footage , allowing them to monitor safety on-site and make data-driven decisions to mitigate risks . The company has also funded independent research studies to validate the system ’ s efficacy , and it is now leading safety discussions across the industry .
In partnership with NOCN CPCS , Flannery is also developing an accredited people plant interface ( PPI ) red zone course . This programme standardises safety protocols for managing exclusion zones around active machinery , ensuring operators and personnel know how to prevent accidents by maintaining these zones . Developed to streamline workforce management , software integrates real-time updates for compliance , fatigue management , and risk assessments . Fatigue is a major cause of workplace accidents , and this software ensures operators receive timely alerts to stay compliant and fit for duty . This system has already been embedded into Flannery ’ s operations .
The company has also co-designed and tested the world ’ s first geofencing plant and machinery avoidance system : Leica XWatch 3D . This system automatically stops machinery when it enters restricted zones , significantly reducing risks associated with machine-related incidents , and is instrumental in preventing collisions with infrastructure like services and gantries , a leading cause of injury .
To further enhance safety , Flannery has introduced an innovative secondary deadman lever on all its excavators . The system links with the seatbelt , ensuring machinery will not operate unless the seatbelt is fastened . This bespoke feature , developed through extensive research , mitigates the risk of bypassing safety controls , aligning with the HSE ’ s findings on the causes of accidents .
The company ’ s fleet of over 350 dualview dumpers is equipped with front and rear cameras to provide operators with full 360-degree visibility , addressing a critical issue of limited visibility that has historically contributed to numerous site accidents . In addition , Flannery has integrated vehicle collision avoidance systems ( VCAS ) to provide real-time alerts about potential hazards , reducing the likelihood of accidents .
To tackle the risks associated with working at height , Flannery has developed and patented bespoke dozer GPS mounting brackets . These brackets allow for safer and easier installation of GPS receivers , eliminating the need for operators to perform potentially hazardous tasks at height . Flannery will always focus on improving safety on site and improving technology for the betterment and safety of the industry . ■
