Use Case: How Real-Time Alerts Prevented a Major Utility Disaster

An electrical substation in California. A lineman was installing new equipment when his glove insulation failed upon contact with a live wire.

A faulty glove about to touch electricity uh-oh!

Challenges

The utilities industry faces life-threatening risks from PPE failures and delayed hazard detection, which can lead to serious injuries or fatalities on the job. These failures not only endanger workers but can also result in costly downtime, liability claims, and regulatory penalties.

The Field1st Approach

Power line and sunny blue sky.

To prevent life-threatening and costly risks, Field1st goes to work, correcting dangerous behavior before it turns into disaster. Here’s how it helped:

1. Real-Time Monitoring

Field1st’s wearable safety sensors detected an anomaly in PPE conductivity.

2. Danger Alerts

A real-time AI alert was triggered, warning supervisors of a PPE failure.

3. Immediate Action

The lineman was instructed to stop work immediately before the next contact.

4. Timely Resolution

Upon inspection, his gloves were found to be compromised.

Faster response times save lives. Get instant alerts before incidents turn into disasters.
