LONE WORKER SAFETY SOLUTIONS
FARM, HORTICULTURE & FORESTRY WORKERS
In the farm and forestry sector, lone workers contend with a myriad of challenges amidst vast and secluded landscapes. Often operating without immediate peer support, they face hazards ranging from equipment accidents and exposure to unpredictable weather to potential encounters with wildlife. The absence of cellular networks in remote areas intensifies these risks, making communication and emergency response challenging. Robust safety protocols, comprehensive training, and the use of advanced communication which may include satellite-connected tools become paramount, ensuring the well-being of forestry workers as they navigate the complexities of solitary work in the expansive and often unpredictable forestry environment.
INDUSTRIAL FORESTRY
Industrial forestry workers operating alone in remote areas encounter significant risks inherent to their solitary roles. Hazardous machinery operations, potential equipment malfunctions, and exposure to adverse weather conditions are heightened without immediate peer support. The vast and isolated landscapes amplify these challenges, often impeding communication and emergency response. Robust safety measures, comprehensive training, and advanced communication tools, including satellite-connected devices, are imperative to mitigate the risks associated with industrial forestry work, safeguarding the well-being of lone workers navigating these demanding and often hazardous environments.
SAWMILLS
Sawmill workers frequently find themselves in solitary roles, navigating the complexities of operating heavy machinery and handling cutting equipment without immediate peer support. This isolation significantly heightens the inherent risks, amplifying the dangers of accidents and injuries. In such scenarios, the challenges of accessing timely assistance during emergencies become more pronounced. Furthermore, the work environment introduces additional hazards, including the potential for equipment malfunctions and exposure to wood dust, further complicating their tasks. Robust safety protocols and stringent preventive measures are paramount to mitigate these multifaceted risks and ensure the safety and well-being of sawmill workers in the often isolated and hazardous settings they operate within.
FARMING
As well as cattle, machinery and physical labour, farm workers face the risks of working alone. Farming operates at a vast scale, and yet employs a relatively small amount of people. This means that there can be a real problem of oversight. Simply put, farm workers are spread out, often work alone, and are working high-risk jobs. Your main responsibilities are to bring a similar level of supervision and communication to your lone workers that they would see if they were working in a team.
