in vehicles and plant cabs compels the operators to stop and assess their situation if the alarm goes off.
It also gives them an added
sense of security knowing that SiteZone alerts them since there are often so many blind spots on large construction vehicles; seeing a pedestrian is not always possible.
ACCESSIBLE SAFETY – HIRE IT We would prefer to erase all the collision fatalities that have occurred on construction sites. Since we can’t change the past, we’d like to influence the future for the better. As part of our strategy to improve those accident statistics, Ongrade decided to partner with ESS Safeforce and make the SiteZone RFID proximity warning system available for hire.
That means that smaller businesses who are required to use the system on short-term contracts, can afford to equip themselves with RFID safety systems at a reasonable cost. It comes with the added security of replacement in the rare event that there’s a problem with the system.
ESS Safeforce has completed thousands of installations and also set

up a dedicated SiteZone team which works very closely with OnGrade. The team can perform site surveys, installation as well as training users on how to ensure they get the best results when using SiteZone.
LEARNING FROM SITE
COLLISION RISKS IN REAL TIME This RFID system isn’t only a real- time alert, but a benchmarking tool that logs all incidents online via its OverSite telematics option. With this data, site managers can identify any repeat offenders who are most at risk of injury from approaching vehicles without permission or through lack of awareness. Data recall informs targeted safety training, monitoring, saves on cost, time and improves efficiency.
The data is also shareable across multiple sites and can be compared. By using accurate data feedback, safety managers can cultivate a unified site-safety standard across the company and inform the direction of continued improvement.
RFID technology is taking its place as a valuable part of the safety toolkit. As more of us embrace the

technology, the potential to improve site safety practices increases. RFID tags aren’t just improving safety issues, but also improving the work-related health agenda as well. It brings an added benefit to employee wellbeing because it makes users feel secure. By making it easy to acquire and use, every site worker and plant operator should be protecting their bubble with RFID technology because the risk of having it burst just isn’t worth it.
