ASS have installed a ZoneSafe Vehicle to Pedestrian System (V2P) to a Hitachi Excavator for Singapore based YTL CE and Builders Pte Ltd. The system will help to protect workers who may come in to close contact with the excavator whilst working.
YTL specialise in sewer and water pipe laying, pipe jacking, shaft and manhole construction, construction of airport parking aprons and taxi ways, infrastructure works and road works in general.
Many of the company’s projects are performed for the Singapore Publics Utilities Board (PUB), and the PUB have been instrumental in guiding YTL to incorporate ZoneSafe as a safety measure.
ASS’s technical team will install and commission the equipment during August 2020.
YTL CE and Builder Pte Ltd are the latest company to embrace the ZoneSafe Systems to help protect their workers who may come into contact with an industrial vehicle. YTL CE and Builder Pte Ltd are an established, and Building and Construction Authority (BCA) registered company based in Singapore. Amongst their daily activities they specialise in sewer and water pipe laying, pipe jacking, shaft and manhole construction, infrastructure works and road works.
YTL CE and Builder Pte Ltd were impressed with the capabilities of the ZoneSafe Systems, and have invested in a system for a single Excavator, together with Personnel Tags and Charging Units.
This project will serve as a ‘proof of concept’ initiative for the company, who’s goal is to provide a high level of safety for their workers.
To assist companies to provide a safer working environment, ZoneSafe have developed a Person-to-Person Social Distancing Solution.
ZoneSafe P2P has been developed to help companies to:
- Adhere to Social Distancing Guidelines
- Reduce Person-to Person Contact
- Ensure Safe and Consistent Distancing is Maintained
- Deploy a Quick Solution for Workers at a Job Site or Workplace
Each worker wears a ZoneSafe P2P TAG. When a P2P TAG detects another P2P TAG within a 2 Meter distance from each other, a vibration alert is activated to indicate that there is a risk of contact. The vibration ceases when P2P tags no longer breach each others maximum threshold.
ZoneSafe P2P reduces contact between workers, encourages spatial awareness, and ensures safe distances are maintained while carrying out work.
ZoneSafe P2P can be quickly deployed across job sites and workplaces in industrial applications where social distancing measures are required.
