Matt Miles is the Sussex District Supervisor at Cappagh Browne Utilities Limited. He is responsible to ensure that workers are safe and productive.
Cappagh Browne relies on portable gas detectors to make sure workers are safe on site. But with stand-alone units, they don't have convenient access to critical fleet maintenance and compliance information or to whom the detectors are assigned. Furthermore, manually managing the fleet of detectors was challenging as controlling detectors health and maintenance cause many distractions, interruptions, and downtime.
Cappagh Browne wanted to...
- Remote monitor the wellbeing of their employees and have full visibility on safety concerns so to improve their safety program.
- Streamline gas detection management and reduce detector downtime.
- Cappagh Browne set up MSA GALAXY® GX2 automated test stations in multiple counties so that team members could easily bump or calibrate their detectors, reducing detector downtime for servicing and maintenance.
- They adopted Grid Fleet Manager so they could monitor every aspect of their detection program, including detector use, alerts, compliance, and maintenance.
With the MSA gas detection program supported by the MSA ALTAIR® detectors, the GALAXY GX2 test banks and Grid services…
- Increased gas detector uptime and simplified gas detection fleet management by:
- eliminating the calibration and bump test service
- reducing the time spent managing the fleet of detectors
- Increased safety awareness of teams in the field and at the office, supporting the continuous improvement of their safety program.
