Confined space entry is one of the most hazardous tasks in workplaces. On a daily basis, numerous Toxfree employees are required, as part of their duties, to perform confined space entry tasks.
Toxfree decided to implement a new system, Confined Space i-Watch Surveillance, for the purpose of reducing risks associated with the work and to streamline the process. The system utilises a GoPro digital camera with Wi-Fi capabilities and can be attached to a hard hat worn by the operator or to a telescopic pole.
Using this package allows the footage to be transmitted to smart phones or tablets, enabling operators and/or customers to review the footage in real time, assess the job thoroughly and complete the required assessments. The innovation enables real-time risk identification, elimination, awareness and accident prevention, creating a safer work environment.
As a result of the i-Watch Surveillance system, Toxfree Solutions was recognised as an ABA100 Winner for Best Eco Product in The Australian Business Awards 2014.
