Advanced Proximity Warning Systems: Key considerations for adopting innovative technology to prevent accidents involving people and plant.

How do you protect your workforce from accidents involving moving vehicles and active machinery, in industries where people plant activities inevitably overlap?

Each year, over 1,300 accidents are caused between pedestrians and forklifts, while within the construction industry, being struck by a moving vehicle or contact with unguarded machinery, rank among the highest cause of fatalities.

Accidents involving proximity hazards are increasing at an alarming rate across many sectors. To tackle this problem, employers and duty holders are adopting innovative technology to protect workforces from dangerous proximity to moving vehicles, active machinery and unsafe areas - but how do you choose the right solution for dynamic work environments?

In this webinar, Reactec will explore key considerations for selecting proximity warning systems, the role that data analytics can play in designing safer work environments, and look at the challenges of complex worksites where employees work in and around vehicles safely. Can proximity warning systems be flexible enough to not get in the way of getting the job done?


Our webinar will cover:

• The challenges with people plant interface
• The pitfalls of conventional segregation methods
• What is a proximity warning system?
• The types of modern proximity warning capability available
• A working example at Heathrow Airport
• Exclusion zones: why customisation is key
• The role of data analysis in risk prevention

There will be a Q&A at the end of the webinar to share in the experiences of adopting proximity warning systems from across different sectors. If you’re looking to learn more about proximity warning systems, what types of technology are available, including the different approaches towards tackling proximity hazards, then this webinar is for you.
