, throttle interlock, guard, anti-vibration. Per EN ISO 11806.
Jobs pushed from dispatch with site coordinates, what3words RV point, and nearest forest road. One-tap navigation to Apple Maps / Google Maps. Push notifications when a job is added, rescheduled or cancelled.
Time-stamped, geofenced, signed — for HSE audit + payroll. Auto-locks the saw/climbing screens until clock-on. Auto-pings the supervisor if a worker hasn't clocked off within their planned window.
FISA-mandated fire extinguisher, beater, spade, plus today's DEFRA Fire Severity Index. Whistle + sat-phone + PMR446 radio range test. Red-flag days block saw start automatically.
While the saw or climb mode is armed, the app pings every 30 min for a tap-to-confirm 'I'm OK'. Miss two pings and the cascade fires — no app to open in a crisis.
Every alert pack includes the worker's three-word location and the nearest navigable forest-road meeting point, so the ambulance crew knows where to pull in.
When GSM drops under canopy, the app routes SOS over Iridium short-burst messaging or Apple/Android satellite-direct. Works from any UK woodland — no cellular dependency at the moment that matters.
Sector packs add the workflow; this is the operational layer every customer gets regardless of vertical — billing, comms, AI dispatch and trust signals.
Push + SMS + WhatsApp + voice fan-out in parallel. AI re-ranks responders by distance + role + rationale before dispatch.
Three Claude-powered flows: SOS narrative + mandatory ack, PPE/cert gap detection, proactive welfare pings.
Monthly SMS / WhatsApp / voice quotas included. Overage auto-bills; pre-buy bundles for cheaper rates. SOS always sends.
One-to-many alerts to any worker subset, ack-tracked for regulator evidence. Per-worker channel prefs respected.
At-a-glance integrations status and a dry-run test SOS so you can prove the dispatch before betting a real shift on it.
Every action stamped to ID + timestamp + UUID. Regulator-ready PDF export with one click.
Per-active-worker pricing. 14-day trial, no card up-front. Self-serve plan changes and bundle top-ups.
Push incidents into ServiceNow / RIDDOR-to-HR / SIEM (Splunk, Datadog, Elastic). GraphQL on Enterprise.
Animated watch face — six real forestry scenarios. No install needed.
