raeger Safety UK, a global leader in the field of safety technology, and Isle Systems, a provider of lone worker protection technology, have launched a joint, integrated, all-in-one portable gas
detection and lone worker solution. The solution is aimed at protecting workers operating in hazardous environments, where it is important to ensure the safety of lone workers while maintaining gas detection priorities. As part of this launch, ANT Telecom (ANT), the automated communications specialists, will work with Draeger Safety UK to distribute the offering within the UK market. The overall partnership between the three companies will enable organisations in many sectors – including energy, water and wider utilities, telecoms, and food and drink production – to protect employees easily and cost effectively, streamlining worker safety.
Dräger’s experience in manufacturing reliable Bluetooth-enabled gas detectors, combined with Isle Systems’ innovative lone worker system has created a robust solution that enhances safety without the need for any additional hardware, therefore saving on the cost of acquiring a brand new system. Furthermore, this strategic partnership addresses a long-standing gap in the market: the need for a flexible, streamlined and integrated system that protects workers from gas exposure and lone-working risks simultaneously.
PORTABLE GAS DETECTION SOLUTIONS
THE BENEFIT OF A COMBINED GAS DETECTION AND LONE WORKER SOLUTION
ANT Telecom and Draeger Safety UK will be responsible for taking this solution to the market in the UK. Chris Potts, marketing director, ANT Telecom says, “This integrated solution allows any Bluetooth-enabled Dräger gas detector to be paired with Isle Systems’ lone worker app, installed on a worker’s existing smartphone. Although some all-in-one devices may appeal to businesses, they can lack practicality; because often workers prefer not to carry their gas detectors when they believe they are not needed. This leaves them vulnerable and unprotected in many other lone- working situations.”
“In comparison, the joint Dräger and Isle Systems solution enables lone workers to use their current Bluetooth Dräger gas detectors in conjunction with their own smartphones, and with the Isle Systems lone worker app installed, eliminating the need to invest in new devices. So, if a lone worker does not require their gas detector, then they have the lone worker app and supporting communications infrastructure to help. This failsafe protects the organisation and
