Workers in the Engineering and Construction industry are faced with many hazards, as construction sites are one of the most dangerous places to work in the world.
In 2013, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the United States reported 20 percent of occupational fatalities were in construction, and the UK’s Health & Safety Executive reported 31 percent of workplace fatalities were also construction-related.
Thousands of incidents occur annually that put construction workers on short and long-term disability—many, never able to work again due to their injuries.
You need to protect your most important asset—your employees.
Your teams are prone to the “fatal four” hazards in the Engineering & Construction industry—falls, caught between objects, electrocutions and struck by objects.
From site supervisors and foremen to operators and architects, you are responsible for the safety and well being of all of your lone workers.
Are you confident you have the right processes in place to immediately coordinate an emergency response for your lone workers when a safety incident occurs?
Many organizations still use antiquated check-in procedures to ensure the ongoing safety of employees. This approach has proven it is not capable of responding fast enough, in real-time to make a difference for your lone workers.
Optimized emergency response time is at the core of Blackline Safety’s solutions. We provide all customers with the ability to quickly respond to injuries, health incidents and even animal attacks, in the shortest time possible.
In Engineering & Construction applications where Blackline’s technology is used, responders can be directed in real-time not only to a precise outdoor location, but the exact floor and room a lone worker is located in when working in a skyscraper under construction.
Our technology shaves minutes, even hours, off response time, when lone workers need help—regardless of location.
Your organization is unique. That’s why we work with you to meet your specific requirements.
Just like your personnel, we work everywhere.
Our turnkey Loner solutions complement rather than impose upon your business—all settings, including fall detection, are configurable in real-time, over-the-air to respond to your company’s needs.
Blackline Safety’s next generation lone worker monitoring solution provides industry leading safety for on-site personnel. With new features including 2-way voice calling, speaker phone capabilities and LiveResponse, this next generation lone worker safety monitoring device is available for general work locations with cellular coverage. Loner M6 also includes True Fall Detection®, no-motion (person-down) detection, employee check-in, manually-triggered emergency latch and precise positioning.
All construction sites aren’t covered by cellular networks. Blackline introduced the Loner Bridge System to monitor the safety of employees working beyond traditional communications and in remote locations. This versatile and portable solution is divided into two components: The Loner Bridge portable satellite base station manages a satellite uplink while the Loner 900 person-worn safety device monitors the real-time safety status of the employee.
An industrial-grade 900 MHz radio link connects the two components, ensuring that employees can work up to two kilometers apart under real-world conditions. Plus, Blackline offers the ability for workers to operate indoors without sacrificing safety monitoring continuity due to a dropped wireless connection.
Ideally suited for a variety of environments in Engineering & Construction, Loner 900 is the person-worn safety monitoring component of the Loner Bridge System. Certified intrinsically safe, the Loner 900 device features a combination of automatic incident detection and the ability to manually trigger a request for help.
As a true last-mile solution, Loner 900 communicates with the Loner Bridge portable base station that manages a satellite uplink to Blackline’s monitoring infrastructure.
Blackline’s Loner Portal user account offers a powerful combination of employee safety monitoring and emergency response management capabilities.
This industry-leading infrastructure was built from the ground up, empowering organizations to make a difference through efficient safety incident management. Loner Portal is highly configurable for all roles, applications, sites and divisions within the industry.
