Accidents may occur during construction work, as well as the installation, operation and maintenance of lifts when the work is done inside or near the lift shafts. Therefore, it is important to enhance the site safety to protect the workers.
The Safety Belt Alarm System developed by LSCM is a real-time sensing system that is used to monitor the engagement of safety belts at work sites. The system will detect any dangerous situations, such as the absence of the lifeline, the irregular positioning of the lock, or the improper engagement status of the hook, etc. If any dangerous situations are detected, the system will notify the site workers in real time to remind them to engage their safety devices properly.
The trial run of the system is being conducted in the work sites of Unistress Building Construction Ltd. to protect the safety of its workers. It provides an alert to the safety officer in case the safety belt is not properly engaged to the lifeline, or improper usage of the safety belt is detected for lift shaft works.
This system can improve the Safety-at-Work practice for working at height.
