Where the two scopes differ

These two records describe different kinds of product, and the second is in transition. HSI Donesafe is described as a configurable EHSQ platform sold as selected modules: incident and hazard workflows with configurable review stages, contractor registration and inductions, quality and nonconformance records, first-aid certification tracking and a psychosocial module, with role-based dashboards and an interface for other systems. LONEALERT is described by its own notice as a lone-worker service whose customers have moved to Peoplesafe Nexus, so the record is a migration profile, and the legacy timer, check-in and alarm pages are not read as a current standalone offer.

What can be bought differs as well. Donesafe prices by the number of workers, the modules chosen and support services, publishes no amount, and offers a guided walkthrough and, on request, a sandbox of the buyer's own environment; the record did not verify a self-service trial. For LONEALERT the record directs procurement questions to Peoplesafe, notes that quote and trial buttons remain on the old site, and says older prices and trial offers are not a current offer. The Peoplesafe pages describe a monitored alarm centre, SOS and timed alarms and location assistance, and each of those depends on the migrated contract and the chosen app or device.

Connectivity means different things here. For Donesafe, offline use is about capturing forms, checklists, audits, hazards and incidents on a device and syncing on reconnection, with attachment limits and conflict handling unverified. For the lone-worker service, the record says an alarm needs a working communications route, and that satellite, cellular and Wi-Fi arrangements in the old device range do not establish delivery without one. Location access in Nexus can be limited by role, which the record asks the buyer to confirm with workers' notices. Neither record lists a certification.

When each is the safer first demo

Start with HSI Donesafe when

Donesafe suits a first demo when the opening requirement is a reporting-to-resolution workflow for workers and contractors. Bring one hazard form, one contractor onboarding case and one incident, then ask to see the offline app, the review stages with rejection, and which modules each step belongs to.

Start with LONEALERT (Peoplesafe migration) when

A LONEALERT check suits a first conversation when you already hold a LONEALERT contract. Bring your device and user list, the escalation contacts and three past alarms, then ask Peoplesafe to show each against the live Nexus account, with the product and features enabled for every worker.

A two-week evaluation plan

Ask HSI Donesafe

Does the worker count in the quote include contractors and one-off contributors, which modules does it cover, and who looks after forms and automation once implementation ends?
If two people change one record while offline, which version survives, and what attachments can the offline app hold?

Ask LONEALERT (Peoplesafe migration)

What written evidence shows that your migration is complete, which legacy contract has been superseded and which devices remain supported for the contract term?
Who may change escalation plans, device assignments and map permissions, and when is location collected and kept?

Week 1: put each product through the case it is meant for. In Donesafe, load a hazard form on a phone, switch to flight mode, log a hazard with a photo, reconnect and inspect the record, the assigned action and what the reporter sees. For the lone-worker service, fix a test window with Peoplesafe in advance and run a timer, an SOS and a missed check-in on one app and one dedicated device. No trial is verified for either, so ask for a sandbox or a supervised test.

Week 2: test the surrounding controls. In Donesafe, onboard a contractor with an expired qualification and see whether entry is stopped or only flagged, and try the interface you need. For the migrated service, compare the legacy list of users, devices, contacts and records with the live account line by line, review who can see locations, and ask for each unsupported item to have an owner and a date.

Worked evaluation scenarios

These scenarios are hypothetical. They show how to turn the record facts into a demo test and what outcome would change a choice; they are not case studies or customer results.

Hypothetical: a worker's timer runs out at the far end of a site

A utility worker starts a timed task alone, and the timer expires with no check-in. Peoplesafe's pages, which the LONEALERT notice names as the replacement, describe timed alarms, a 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre whose controller follows a pre-agreed escalation plan, and a statement that most devices and apps need a mobile network to raise an alarm. The Donesafe record describes offline forms, hazards and incidents that sync later, and describes no lone-worker monitoring. Agree a planned-alarm window with the provider so that emergency services are not called by mistake, then let a test timer expire and follow the escalation. If a requirement is a live alarm, treat offline capture as a different feature.

Hypothetical: a migrated customer discovers that history did not all arrive

A customer moved from LONEALERT to Peoplesafe Nexus and later needs an alarm record from the year before. The LONEALERT notice says customers were transferred and the service will shortly cease, and the record warns that no public mapping shows which users, devices, contacts and records moved. The Donesafe record names a REST interface and SFTP staging for exchanging data and says to confirm access and implementation costs. List ten users, five devices, the response contacts and three past alarms, then ask Peoplesafe for written confirmation of each. Ask Donesafe how an outside list or records would be loaded, and who maps the fields. If either answer is verbal, ask for a document.

Hypothetical: a contractor on a remote site needs an induction and later reports a hazard

A contractor registers before visiting a site with weak coverage, completes an induction, then reports a hazard on the day. The Donesafe pages describe contractor self-registration, inductions that can be completed on or off site with offline access, expiry alerts and direct hazard logging by contractors, and the record leaves attachment limits and edit conflicts to a demonstration. The LONEALERT record describes alarm and check-in services, not registration or inductions. Run the registration, induction and hazard report in Donesafe with the device offline, then reconnect and inspect the record. If a photo is lost or a record doubled, add that to the evaluation.

What the records do not establish

HSI Donesafe

A numeric price, currency or billing interval.
How large an attachment the offline app holds, how edit clashes resolve, or whether every configured module works offline.
That an expired contractor qualification stops site entry rather than raising an alert.
Any lone-worker monitoring or alarm-response service.

LONEALERT (Peoplesafe migration)

That LONEALERT is available as a standalone purchase, or what price or trial applies.
That every legacy device, setting and record moved to Nexus unchanged.
That an alarm reaches monitoring where there is no communications route.
Any EHSQ workflow such as incidents, inductions or quality records.

Neither product

Which suits a given workforce: they address different needs, and no outcome comparison was reviewed.
That the service replaces a lone-worker risk assessment or an employer's own procedures.
