When it comes to ensuring safety for lone workers, is real-time data important for gas detection programmes?
here’s been a lot of talk in the world of safety about the need for real-time data with gas detection systems. Although most will agree that real- time data benefits safety programmes by providing information that leads to better decision-making, some may wonder if real- time data is as crucial as they’ve heard. Te short answer is yes, and here’s why. A properly calibrated and bump-tested gas detector is a powerful personal protective device. By itself, however, it’s simply not enough to help ensure the highest level of safety. Tat’s where a connected work platform comes into play. A connected work platform combines
real-time data, connected PPE/gas detection wearables, and advanced software solutions, so you can have the best possible visibility across these areas of concern. In fact, connectivity enables the kind of visibility that can lead to a stronger safety programme and improved safety outcomes.

worker-worksite-workflow platform helps simplify safety, curb risk and boost productivity all at the same time. Plus, it sets you up for a scalable and adaptable safety programme for today – and tomorrow. Consider the below three reasons why
real-time data via a connected platform is a must for worker and worksite safety.
REAL-TIME DATA ENABLES REAL-TIME VISIBILITY FOR SAFETY TEAMS By their very nature, remote workforces leave safety managers disconnected from what’s happening on the job. So, what’s a disconnected and physically distant safety manager to do in the event of an unsafe incident, especially when every second counts? Here’s what they can do. Tey can
ensure that lone workers are not alone, thanks to the visibility provided by a
connected platform. If workers, worksites and workflows are not connected, there’s likely going to be too much lag time between incident and information – lag time that’s costly to both worker safety and infrastructure. With connectivity-enabled real-time data, safety managers can have continuous situational awareness. Tat means seeing the state of workers and monitoring their safety behaviours in the field. It means you’ll get gas exposure alerts, man-down alarms, panic button presses, and device concern warnings in real-time so you can act as swiftly as possible. Plus, it means simplifying compliance and improving productivity to help reduce risk and costly downtime. Real-time data gives safety managers
real-time visibility and awareness into what’s happening, so they can respond to incidents – and help improve safety of workers, worksites, and workflows – much faster. Te key to leveraging critical real-time
