Worker protection on fixed sites

Lone worker safety expert,
Peoplesafe, has added Real Time
Locating Systems (RTLS) from
9Solutions to its portfolio. The RTLS
solution provides indoor locating
systems, which enhance lone worker
services by overcoming the lack of
coverage from GPS satellite and
mobile networks within buildings.

Peoplesafe provides lone worker
systems to clients concerned for the
welfare of lone workers located on
large sites. These sites may be, for
example, campuses, data centres,
manufacturing plants, warehouses or
logistics centres. Lone workers on
these types of sites can suffer from
slips, trips or fall as a result of their
environment or task. They may even
become ill during their working day.

Locating an incapacitated person in
these types of situations may be
impossible if they are indoors as GPS
signals will not penetrate brick, glass
or metal structures.

This new solution
from Peoplesafe and
9Solutions will
provide a manager
access to live
information,
allowing them to
see if an employee
has raised an alert
and also to confirm
their location through Bluetooth
technology, thus ensuring assistance
is provided as quickly as possible.
