SHEXPO 2017 Traka proved its distinctive ability to offer bespoke intelligent key and equipment management systems for every application at Safety & Health Expo 2017, displaying its latest state- of the-art solutions.
The industry leader in intelligent key cabinets and locker systems demonstrated on stand N200, how it supports organisations to fulfil stringent health and safety requirements and implement superior management control, right from pre-operational safety checks through to loading management.
On the stand, Traka successfully showcased how its systems offer fault reporting, integrated alcohol testing and machine-start controlled access to fork truck and fleet management, ensuring only qualified staff can operate.
Traka was also able to display how it can help with audit control using the latest intelligent key management and even discuss with visitors tailored customer solutions to secure a wide variety of equipment and still present accountability, efficiency and significant cost savings.
Steve Bumphrey, Sales Director at Traka said: “Safety & Health Expo has proven once again to be a hugely important show for Traka, not only to showcase our latest product innovations, but also to provide us with an excellent platform to display our unique ability to operate as a solutions provider and accommodate bespoke requirements.
“The constant stream of visitors to our stand, and the event overall, was an important reflection of the need to enforce process and ensure compliance to the highest health and safety standards. It was clear visitors understood the importance of this and were keen to establish ways to create
a more efficient business operation, which is certainly an area where Traka can provide ongoing support.”

SITEZONE ENSURE WORKERS’ SAFETY
ON SITE A demolition contractor has taken a proactive lead on anti-collision safety by specifying the use of OnGrade’s proximity warning system, SiteZone, in its health and safety enforcement on site.
Until now, the use of SiteZone has been recommended by lead clients to all their sub-contractors on a project. However, Hughes and Salvidge has taken the corporate decision to insist on using the SiteZone Proximity Warning System on all projects at its Heathrow Airport operations that involve plant and on-ground personnel.

A first for OnGrade, the application of SiteZone in the demolition industry is a milestone in its quest to improve site safety awareness. OnGrade Director Gary Escott said: “The team at Hughes & Salvidge have shown just how dedicated they are to their staff’s safety, and using SiteZone will help them to reinforce and improve safety performance.”
All Hughes & Salvidge plant vehicles being used at Heathrow Airport have been fitted with SiteZone, which uses radio frequency identification (RFID) detection. This means that SiteZone can see around corners, through dust and smoke and in poor light conditions, giving targeted warning alarms to both drivers and workers on foot should they enter each other’s working area.
Plant and vehicles are fitted with SiteZone base stations, while site workers have RFID transponders fitted to their hard hat or sleeve. When a site worker breaches a predefined detection zone, both the worker and driver receive a ‘proximity warning’. The RFID tag vibrates, making the site worker aware of the vehicle, while the driver is alerted by sound and flashing lights in the cab of the vehicle. This two-way alarm feature is fundamental to site safety, since responsibility for avoiding accidents is shared by both parties.
SiteZone also logs incident data, which can be transmitted and viewed on the Cloud by using the telematics function. It collects essential data from SiteZone in the event of a zone breach to help managers monitor and improve site safety. Hughes & Salvidge site managers have full access to the system via a dedicated login, which enables them to view information such as the number of unauthorised entries into a safety zone and a real-time display of length of time spent within them.
