Contractor and lone-worker safety across 38 substations.

A European transmission operator needed worker safety and contractor control across 38 substations during outages.

Substation safety scene
The challenge

What they were up against.

Lone workers invisible

Technicians at remote substations had no reliable way to raise an alarm.

Clipboard contractor control

Outage contractor control was a manual, paper exercise.

HV clearance by procedure

Keeping people clear of energised equipment relied on procedure, not interlocks.

Our approach

Vendor-neutral, outcome-led.

We delivered contractor and lone-worker tracking with geofenced high-voltage safety zones during outages, across 38 substations.

How we solved it

What we delivered.

  • Lone-worker SOS and man-down detection
  • Geofenced high-voltage exclusion zones
  • Contractor on-site register with exit reconciliation
