CoreRFID's CheckedOK safety system improves the accuracy of inspection and reporting, increases the accountability of inspecting engineers and saves costs by reducing manual data capture.
Safety in the Workplace
Experience shows that the best way to improve health and safety measures is to make it easy to do the right things, to make following the correct procedures part of the every-day way of doing the job. CoreRFID developed the CheckedOK solution to help achieve this, reducing time lost through sickness or accidents and avoiding the risks of litigation or regulatory sanctions.
CoreRFID's CheckedOK solution prompts regular checking of health and safety measures. It helps to monitor the usage of equipment where exposure to noise or vibration poses a risk to the operator. It can be used to ensure that assets are tested in accordance with safety requirements.
CheckedOK is just one of the safety solutions from CoreRFID. You can read how CoreRFID worked to help improve safety for the users of Structural Metal Decks safety netting in this case study. For information on how CoreRFID worked with Reactec to create a system that reduces the risk of workers being exposed to industrial injuries resulting from vibration in hand held tools, an overview the Reactec RFID System is available here. CoreRFID has also developed a solution for checking fume cabinets in the pharmaceutical and health care industries and helped to improve health & safety inspections for Scottish Water sites for the Galliford Morgan Joint Venture.
“The CoreRFID solution makes tracking the use and testing of nets easier helping us to manage net safety more effectively.” Mark Pickles, Co-Founder, G&M Safety Netting
What can RFID do?
RFID helps by automating the identification and tracking of safety critical assets and inspecting engineers. It provides clear accountability for inspections and automates the production of reports required by legislation.
The CheckedOK Solution
CheckedOK helps to improve workplace safety and make regulatory compliance easy and cheaper.Tagging devices can prompt appropriate inspection for that specific device and allow recording of the fact that it was inspected at a particular time and by a specific engineer. The data can be brought together to compare the perfromance at different sites, inspection reports and schedules for inspection can be produced automatically. CheckedOK is eay to install and quick to implement.
RFID & Public Safety
RFID solutions can also contribute to public safety by making it easy to check that safety inspections are carried out. Applications can be found in public transportation where RFID can be used to ensure that escalators are regularly checked, lift inspections are carried out when planned, travelators are checked, exit doorways are not blocked are and other mass transit systems are monitored to avoid the risk of faiulure reducing service or endangering the public. You can read an overview of how CoreRFID has provided a maintenance solution to to London Underground that helps to improve safety checking across escalator steps.
