Alert Workers To A Jobsite Evacuation in Real-time

Triax Technologies Inc. has announced Spot-r EvacTag, a construction-specific solution that alerts workers to a jobsite evacuation in real-time.

Integrated with its proprietary network and with a wearable clip, Spot-r EvacTag augments current evacuation procedures with a high-decibel, visible alert. Designated personnel can trigger each EvacTag on site via the Spot-r dashboard, and upon hearing or seeing the alert, workers are trained to evacuate to their muster point. The Spot-r dashboard allows supervisors to account for real-time worker headcounts and locations during evacuations, via their Spot-r Clips, helping to ensure safe egress.

Placed on each floor or near each exit, Spot-r EvacTag is a plug-and-play solution that requires no daily maintenance and adheres to any surface. In the hazardous construction environment with competing noises and priorities, Spot-r EvacTag supplements the alerts sent to each worker’s Spot-r Clip with a high-decibel siren and LED lighting. Designated supervisors can trigger the evacuation alarm via the cloud-based dashboard, accessible from a smart device or desktop. The dashboard also provides real-time headcounts and worker locations by floor and zone, allowing supervisors to monitor evacuation progress.

Spot-r EvacTag is intended to increase safety and enhance safety best practices on the jobsite, and should be used in conjunction with, and not as a replacement to such practices.
