Gas-prone and confined workplaces pose constant safety challenges. Workers may face distress, immobility, or sudden emergencies without immediate assistance. Traditional monitoring methods often fall short in providing real-time visibility and quick response.
Challenges in Confined Spaces
1. Risks in Confined Spaces: High temperatures and hazardous gases create dangerous working conditions, increasing the risk of injuries and fatalities.
2. Ineffective Communication: Traditional tools like walkie-talkies often fail in confined spaces due to poor network coverage, making coordination and emergency response difficult.
3. Safety Challenges: Monitoring personnel in real time and ensuring quick emergency responses are nearly impossible with outdated systems.
The Solution: Connected Safety Network
This system creates a layer of protection by enabling real-time monitoring and emergency communication. It provides:
-
Live tracking of workers inside hazardous zones.
-
Instant alerts when panic, idle status, or low battery is detected.
-
A central dashboard for supervisors to monitor and respond effectively.
With these measures, the system ensures immediate support during critical moments and significantly reduces response time.
Key Components & Functionality
1. Beacon: Personal Wearable Device
Every worker entering a hazardous area carries a small, easy-to-use device.
-
SOS Button: Allows workers to send instant alerts in emergencies.
-
Idle Detection: Raises an alert if no movement is detected for one minute.
2. Connect Point
Captures data from the beacons and transmits it onward.
3. Gateway
Acts as the central hub, collecting information from all connect points and sending it to the monitoring dashboard.
4. Verification System
Before entering the area, workers can check their beacon’s functionality through the system dashboard, ensuring devices are active and reliable.
5. Tracking & Monitoring Software
The control center for safety management, offering a live view of all devices and workers.
-
Health Indicators: Green for normal operation, red for faults.
-
Live Location: Instantly updated map view of worker movement.
-
Alerts:
-
SOS Alert – Manual emergency button pressed.
-
Idle Alert – Triggered after one minute of no movement.
-
Low Battery Alert – Notifies when a device needs charging.
-
-
User Assignment: Each beacon is linked to a worker for accountability.
Benefits
-
Immediate Emergency Response: Faster alerts minimize risks.
-
Enhanced Worker Safety: Employees feel secure knowing they are monitored in real time.
-
Transparency & Accountability: Supervisors can track exactly who is inside hazardous zones.
-
Preventive Safety: Proactive monitoring reduces the impact of potential incidents.
