If your business operates in high-risk industries such as construction, mining, logistics, or event security, reliable communication is critical—but so is worker safety.
Push-to-Talk (PTT) radios offer more than just instant communication. Modern systems include built-in safety features that can detect danger, send emergency alerts, and help protect staff working in remote or hazardous environments.
At L.A Radio, we supply two-way radios and PTT solutions equipped with the top three safety features essential for today’s workforce: emergency alerts, lone worker monitoring, and man-down detection.
Every second matters during an emergency. That’s why most professional PTT radios come with a dedicated emergency button.
How it works:
Pressing the emergency button sends an alert to supervisors or control rooms.
Some radios automatically open a live mic for audio monitoring.
Alerts can also trigger visual and audible warnings on other radios.
This feature is ideal for:
Security guards
Lone workers
Staff in remote areas or high-risk sites

Lone worker mode protects employees who work alone by checking for regular activity.
How it works:
The radio monitors if the user has interacted with it within a set time.
If the worker doesn’t respond to a prompt, an alert is sent automatically.
Alerts include the worker’s ID and location (if GPS is enabled).
Industries that benefit:
Logistics and warehousing
Mining operations
Maintenance and inspection teams

Man-down is a life-saving radio feature that detects if a user has fallen or stopped moving for a specific time.
How it works:
Uses tilt and motion sensors inside the device.
If no movement is detected after a set period, an automatic alarm is triggered.
Alerts are sent to supervisors or dispatch with user and location details.
This feature is critical in:
Mining and underground work
Construction and heavy industry
Agricultural and remote sites
