Worker Alerts
WARNING
1. Worker alerts generated by the connected system should not to be used in place of existing
safety program policies, practices and procedures. They are designed to be supplemental to an
established safety program. To reduce the risks associated with exposure to workplace hazards
which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death, users should follow all Safety
Supervisor direction on how to respond to alerts that may be experienced. The user’s situational
awareness should remain as one of the primary safety aspects in determining if there is a
condition that requires attention or to immediately leave an exposure area. Always follow
integrated TR-600 alarms when present.
3M™ Connected Proximity Beacons are installed in the environment for area identification
and rule assignment to those areas. As a 3M™ Connected Safety Hub walks within range of a
beacon signal, it detects the area change and puts into effect any rules associated with the
area being approached.
When the Connected Sensor is paired with an associated Connected Safety Hub, the system
will alert a user of potential risks based on detected exceptions to pre-determined rules
defined by Employer’s authorized Safety Professional. When the system generates an alert, it
will provide vibratory feedback and visual LED indicators for the user to know when there is
an active alert. There are two alert levels that can be experienced:
Attention
- A condition has occurred that may require the user’s attention.
- Amber colored LED’s in the sensor module while it’s vibrating will indicate an attention
alert is currently active.
Critical
- A condition has occurred that may require the user to leave the exposure area to
resolve the condition.
- Red colored LED’s in the sensor module while it’s vibrating will indicate a critical alert
is currently active.
Alerts will remain active until the condition is resolved or a designated safe area has been
entered by the user, such as a donning / doffing room. Critical alerts will always take
precedence over attention-level alerts and override any attention alerts that may be active.
