Real-time inspection

The i-Safe Intelligent Safety System is RFID-equipped fall protection equipment with web-based information management to maximise the effectiveness and minimise the total cost of safety programs.

All DBI-Sala fall protection harnesses are now i-Safe enabled, with i-Safe standard on all DBI-Sala equipment by the end of 2007.

Additionally, a retrofit kit will be available to incorporate the technology on existing equipment, regardless of brand.

The technology enables companies to track equipment assigned by worker or location, as well as download or view equipment user instruction manuals, inspection criteria and safety regulations quickly and effortlessly.

It has been designed to simplify the management of safety programs, as it allows the user to easily record and access information on inspections, inventory and related safety and equipment information.

The i-Safe RFID tags are read by portable electronic readers that scan and account for the equipment through unique serial numbers. Each tag's unique ID registers the product's model type and history. The tags have no battery to limit their life and are resistant to grease, dust and salt water to ensure efficient functionality.

The recorded data is instantly available through a customised i-Safe web portal, which is set up and hosted by DBI-Sala professional safety and information management consultants. The website also provides access to related safety and equipment information, training records and product advisories.
