Orisent has long been at the forefront of offering state-of-the-art nurse call and evacuation systems to construction sites and other hazardous workplaces. Orisent is also the ONLY emergency alert system supplier to integrate with Procore, HammerTech, and Irongate Solutions.
Many of our customers sit within the construction, civil works, and refurbishment industries. Historically low tech, innovative businesses are now looking at products and services that can assist them to digitise practices and processes that help them improve worker safety, project management, and operations.
Construction sites are full of heavy equipment and risky working conditions, so safety is always a concern. Thanks to technology, it is now possible to create safer working conditions for construction workers and introduce efficiency in monitoring construction sites. Even though drones entered the scene as a novelty, the technology has now found widespread applications in many industries. One such important application of drone technology is on construction sites.
Technology is constantly evolving to utilise 21st century innovations, so it stands to reason that worksite processes and equipment should be evolving as well. Using smart technology in the construction industry saves time by minimising repetition, increasing visibility, reducing manual tasks, and proactively alerting personnel to issues.
âHuman Errorâ has long been identified as a contributing factor to incident causation
Commonly cited statistics claim that human error is responsible for anywhere between 70-100% of workplace safety incidents. Â While it’s tempting as a business to apportion blame to a person or group of people, it ignores conditions and processes that may have contributed to the incident. It also highlights that no matter how ‘safe’ your workplace is, there’s always a chance that a workplace emergency will occur when humans are involved.
Traditional evacuation systems require a fair amount of specialist installation, management and maintenance because they tend to be hard wired and permanently positioned. They also use a âpress and guessâ approach in that thereâs little visibility on the systemâs power or connectivity.
That leads to a high level of assumption that when a worker triggers an alert, the system will work. But in an emergency event thatâs not good enough. Technology is constantly evolving to utilise 21st-century innovations and the powerful computer weâre all carrying around in our pockets. Emergency systems should be evolving as well.
