The power of the MultiBel man down alarm

Protection for every situation
Our Man Down app offers four different types of lone worker protection: an emergency button, fall detection, non-movement monitoring, and interval control. The settings can be customized in advance to match your specific needs. If an alarm is triggered, the lone worker’s location is automatically shared with colleagues or an alarm receiving center.
Automatic alarm notification to an Alarm Receiving Centre
A rapid response is crucial when the man down system detects an emergency through advanced man down detection. This detection ensures that potentially dangerous situations are quickly identified, even in remote areas or during night shifts. In cases where colleagues cannot be alerted, the alarm is automatically forwarded to the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). Trained operators in the ARC take immediate action, assessing the situation using the detailed information provided by the man down detection system and, if necessary, dispatching security or emergency services.


Real-time insights: Know who’s protected, instantly
Many organizations question whether their man down system is actively used. Traditional hardware often lacks transparency, making it difficult to monitor usage. With our system, you gain complete visibility. The real-time dashboard shows exactly which colleagues use the man down system, enhancing both security and compliance with internal safety protocols. Together, we ensure that your man down system is not just in place, but actively contributing to the safety of your employees.
Instant communication when a man down alarm is triggered
Our man down system enables immediate two-way communication between the affected employee and colleagues or the alarm receiving centre. You can choose between one-way (listen-only) or two-way (speak-listen) communication, depending on the situation. Two-way communication minimizes misunderstandings and ensures swift, informed decision-making when every second counts.


Reduce costs with a Man Down App
In many 24/7 industries, employees often work alone at night, making it crucial that they can quickly raise an alarm in an emergency. In case periodic checks are sufficient, many organizations use an alarm receiving centre or assign colleagues to perform routine checks. A man-down app automates this process, reducing labor costs while ensuring reliable safety monitoring.
Minimize false alarms, maximize response readiness
Frequent false alarms can reduce the vigilance of emergency responders. Our system helps prevent this by using a pre-alarm feature. If a potential incident is detected, the lone worker has a set time to cancel the alarm before it escalates. If no action is taken, a man down alarm is automatically sent to colleagues or the ARC. This pre-alarm feature ensures that only real emergencies trigger alerts—while the manual alarm button remains an instant response option.


Accurate indoor & outdoor positioning for faster response
In an emergency, every second counts. The faster help arrives, the greater the chance of minimizing harm. That’s why precise location tracking is essential for lone worker safety.
Our man down system uses both GPS and Wi-Fi positioning as standard, ensuring accurate tracking indoors and outdoors. Outdoor positioning is straightforward, with GPS pinpointing locations within a few meters. Indoors, Wi-Fi enables floor-level accuracy, making it ideal for high-rise buildings. Additionally, the Man Down App emits a loud signal to guide emergency responders. For even greater precision, beacons can be used, though they require additional hardware.
Can the man down app replace hardware?
MultiBel’s man down app is the only smartphone solution with the K21023 Mobile Safety Certification. The certificate was drawn up by Kiwa in collaboration with the Dutch police. Because the same smartphone can also be used as a replacement for the pager and walkie-talkie, you have 3 security solutions in 1 app.

To ensure safety, MultiBel can send alarms via various channels. The way in which someone can be reached varies from person to person, but also from moment to moment. The more channels you use to send an alarm, the greater the chance of reaching that person, even if your own infrastructure is damaged as a result of the disaster.

Sales Consultant MultiBel
We use MultiBel for the Emergency Response Team and the Crisis Team. The system can be armed by pressing an emergency button, by activating the fire alarm, or by reporting a calamity at the reception.
The delivery of MultiBel went well. A clear explanation has been given on site and the system has been delivered in good working order. The people who are called up have independently installed the app using the manual. If necessary, the Helpdesk is easily accessible.
As a safety engineer, I can highly recommend the Multibel system, as it is suitable for a large number of areas of application.

Thanks to the flexible modular system, every company can find this across all industries individually fitting product. The users like the uncomplicated and well-functioning technology. If necessary, support from the competent and friendly staff is guaranteed at all times!
After acute problems with our old man-down alarm, I found Multibel. Due to Multibel's quick response, a new man-down system was quickly made available to me. After some further research, it turned out that Multibel offered solutions to various problems related to the existing alarm process. Flexible, user-friendly and clear are the key words that characterize Multibel.
MultiBel still meets our expectations, a good product with good support and good implementation. Elements such as the test modes indicate that the application of the product and its users has been carefully considered.
We are currently conducting a pilot with MultiBel's extensive alarm system. In our organization, reliability is very important in the field of safety.

More than a Man Down App

Man down system with attendance registration
Through the MultiBel app you are informed in real time of the presence of your employees. Thanks to automatic presence registration, you are able to only call colleagues who are nearby. In addition, many employers are not aware when there are too few colleagues present. MultiBel can also send a notification in case of understaffing. This way you can be assured that sufficient help is available in the event of an emergency.
Communicate with Push to Talk App
Are your employees done carrying around extra hardware? Thanks to the walkie-talkie app, everyone already has their means of communication in their pocket. This way, care providers can coordinate faster next steps among themselves. Problems with the internet? Then MultiBel offers a telephone conference call.


Reporting unsafe situations
Unsafe situations can also arise during nighttime situations. MultiBel makes it possible to report unsafe situations. The user can create a notification in the app and add a photo of the environment. In this way, all notifications can be logged in the MultiBel system. In addition, users can communicate with each other via text messages and photos and videos can be shared in the logging.
Tips for choosing a man down system
There are many different options to increase the safety of your employees. Do you opt for a man down system via the smartphone or for an additional device? We have drawn up a number of selection questions for you to easily determine what your ideal man down solution looks like.

Man down alarm – what are the obligations?
With regard to lone workers, there are specific regulations for certain professions such as divers. In addition, young people under the age of 18 are not allowed to work without supervision. For most professions, the employer must identify all situations in which employees work alone. These situations are described in the risk inventory and evaluation. This describes who works alone, where and when. In addition, the employer must describe what measures are required to combat possible risks.
Every employer is responsible for the safety of personnel working alone. Employers must arrange the following matters:
- See whether working alone can be avoided
- Make an inventory of all risks when carrying out the work
- Take additional control measures
- Establish procedures for working alone
- Provide information to employees about working alone
- Supervise, depending on the risks
Our man down app recognizes a fall or when users stop moving. In addition, employees have the option to start an alarm via the app via an emergency button. Through attendance registration, the man down system knows which employees are present. In addition, the persons present are informed of the location of the incident. This way time can be saved.
Would you rather call a Alarm Receiving Centre? Or escalate if no one responds? In the system you can set who will be called per scenario.
How does our man down system work
With our Kiwa certified man down system, an automatic alarm is generated when the smartphone detects a fall or bump, someone does not move or someone presses an emergency button themselves. The parameters of the man down app can be set in advance. This way you can determine for yourself at which values the man down system will trigger an alarm. When the values entered for, for example, the fall alarm are exceeded, the pre-alarm starts. The duration of this alarm is also adjustable. This gives people the option to stop an alarm, for example in the event of a false alarm. If the pre-alarm is not stopped, an alarm will automatically be sent to colleagues or the PAC.
The advantage of a man down system is that an alarm is triggered when users are unable to start something themselves due to, for example, unconsciousness. The man down system is therefore often used at locations with high risks of slipping or falling or for employees with medical conditions, employees who are often in contact with violence or other dangerous environments.
