ICM CASE #1 IMPROVING LONE WORKER SAFETY One of the world’s largest building material companies sought to improve safety for lone workers. ICM provided the expertise to find the most suitable system. The company chose the simple, sturdy and technologically advanced TWIG Protector Pro from the Finnish Twig Com. ICM assisted the company all the way from the planning to the implementation stage. INTRODUCTION As subsidiaries of the German HeidelbergCement AG, the second largest cement producer in the world, DK Beton and HC Pumps & Trucks (HCPT) are characterised by their solid foundation in occupational health and safety. The company actively seeks to shape a safety-oriented corporate culture. This includes the use of modern technology such as e-learning and smartphone apps as well as traditional employee one-onones, meetings and courses. THE CHALLENGE DK Beton and HCPT wanted to improve safety for workers who carry out solitary tasks where there is a risk of slipping or being stuck, such as cleaning concrete mixers and trucks. Previously, procedures for routine phone call calls and text messages had been in place. However, this system proved to be not only ineffective for the employees assigned to guard duty, but the response time was too slow, which can be fatal in an emergency. ICM’s consultant analysed the specific needs of the company and presented several personal alarm solutions, also known as lone worker or man down alarms. DK Beton specifically required a robust and sophisticated system that could be implemented in the company’s 17 Danish factories with different workflows and procedures. This required a personal alarm with a high degree of configurability.
