Utilities & Public Works organizations are entrusted to build and maintain infrastructure for delivery of public services. While this industry has policies in place to offer reliable resources to the public, you need to ensure the right safety practices are in place to protect your most valuable asset—your employees.
According to the Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI), electrical-related incidents are the No. 1 cause of workplace fatalities in this industry. A study published by the National Safety Council in the United States reports hundreds of workplace fatalities and thousands of injuries occur each year due to electrical hazards alone. In addition, multiple incidents also occur in water and natural gas sectors, often resulting with workers on disability. Sometimes, these incidents are fatal.
Your teams often work alone for extended periods of time at wastewater treatment plants or up high on power lines. Working with high voltage materials, contaminated water, toxic chemicals and gases everyday can be hazardous.
From electrical engineers to maintenance personnel, you are responsible for the safety and well being of all of your lone workers.
Are the right processes in place to send help for your team 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 Utilities & Public Works 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.
The Loner Bridge System monitors the safety of remote employees 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 Utilities & Public Works, 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.
