Before you get started with the Tended devices on site, you'll need to activate your site's pre-drawn safe zones (geofences) on the Dashboard. You may also from time to time need to end a site early due to changes in the work package or temporarily pause to wait for an area to become safe again.
This article covers how to start, stop and restart a site. Let's dive in 👇
Safety information about start, stop and restart
Please note: Tended geofencing systems are not a replacement for any existing safe system of work processes. Please always follow your internal processes and fall back on these procedures.
You may need to pause, fully stop a worksite, or restart a site from time to time. This is quick and easy to do within the Dashboard. You may need to do this because:
You've had a call from a signaller saying a freight carriage is coming through, as these are unscheduled and can't be predicted
You've not been given the go-ahead to safely start
You're working on three lines and work finishes on one line, so the safe zone (geofence) for this line needs to be stopped whilst the other two safe zones are still active
You've noticed another safety issue that means you cannot allow the team to enter site or need to leave site unexpectedly
You can then either restart the site, or request a change to the site if your working location has changed or there is an issue with the safe zone (geofence).
You can do this by simply turning them off and on again.
This is so that the Wearable can receive the information about the changes.
❗️If you temporarily or fully stop a site, start any site or change a safe zone (geofence) you must reset your Tended devices. This applies to additional sites started after the first one.
