Initial situation:
It has become indispensable to protect isolated workers even in a sector such as the metalworkingmaking the use of a man-down device essential to ensure their safety in all circumstances. In this context, employees find themselves working in aisolated environmentin which powders e noises are an element to be taken into account for occupational safety and health.
Dust particles in the air can cause respiratory problems and eye irritation, while insulation can increase the risks associated with accidents or emergency situations. Without adequate securityworkers are exposed to dangers such as the lack of immediate help in case of accidents or deteriorating environmental conditions without timely warning.
Project:
To cope with this critical situation, a company located in the province of Lecco needed to equip some workers, working in isolated conditions, with man-down devices capable of withstanding even complex environmental situations. The Twig One man-down device by Twig is the ideal solution to meet this need. It is in fact very light and comfortable to wear; robust, powerful e resistant to dust and residues in these environments; it makes use of ergonomic keys allowing workers to use it even while wearing work gloves; but above all, it ensures that no false alarms are generated and that the battery either long-lastingvery important in companies such as metalworkers.
The Twig One device exploits the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) to communicate in real time with a central monitoring platform. In addition, it is equipped with a localisation system GPS (Global Positioning System) indoor e outdoor which allows the exact location of workers to be pinpointed thanks to the IrTrack Software developed by Irbema. The company opted for the version with integrated WiFi to enable the device to send immediate warning signals in case of emergencies, even in areas without coverage mobile GSM, enabling rapid assistance to employees and a early intervention of security personnel.
In conclusion, the adoption of the man-down device Twig One represents a effective solution to mitigate the risks associated with the isolated and dusty environment in which the metalworking company's employees work. Through the real-time communication and the GPS tracking the device provides a higher level of security, allowing immediate response in case of emergencies or critical situations.
