Lone workers in the oil and gas industry face unique challenges that make immediate access to emergency assistance critical. Whether they’re working in isolated areas or managing high-risk tasks, these workers require systems that ensure they can call for help at the first sign of trouble. Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) have become an essential part of modern safety protocols, providing workers with a lifeline to support when they need it most.

Basin Safety Consulting specializes in training workers to use PERS devices effectively, helping companies protect their employees and meet regulatory standards. In this blog, we’ll explore how PERS works, why it’s so crucial for lone workers, and how Basin Safety Consulting ensures that workers are fully prepared to use this life-saving technology.

How PERS Enhances Lone Worker Safety

PERS devices are designed to provide immediate access to emergency assistance, no matter where a worker is located. Here’s how they improve safety for lone workers:

1. Instant Access to Help

With the press of a button, workers can instantly send an alert to their supervisor or emergency services. This feature is especially important for lone workers who may be injured or incapacitated in remote areas.

2. Fall Detection

Many PERS devices include fall detection, which automatically sends an alert if a worker falls or collapses. This feature ensures that help can be dispatched even if the worker is unable to call for it.

3. Hazardous Gas Monitoring

In environments where workers may be exposed to dangerous gases like H2S, PERS devices can be integrated with gas detection systems. If dangerous levels of gas are detected, the PERS device sends an immediate alert, allowing for swift evacuation and emergency response.

4. Location Tracking

PERS devices are equipped with GPS tracking, allowing supervisors to pinpoint a worker’s location in real-time. This feature is crucial for lone workers operating in vast or complex environments, ensuring that emergency teams can reach them quickly in case of an accident.

Training Workers on PERS at Basin Safety Consulting

While PERS devices are designed to be user-friendly, proper training is essential to ensure that workers know how to use them effectively in emergencies.
