| Lone working: emergency system |
Unless sales demand increases, only one man is required to operate the Northampton railhead. Following concerns about the welfare of the lone worker should an accident occur, he now wears a device that not only detects whether he has become unconscious, by body angle and movement, but can also be manually activated in a ‘panic situation’.
The device then dials pre-determined emergency contact numbers and sets off an audible alarm and flashing beacon on the site. |
