    by law, I can not be equipped with a panic button for rescue purposes, as it is deemed unlawful surveillance of the worker

    That makes no sense. What country and what law? For one example, GDPR has an exemption for cases like that. And for another, how can it be surveillance when the communication is initiated by the worker as part of their job?

      I’m in Portugal.

      I’ve asked if such devices could be supplied and I was given pretty much the same explanation I supplied here.

      Strangely enough, vehicles can be legally tracked, in real time, yet the company I work at has some union agreement that prevents such installation in the work vehicles.

      It’s a mess.
