Network Rail has approved the SiteZone Safety proximity warning system as a suitable safety solution to reduce collision risk between personnel and vehicles or plant on rail projects.
The system produces a detection zone around a vehicle, machine or restricted area. When the detection zone is breached by personnel wearing a SiteZone tag, the machine operator is alerted to their presence and can take the appropriate action.
As part of the Network Rail approval process, a site-based behavioural study using SiteZone was undertaken by the University of Nottingham and 2020 SHE Solutions. The results showed that SiteZone “made people more aware of the risks associated with working around plant and had therefore made the site safer”.
