Lone Worker Safety · Chemical Manufacturing & COMAH
Lone Worker Safety for chemical manufacturing & comah sites.
Welfare monitoring that raises an alert when a worker stops moving or misses a check-in, before a bad day becomes a fatality. Purpose-built for the regulatory and operational realities of chemical manufacturing & comah.
The Salvus Network watches for the tell-tale signs of a lone-worker incident: someone who has stopped moving in a restricted area, missed a check-in window, or lingered somewhere they shouldn't. When a welfare condition is met, operators get an alert with the worker's last-read location so help can be dispatched immediately. It closes the gap between an incident and the response, which is where lone-worker outcomes are won or lost. For chemical manufacturing & comah operators, this means on a COMAH site, a delayed or inaccurate muster is not an inconvenience, it is a regulatory and human failure. Paper roll-calls and radio round-robins are too slow when a release or fire is unfolding, and they leave no defensible record. The Salvus Network detects every worker's safety tag at muster points and gates to give marshals a live, auditable head count in seconds, so search effort is directed accurately and the incident record writes itself.

Frequently asked questions
Is Lone Worker Safety suitable for chemical manufacturing & comah sites?+
Yes. The Salvus Network is a complete, off-the-shelf solution built for major-accident-hazard chemical environments. Safety Detection Points and safety tags give a live, auditable picture of where people were last detected, without turnstiles or manual sign-in.
How does Salvus support compliance for chemical manufacturing & comah operators?+
It produces a live, timestamped muster record and auditable access and time-on-site logs that evidence personnel accountability under COMAH 2015 Regulation 5 (major-accident prevention policy) and Regulation 7 (emergency planning), alongside DSEAR controls and HSG191 emergency-response guidance.
What does lone worker safety address on a chemical manufacturing & comah site?+
On a COMAH-regulated chemical site the priority is proving everyone is clear of a release or fire in seconds. The platform delivers a live SAFE / EVACUATING / MISSING muster, last-seen location for anyone still inside a hazard zone, and restricted-zone control around DSEAR and ATEX areas.
Can we see lone worker safety running before we commit?+
Yes, a guided live walk-through shows the platform in action, and you can see the operator console working in the first meeting.
