We often talk about the importance of reducing incident response times but do we really know how to ensure our sites have the best measures in place to make sure the length of time between an accident and the response is kept as lean as possible?
Read on to find out how Checkpoint’s range of safety solutions can reduce incident response times either on or off-site.
We so often ask ourselves here at Checkpoint: What solutions can we offer to the construction, industrial and manufacturing industry to make safety more “affordable, simple and accessible”?
So we came up with our range of first responder trolleys.
Our first responder trolleys feature a lightweight base that can be customised with almost any combination of first aid, fire safety, spill containment products, Cygnus call points and so much more. Let us know what you need to ‘Reduce Incident Response Times’ on your site, in your factory or anywhere there is a need for safety.
These lightweight first responder trolleys are particularly effective on sites that are expansive or have very open plans, where workers may not have easy access to first aid, fire and spill safety products. So the simple solution is to load up a first responder trolley, take it out on-site for the day, and you have the resource close at hand.
Some of our most popular safety items that can be attached to the first responder trolleys include:
Cygnus Wireless Nurse Call Systems
Our Cygnus system can be configured to suit almost any site from shipping yards and manufacturing plants to warehouses and construction sites. Whether you have a complicated layout or an open plan workspace, we have technicians who will design a layout that will work to effectively alert you of an emergency on-site.
The addition of our Cygnus call points on the first responder trolleys is key to reducing response time between an accident, fire or first aid emergency and the response as it works via a wireless mesh network that will connect to the control panel; the control panel can be programmed to have a radio module or SMS module. This further reduces incident response time by making a radio voice announcement over all radios in the system that there has been an accident or fire in a location that has been programmed into the system, or it can be programmed to send an SMS message to the mobile numbers of key incident response individuals on-site with the location of the incident. Hence, the Cygnus system alerts incident response personnel immediately so that the response time can be kept to an absolute minimum and damage is kept as minimal as possible.
First Aid Kits
Our range of first aid kits provides endless options for any site-specific needs, and can be fastened onto the trolley for safekeeping and easy access.
Fire Protection
The first responder trolleys are designed to hold fire extinguishers of any size, with the help of yet another option for a cradle. Since these trolleys can be moved so easily, they can be positioned in the highest-risk locations to ensure that a fire can be extinguished ASAP.
Cabinets
These heavy-duty cabinets fit snuggly on the trolley to keep fire extinguishers, first aid kits, defibrillators, and spill kits out of the weather and secure from vandals.
Stickers and Signs
Attach stickers and signs that identify what is on your trolley for easy and quick access.
Snap Frames
These simple weatherproof snap frames can be used to display emergency evacuation plans, emergency contacts, emergency procedures or even just your company logo to keep track of your assets.
As you can observe, these simple lightweight trolleys are the ultimate solution to reducing the time between an incident and responding with the correct procedure.
There is more!
Steel Safety Station
A robust station that can be used outside or inside to house all your safety, PPE and incident response items, a steel safety station is the perfect incident response solution for sites that have large numbers of workers on-site and need something heavy duty. It is easily movable by pallet jack or forklift, making it easy to move it to an easy-access location or where work may be happening, to ensure it’s where it is needed at all times.
SiteHUB
A more lightweight portable option, the budget timber option comes flat packed with easy push-together fittings. The flat pack options also make it super easy to store when not in use. However, its capabilities are still great with the same attachment options as the steel station.
Conclusion
When budgeting for safety, emergency and evacuation systems for your site, ask yourself how much would it cost to lose an employee because of an incident that wasn’t responded to quickly enough? How much does a new machine cost if a fire breaks out and the right extinguishing tools weren’t close enough to minimise the damage? What’s the current length of time it takes to evacuate your site in the event of an emergency and what assets would you lose because the evacuation wasn’t quick enough?
Keeping your staff and assets safe in the event of an incident is your responsibility! Get in touch with us today to secure your site with an incident response unit, and save lives, money and time.
