The Transportation & Logistics sector poses many risks, with employees responsible for delivering goods to businesses and consumers. Large manufacturing facilities often have their own warehouses and transportation services nearby. But long shifts combined with attention to detail and physically challenging duties, like maneuvering heavy loads and hazardous working environments, contribute to employee fatigue.
You need to ensure the right safety measures are taken to protect your most valuable asset–your employees.
Consider this: The American Trucking Associations (ATA) reports the industry moves 9.2 billion tons of freight annually with big transport trucks logging nearly 400 billion miles each year. The U.S. Department of Transportation reported fatalities rose to nearly 4,000 in 2013, including truckers, occupants in vehicles that collided with large transport trucks and other incidents. Additionally, ATA released federal data that showed driving too fast for conditions or over the speed limit was the primary reason for 18% of fatal crashes where a large truck was deemed at fault.
In addition to the fatalities reported, incidents occur that put many lone workers on disability, sometimes short-term and, in many cases, for life.
Your teams often work in a variety of environments where work alone drivers travel for long periods of time on unpredictable terrain, all while risking fatigue or falling asleep behind the wheel. Other team members are responsible for operating large equipment, transferring and shipping products to public-facing environments.
From crude oil haulers to warehouse personnel, you are responsible for the safety and well being of all of your employees who may be susceptible to accidents, health events and interaction with the public.
Do you have the right processes in place to immediately coordinate an emergency response when your crew needs help?
Many organizations still use antiquated check-in procedures to ensure the ongoing safety of employees. This approach has proven it is incapable 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 Transportation & Logistics 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 an employee is located if indoors.
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 transportation and logistics 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.
The Loner Bridge System monitors the safety of transportation employees operating beyond cellular networks, including drivers, by addressing the challenge in two ways: 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 Transportation & Logistics, 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.
When working inside or nearby buildings, warehouses and manufacturing facilities, GPS positioning signals are often imprecise or not available. If an incident occurs, knowing where to deliver an emergency response is vital to making a difference for your employee.
Blackline’s Loner Beacon is the most cost-effective and precise technology to locate employees wearing a compatible Loner device within industrial environments. Loner Beacon provides seamless positioning indoors and nearby buildings with GPS when working outdoors.
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.
