Traditional vs. Digital Confined Space Monitoring: Enhancing Safety During Turnarounds
As industries evolve, so do the methods and technologies employed to ensure the safety of workers during maintenance turnarounds. Confined space monitoring, a critical aspect of these operations, has traditionally relied on manual methods that pose inherent risks to workers and managers alike. In contrast, digital confined space monitoring offers a safer, more efficient alternative, mitigating health and safety hazards and improving overall operational effectiveness.

During turnaround projects, it’s essential to have the right overview of information, at the right time.
With the release of our web application, a new feature in the VISICS monitoring system, our operators, supervisors, and contractors can easily have relevant actionable insights at their fingertips.
Our goal is to bring complex and simple data alike together in a meaningful and easy-to-understand manner – breaking down data silos.
For our digital monitoring operators, the web application dashboard contains static emergency-related information, weather forecasts, safety guidelines, and other quick need-to-know information. (See photos below!)
It also enables operators to easily document occurrences and incidents, digitally, with supporting documentation such as text, video, or photo footage. With the click of a button, these reports can be exported for easy end-of-day handover or incident escalation.
We’re excited to be piloting the web application during a major turnaround project at a refinery in Wales, in February.
Stay tuned to learn more about the pilot and results!
VISICS is the state-of-the-art and digital solution for increased safety during maintenance turnarounds and shutdowns. Being one of the top innovations in the safety industry, VISICS answers to the demands of enterprises worldwide looking for increased safety levels at lower cost.
