Safety System

 

The Safety System provides a visual means of notifying users of the safety status of personnel and equipment.  Users can also log safety events that provide a historical record for each employee and piece of equipment.  Additionally, the system can prevent unsafe crew and equipment assignments by placing administrative holds.
