Ringway Jacobs adopts Peoplesafe and SureCam technology
Date: Thursday, August 31, 2023 | Author: Sean Keywood
Highway services company Ringway Jacobs has introduced technology from Peoplesafe and SureCam with the aim of protecting lone workers.
The firm wanted a personal safety system for its highway inspection team, said to be at risk of violent and abusive behaviour from road users, and accidents in remote locations.
It has introduced a video-enabled lone worker service, integrating the Peoplesafe Pro smartphone app with SureCam’s video telematics platform, with its fleet of 163 vans and specialist vehicles.
This is designed to provide drivers with a quick and easy way to request assistance, with Peoplesafe controllers able to access audio communication along with supporting video footage captured from cameras, as well as incident data.
Ringway Jacobs head of fleet David Bonehill said: “Health, wellbeing, and safety are at the heart of everything we do, so our aim is to always provide a safe working environment for our employees.
“This latest initiative, developed with our valued partners at Peoplesafe and SureCam, has not only increased compliance of our lone worker processes, but also extended and enhanced the levels of protection we can provide our drivers.”
Peoplesafe CEO Naz Dossa said: “We have taken our existing lone worker solution to the next level through this intelligent partnership with SureCam that places the end user first.
“The most significant impact we have seen is the peace of mind it provides to both employers and employees, making it an attractive proposition to those fleet operations, such as Ringway Jacobs, that prioritise people's safety and welfare.”
