PeopleSafe PeopleSafe is an industry leader in lone worker solutions. The service includes a suite of SOS devices and apps to provide people working alone with a way to call for help in an emergency. The SOS alarm is then managed by an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) managed by PeopleSafe. The PeopleSafe ARC is accredited to all five parts of BS 8484:2022, ensuring the fastest police response if required, through their unique reference numbers (URNs), which are held for every UK police force. We have been trialling the service from PeopleSafe since the start of 2024 to help shape our lone worker policy and to understand how SOS devices can be used to manage the risks associated with lone working. The use of these devices also aligns with HSE recommendations in their guidance on protecting lone workers. Trials so far have been conducted by a group of FCOs in our West Midlands network as well as by our Land Support Team. We are now undertaking further trials with our Women in Cadent focus group, as well as a selection of Line Walkers.
LZ-30 The GAS TRAC LZ-30 is a methane laser-based gas detector. It uses Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) technology, which generates a specific wavelength of light that is sent through the gas monitoring area, partially absorbed by any methane source, and reflected back to the instrument by the reflection surface. The higher the methane concentration, the larger the absorption will be, resulting in a higher reading. Using this technology in an open path allows for the instrument to detect gas remotely, simply by pointing at the target anywhere from 0.5 to 30 meters away from the operator. The GAS TRAC LZ-30 methane detecting instrument, is being used by FCOsto find leaks that cannot be found utilising incumbent devices and procedures. It has proven beneficial when used in situations where full access is not granted and when monitoring risers on multi-occupancy buildings.
The GAS TRAC LZ-30 has a number of benefits, including: • Instantaneous and accurate detection: The TDLAS technology allows for fast and accurate detection of methane gas. • Remote detection: The instrument can detect methane gas from a distance of up to thirty meters, allowing operators to safely and effectively monitor areas that are difficult or dangerous to access. • Ease of use: The instrument is easy to use, with a simple interface and clear display. • Durable and reliable: The GAS TRAC LZ-30 is built to withstand the rigors of field use and is backed by a two-year warranty. • Versatile: The instrument can be used for a variety of applications, including leak detection, environmental monitoring, and safety monitoring.
