[asterisk-users] Lone worker system

2008-05-12 Thread Steve Hanselman
Has anybody got any scripts for a lone worker system using Asterisk
before I write them?



Something along the lines of a regular phonecall with some kind of
random question (e.g. press 1 then 5) to provide monitoring of lone
workers with alerts?

I think a little more elaboration would get you more helpful advice.
I have read your message a couple of times and still don't really
understand what you need.

Thanks,

He wants a randomly generated phone call to be generated to a specific
extension.
Eg once an hour for the midnight to dawn shift at a random time per
hour.

When the person picks up they are asked a question using an audio file.
(or text to speech).

Then the person has to enter the correct dtmf answering the question (eg
1 - 5)

If the person fails to answer the phone (I'm guessing here but a second
call will be placed 2 mins later).

If this call is also 'fail to answer' an escalation call to a supervisor
or something similar will occur indicating that the 'lone worker' failed
to respond and is either - dead from a stabbing, or 2 jerking off in the
bathroom and not at his post.





Cheers,
Dean 

P.S. Hope your lone worker is paid a lot to be working for a shitty
company checking up on them like that :)

Spot on (except for the shitty way, it's pretty standard, in building
there are paging systems that start an escalating tone, beyond the
building these don't work, so if you're away then we'd be dialling the
mobile).

Actually, in the UK, a company has a duty under the Health and Safety at
Work etc Act of 1974, and the Management of Health and Safety at Work
Regulations of 1999.



'Employers have responsibilities for the health,
safety and welfare at work of their employees
and the health and safety of those affected by
the work, eg visitors, such as contractors and
self-employed people who employers may
engage. These responsibilities cannot be
transferred to people who work alone. It is the
employer's duty to assess risks to lone
workers and take steps to avoid or control risk
where necessary. Employees have
responsibilities to take reasonable care of
themselves and other people affected by their
work and to co-operate with their employers in
meeting their legal obligations.'
