OSHA calls for the prompt rescue of employees in the event of a fall. When that prompt rescue relies only on a by-chance discovery of the worker hanging and unable to self-rescue, the new Grace WorkForce uses an advanced gyro/accelerometer to detect a worker’s fall and automatically transmits an emergency alert to co-workers or supervisors – without any action required by the worker.
WorkForce fall detection is a refined solution keeping an employer one step ahead of OSHA’s prompt rescue requirement. It provides an immediate notification as the trigger to initiate a prompt rescue for all workers, especially those unable to self-rescue.
Designed originally for use in fixed facilities, WorkForce can now be combined for use with the new Grace Connected Safety Cellular and Satellite Gateway product line, offering in-field mobile or portable safety monitoring from any location. www.gracefallsafety.com
