Vehicle Proximity Alert Safety System (VPASS)
Forklift collisions and collisions with trucks, cranes, and other onsite vehicles are a common cause of onsite incidents. The Vehicle Proximity Alert Safety System (VPASS) tackles this challenge.
Key Challenge
In plants, workers are often focused on the task at hand while moving through the plant. Conversations with fellow employees, attention to other functions in the plant and a general increased level of distractions, coupled with the inability to hear oncoming traffic exposes the worker to higher level of risks associated with moving vehicle incidents. Even with increased training and tool box meetings, the risk is still elevated.
How does it work?
The Vehicle Proximity Alert Safety System warns workers when they are within a set distance of a vehicle equipped with the system.
When a VPASS-equipped vehicle approaches a worker wearing a VPASS-enabled tag, the tag alerts the worker that the vehicle is nearby. The alert uses vibration, sound, or both.
The alert distance is configurable and can change in real time based on the vehicle’s location in the plant.
VPASS can be installed on forklifts, cranes, large trucks, and other vehicles that may pose a risk to workers onsite.
Its flexible rental model makes it suitable for both short-term and long-term projects.
Where can it be used?
Forklift and vehicle tracking is ideal for oil and gas, industrial, logistics, manufacturing, mining, construction and any environment that has forklifts, trucks and other moving vehicles on site.
