Aware360 Introduces ActiveHalo+® Safety Wearable on SafetyAware

A reliable way to get workers the support they need, right when they need it.

Calgary, AB — Aware360 has launched ActiveHalo+^® on the SafetyAware platform, a safety device designed for workers in high-risk roles and remote environments. The wearable provides direct access to emergency support, detects falls automatically, and notifies workers if cellular service is lost.

ActiveHalo+^® is built for people who work alone, on the move, or out of sight. It offers a simple, reliable way to trigger a response when there’s no one else around.

And as more legislation and regulation develops across Canada and the United States, the need for reliable, verifiable tools continues to grow.

ActiveHalo+^® Features Built for Real-World Use

ActiveHalo+^® is equipped with features that are easy to use and built for field conditions:

• SOS button that connects the worker to live support with a single press.
• Automatic fall detection, powered by an impact algorithm with adjustable sensitivity.
• A utility button that activates a loud audible alarm for use in high-risk or visible situations.
• The ability to receive follow-up calls from whitelisted contacts after an SOS alert.
• USB-C charging that requires no custom docks or accessories.
• Configurable location sharing, with options for real-time tracking, SOS-only updates, or partial visibility.
• Coming soon: Indoor beacon support (currently in development) will enable room-level accuracy in environments where GPS doesn’t reach, such as hospitals, warehouses, or hotels.

Each feature is designed to minimize response time and reduce the reliance on manual input, especially when a worker is alone or unable to call for help.

“What I’m most proud of with this launch is that we’ve maintained the flexibility our customers rely on. They can choose a device that aligns with their specific needs and integrate it directly into their existing policies and working alone procedures. There’s no need for a complex change management process. The device is ready to deploy, allowing teams to stay safe and connected without disruption.”  

— Garrett Desruisseaux, Aware360’s VP Product

Here’s what it looks like when workers need support:

Field services:

While inspecting a rural power line, a technician loses footing and falls down an embankment. There’s limited cell service and no one in sight, but her ActiveHalo+^® detects the impact and sends an alert the moment it happens. The device connects to support through its built-in network, sharing her location instantly. Without lifting a finger, she gets the help she needs. Fast response, even in the middle of nowhere.

Healthcare:

During a routine home visit, a nurse enters a residence where a patient’s relative becomes verbally aggressive. Alone and feeling unsafe, she discreetly presses the SOS button on her ActiveHalo+^®. Within seconds, she’s connected to live support. Her location is shared automatically, and her team is notified. The situation de-escalates, but if it hadn’t, help was already on the way.

ActiveHalo+^® Across Small and Large Teams

ActiveHalo+^® supports programs of any size, from small mobile crews to enterprise field teams, without adding complexity for the people using it. The device allows safety leaders to configure settings, assign devices, monitor usage, and receive alerts.

For organizations that need to implement consistent safety standards across multiple locations or job types, ActiveHalo+^® provides a centralized solution with room to grow.

It also gives safety managers the context they need to act with confidence. When an alert is triggered, they can see who responded, when, and how. This helps teams make informed decisions quickly and avoid unnecessary escalations or delays.

ActiveHalo+^® Supports Compliance and Worker Confidence

Workplace safety regulations continue to expand across North America. Employers are facing clearer expectations around how they support and protect their people.

ActiveHalo+^® helps organizations meet these requirements by providing real-time response and consistent incident reporting. It also gives workers the assurance that someone is watching out for them. This matters in industries where the work is demanding and turnover is often linked to safety concerns or lack of visible support.

It is a practical way to strengthen duty of care while helping employees feel safer and more supported in high-risk roles.
