Revolutionizing confined space safety management: a case study
Paper Number: Peer reviewed paper APOGCE-2020-AJ19152
Elie Daher and Darrell Dowd, from United Safety, present a groundbreaking approach to confined space safety management in their peer-reviewed paper APOGCE-2020-AJ19152, titled “Revolutionizing Confined Space Safety Management: A Case Study.” The paper was presented at the SPE Asia Pacific Oil & Gas Conference and Exhibition held from November 17 to 19, 2020. Addressing the challenges of ensuring safety during confined space work, the authors highlight the conventional reliance on safety attendants stationed outside the confined space. They introduce a transformative solution leveraging technological advancements, integrating gas detection, video surveillance, two-way communication, access control, and a centralized command center. The innovative system, featuring real-time gas detection, day-night vision cameras both inside and outside vessels, video recording, and communication tools, enhances safety, boosts productivity, and reduces costs.
Real Time Location System (RTLS) – TeQ Shield™ Tracker Brochure
The one-stop solution for all your tracking and monitoring requirements.
The TeQ Shield™ Tracker is a flexible, scalable, cost-effective and versatile tracking system that can be customized to your exact requirements. Our Real time Location System (RTLS) leverages instantaneous positioning technologies: Active Radio-frequency Identification (RFID) or Ultra-Wideband (UWB) for real-time monitoring, tracking, locating and managing your personnel and assets from a central point.
RFID offers positioning by using radio waves to wirelessly transmit the location. UWB imparts precise indoor positioning with less than one-meter accuracy through short-range radio technology.
The result? Continuous, real-time, long distance employee tracking within your facility.

Rescue Planning Operations for Vertical Column Work
United Safety developed safe work practices and performed rescue planning operations for vertical column work as part of the turnaround activities in an offshore platform in Angola. We also developed a confined space simulator to ensure all team members were trained in proper entry and rescue procedures.
