Workforce Alarm
Before work starts, the workforce must be briefed on what they need to do in case of an alarm or alert
HRS provides example briefing sheets (toolbox talks). It is important that both day and night-time staff liaise with the client to ensure the workforce are briefed. There is no set way to deploy Blue Portable Site Alarms, as long as the workforce will be within sight and hearing distance of the alarm. In some cases, clients request these to be positioned every few hundred yards throughout the closure.
“If Intellicone wasn’t being used on this site tonight, I believe one hundred percent someone would have been killed.”
“By using Intellicone we were able to reduce resources requirements from 18 operatives to 8, a major saving.’’
“Without Intellicone who knows what would have happened with regards to injuries or even fatalities”
“In my opinion, without the Intellicone system in place to give everyone a clear and immediate warning of an incursion, there was a was a very real and serious potential for injury, or fatality. By having a robust emergency plan in place and the correct equipment to underpin that plan, we were able to ensure the safety of everyone at work that evening.”
“The main benefit for me was controlling a closed slip road without the need for gatemen to watch over it as this fulfills our objective of reducing gatemen whilst still controlling site access and incursions. The logging of any attempted incursion also allows a heat map to be generated that will aid future design of road closures and traffic management in that location.”
