Construction sites and tunnels are workplaces that present an increased risk of injury to employees. Positioning in combination with sensor technologies can significantly reduce this risk and increase the safety of all workers.
Rescue of Injured Employees
The tracking of workers during construction, maintenance and cleaning of tunnels ensures increased personnel safety. In case of an accident, the person affected can be located via indoor tracking.
It can also be assumed that an accident has occurred if a worker who is working alone has not moved for some time. The tracking solution helps to quickly locate the injured employee to provide him or her with timely medical care. Beacons with integrated motion sensors can be used to reliably determine the motionlessness of the worker.
Securing of Hazardous Areas Using Geofencing
Furthermore, warning mechanisms can be configured to inform the control center as soon as an employee leaves or enters a pre-defined dangerous area (geofencing). This technology can also be used to grant or deny employees access to certain areas.
Condition Monitoring
In addition to the positioning sensors, condition sensors for gas detection and air quality monitoring can be installed in the working areas. If harmful gases are emitted in tunnels or the quality of the air is impaired in any other way, employees can be warned in a timely manner and the security system can be activated.
Reliable Evacuation in Emergencies
In emergencies, such as fire, pipe burst or the presence of hazardous gases, it is critical to evacuate all people present in a timely manner. In this context, infsoft's tracking solutions enable fast and targeted search and rescue operations and ensure that no one is left behind.
