Veolia chooses StaySafe app
VEOLIA’S WATER Division, situated across Australia and New Zealand, now uses StaySafe technology to adhere to Section 48 of the NSW Work Health and Safety Regulation 2017.
StaySafe is a smartphone app and cloud based monitoring hub which gives visibility of an employees location whilst they work alone. In an emergency, employees can use the app to raise a variety of alerts to ensure that help is sent immediately to the right location.
Workers are often situated at remote locations or unmanned sites where they are out of contact with other workers or members of the public for extended periods of time. In addition, poor phone reception in these locations can make it difficult to notify emergency services if there is an issue while staff are alone in the field.
In late 2020, Veolia made the decision to review and standardise their lone worker solution.
Following a successful trial, Veolia switched the 60 operators and maintenance staff across its 25 Hunter region sites to StaySafe. Since that time, Veolia has moved an additional 20 staff across three sites in the Illawarra Region to StaySafe.
