CEF portfolio company Staysafe have formed a new partnership with what3words to help companies respond to incidents more effectively.

With the new what3words integration, employers can communicate the precise location of their lone workers to emergency responders easily and accurately - using just three words.

In an emergency, identifying precisely where help is needed is critical. If lone workers suffer injuries or face aggression whilst at work, their employers may be unaware and therefore unable to help.

Emergencies can happen anywhere from the rural mountains of Scotland to outside Wembley Stadium. what3words has divided the world into a grid of 3m x 3m squares and given each one a unique what3words address – made up of three words from the dictionary. With the new what3words integration, monitors can give the exact what3words address to emergency responders and help will be sent to that precise 3m x 3m square.

In the UK, many emergency services have the what3words app deployed onto team devices so officers on the ground and first responders can use it to get directions to any precise 3m square efficiently.
