Personal alert safety system (PASS)#

Utilization of the PASS “Loner M6” (BlackLineSafety) available in BT1 and BT2. PASS is a device used by a person working alone in a potentially dangerous environment. The device allows calling for rescue in case of problem. The call can be triggered voluntarily or automatically, in the event of a fall for example.

The lone worker should pick up and register the utilization of the PASS in the logbook. After use, they should ensure the device is correctly plugged to charge the battery.

Overview#

   1. falling
   2. immobile for more than 5 minutes

2. Therefore, the PASS automatically sets off a pre-alarm, which warns the user. If this pre-alarm is not reset, the PASS calls the emergency number 5555.

3. In case of emergency, the PASS can also be used to call manually 5555.

4. It is recommended when:

   1. working in isolated rooms,
   2. performing dangerous activities
   3. working alone during the evenings or weekends

5. It is forbidden to perform dangerous experiments during the night and weekends (including work with Piranha solution, highly corrosive or explosive compounds).
