Heat Stress Online Monitoring Applications
Tradesmen/Landscapers
Labourers and tradespeople such as Road Crews, farmers, framers, welders, pipe fitters, landscapers, and construction crews are a susceptible to heat stroke and heat related injuries. A portable remote monitoring unit can be set up and send text messages reminding employees to take caution whenever a threshold is reached. A simple message such as “Take 5 minute break and drink liquids” could help prevent serious injury.
Factories/Warehouses
Indoor warehouses are difficult to cool in hot summer months. Permanent monitoring stations can be set up with local displays or callouts to allow employees to monitor their own heat-stress safety levels.
SMS and Email messages to supervisors or foremen add an additonal level of alarming to help keep your employee’s safe.
Mining
Due to the enclosed nature of mining heat exhaustion can be a concern. Wired monitoring allows communications to reach SCADACore and signal supervisors above ground, while SCADACore Alarm Stations can notify workers under ground.
Welding/Fabrication
Welders and fabricators deal with high heat all day long and are sometimes unaware of the dangers of ambient consistent heat and humidity. The SCADACore alarm stations can notify the workers and supervisors when it is time to drink more water and take a break from work.
Shipyards
Humidity in shipyards is always a concern during the hot summer months. Although temperatures can sometimes remain relatively low the humidity drives the heat-index and WBGT up causing concern for the workers. SCADACore alarm stations can ensure there are adequate warnings in place to keep your employees safe.
Construction
Long-term construction projects can require an immense safety presence on-site. Heat exhaustion is often overlook as it is not an immediate danger to most employees. SCADACore Alarm Stations and remote callouts can keep your employees safe while you are focusing on more pressing dangers.
SCADACore’s IIoT Live Heat Stress Overview
Online heat-stress monitoring takes the manual work out of the monitoring process. There are no thermometers or hygrometers to manual check and notify staff. Using the intelligent Email / SMS / Voice callout system, alerts can be sent to dozens of individuals at once, notifying them of precautions that need to be taken.
Current & Historical Conditions
Current conditions are color-coded and historical data are displayed for simple, convenient access.
Alarm Notifications
Escalating callouts allow administrators to set Email, Text, or Voice alerts for specific groups of people at specific heat levels. This allows foremen and supervisors to be alerted before employees when levels are elevated but not necessarily dangerous. Further escalation in temperature levels can alert employees or contractors on-site.
