How to use scheduled check-ins on WorkerSafety Pro

This article will demonstrate how to start and finish a scheduled check-in on WorkerSafety Pro.

The following is demonstrated using screenshots from an iPhone. Please keep in mind that WorkerSafety Pro for Android will look nearly identical to these screenshots.

 

Starting a scheduled check-in

  1. Tap on "Schedule Check-In" - it should say "none scheduled" in smaller text below.

  2. Use the slider below the text "If I'm not heard from in" to set the time for the check-in. The time can be set in 15 minute intervals from 15 minutes to 24 hours.
  3. Optional - After selecting the desired check-in time, you can tap on the address under "Backup Location". Then you can type in the address that you would like to reference as your location, if the check-in is missed. After you've found your desired location, tap on the "Save Location" button. Please keep in mind, that this is only applicable if you will be leaving cell service and Wi-Fi connectivity. If you are not leaving connectivity, you do not need to do this.

  4. Next, there is an option which says "Beep my phone before sending alert". Leave this option turned on unless the noise would potentially place you in danger.
  5. Lastly, there is an option to leave notes about where you are going and the work you are performing.
  6. When finished setting up the check-in, tap "Schedule".

Completing or extending a scheduled check-in

  1. After scheduling the check-in you should have been guided back to the home screen where the check-in should now say "Check-in Required".
  2. When you are ready to complete the check-in, or if you need more time on your current check-in timer, tap on "Check-in Required".

  3. After tapping "Check-in Required" you will be guided to a screen that says "Update Check-In". On this screen there are two options, "Complete check-in" and "Extend Check-In".
  4. If you would like to end your check-in, tap "Complete check-in". This will completely clear out your check-in and you need to follow the steps in the Starting a scheduled check-in section above in order to start another check-in. 
  5. If you would like to extend your check-in, tap "Extend Check-in". This will restart your check-in timer to the original check-in time that you had set for this check-in.
