Description

A Portable Occupational Health/Safety Device for Field Workers and Related Method

Technical Field

The invention relates to a portable device used to ensure the health, security, environment and safety of field workers and the method related to the said device.

Prior Art

In the prior art, some devices are used to ensure the health, security, environment and safety of field workers. The mentioned devices detect whether there is a dangerous gas or situation in the environment with the help of sensors. This type of security devices are also called gas detectors. Gas detectors are generally used to detect flammable, combustible and toxic gases and the amount of oxygen in the environment.

Field workers may be injured and/or become ill as a result of extraordinary situations such as work accidents. In such cases, emergency response teams must be transferred to the relevant location quickly. However, it takes a lot of time to detect and locate the person in need of help, especially in areas with a large working area, and the time to provide first aid extends significantly. The extension of aid times causes serious damage to the employee (person in need of help) and even loss of life. In order not to cause such incidents, emergency response teams and/or authorized persons or units must arrive at the scene quickly.

In case of injury and/or death of field workers as a result of any work accident, it is very difficult to determine who is at fault. In such cases, employers or insurance companies may have to pay high amounts of compensation even if the fault is with the user. In order to avoid such incidents, the user (employee) must be warned before entering the accident scene. In addition, the warning information must be recorded. In the prior art, there is no device and method in which the information related to warning for the user is recorded.

The user may have an accident and be injured due to both the working environment and personal discomforts. In such cases, the user needs to be responded quickly. Especially in facilities classified as “very dangerous”, “dangerous” and “less dangerous”, emergency response teams must arrive at the scene quickly. However, due to the delay of the response teams, today many people can become permanently ill or even die. In the applications in the prior art, it is not possible to measure how long the response in the work areas takes, how long it takes for the authorized units or persons to arrive at the scene. This situation is of vital importance. For this reason, it is necessary to record the location of the incident and the time of arrival of the response teams/authorized units or persons to the scene. Since such events are not recorded, problems may arise in the future regarding security and judiciary. In the prior art, there is no device or method in which the arrival times of the emergency response teams and/or authorized units are recorded.

Situations of being exposed to toxic substances in the field are uncertain in the prior art. For example, it is unclear what gas the employee was exposed to and how long s/he was exposed to a toxic gas. For this reason, the response time is delayed a little longer, as it is not certain what kind of response the first aid teams will make. In the prior art, there is no device or method in which information about what kind of discomfort was experienced before the event without seeing the event, without anyone notifying the incident.

Gas sensor test device and methods are mentioned in the international patent application with the code WO2020191482A1 in the prior art. The portable gas detector expressed in the aforementioned device and method includes a gas sensor located in a room and configured to detect the gas in the environment surrounding the room. Also, to test the gas sensor, test gas is pumped from a gas source directly into the chamber through one or more inlets. In this way, besides the instant detection of the gas, it is also possible to test it later. In the device and method described in the document in question, the data read is sent to a computer. In emergencies, the emergency situation is first reported to the computer in the centre, and the authorized units and emergency response teams are directed by the centre. Since there is an interim administration, there are delays in sudden responses. In addition, there is no such thing as recording the arrival time of the emergency response teams and/or authorized units to the scene in the device in question. Besides, there is no mention of a device or method in which information about the discomfort experienced before the event is given without seeing the event, without anyone notifying the incident.

Purpose of the Invention

The purpose of the invention is to provide a portable occupational health/safety device and method in which the incident response time of the emergency response and first aid teams can be recorded and reported. Another aim of the invention is to provide an occupational health/safety device and method where information about the discomfort experienced prior to the incident is given, without anyone notifying the incident.

Another aim of the invention is to provide an occupational health/safety device and method with communication capability overall net protocols for decentralized customizable software.

Another aim of the invention is to provide an occupational health/safety device and method that enables the person to be warned even in noisy environments by performing vibration.

Another aim of the invention is to provide an occupational health/safety device and method that does not have to be connected to any central network.

Another aim of the invention is to provide an occupational health/safety device and method that does not cause other occupational accidents by being fixed in the arm and waist area as if it is a part of the body.

Another aim of the invention is to provide an occupational health/safety device and method that informs the specified person or persons by sending location information and emergency information via SMS.

Explanation of the Invention

The invention relates to a portable device used to ensure the health, security, environment and safety of field workers and the method related to the said device. The device subject to the invention consists of microprocessor (10), gyro (with pressure sensor) (20), communication module (GSM/GPS/GPRS module) (30), first card reader (contactless) (40), second card reader (Sd card reader) (50), gas sensor (60), audio device (buzzer) (70), panic button (80), lamps (90) that can light up in different colours, battery (100), vibration motor (110), on-off button (120), data warehouse (130) and location and status monitoring screen (140).

Gas sensor (60) includes the first gas sensor (61), the second gas sensor (62), the third gas sensor (63) and the fourth gas sensor (64). The number and type of said gas sensors (60) can be changed depending on the need and demand. On the device, there are gas sensors (60) that can detect LPG, CH4, CO, alcohol, hexane, benzene, h2, propane, methane, hydrogen, ammonia, smoke and all kinds of toxic gases. One, a few or all of the aforementioned sensors can be found together.

The device subject to the invention can be switched on and off with the on-off button (120). Instead of the on-off button (120), touch-operated or physical keys with different structures can be used. In an alternative application of the invention, the device can also be turned on and off with a remote connection.

There is an audio device (buzzer) (70) on the device subject to the invention. The audio device (buzzer) (70) can be operated by remote control. When the audio device (buzzer) (70) is powered on, it makes a beeping sound. With the warning sound, it is ensured that the person in need of help is warned and that it can be easily found by the emergency aid team or authorized units when urgent help is required. In alternative embodiments of the invention, the audio device (buzzer) (70) can warn the user by telling the type and amount of danger.

There is a panic button (80) on the device which is the subject of the invention. The panic button (80) is positioned so that it can be easily pressed on the device. When the panic button (80) is pressed, an alarm and warning is generated on the map screen, and a warning is sent to the authorized unit(s) by the device. If the card is not authorized or if there is a problem in card reading, the audio device (buzzer) (70) and/or the vibration motor (110) are turned off by pressing the panic button (80) three times.

Said warning is sent to authorized persons and/or units via SMS. The link in the message sent via SMS contains the location information of the person in need of help on the map. In this way, the person in need of help can be found easily by the authorized units.

While the location information of the person in need of help is transferred to the authorized units, the warning system on the device is also activated. Said warning is made by the audio device (buzzer) (70) and/or lamp (90) and/or vibration motor (110) on the device. In this way, the person in need of help can be identified immediately by the authorized units.

After the panic button (80) is found by the authorized units, the warning system active on the device can be closed by the authorized units and/or the first aid/response team. The said closing process can be done by the authorized and/or first aid team by scanning the card or pressing the panic button (80) a second time.

The card owned by the authorized person and/or by the first aid team is scanned with the first card reader (contactless) (40) on the device. The emergency help call initiated with the scanning process is closed. Authorized unit(s) needs to scan one of the authorization cards or press the panic button (80) three times in a row in cases where the card is unreachable in order to ensure that the emergency call is closed. Thus, the response time of the emergency response and first aid teams to the incident is also recorded. In addition, the mentioned intervention time can be reported. In alternative embodiments of the invention, the number of pressing the panic button (80) to get a report and/or to silence the audio device (buzzer) (70) can vary.

A second card reader (Sd card reader) (50) is also positioned on the device to ensure that the data recorded in the data warehouse (130) is recorded on cards such as SD cards. The second card reader (Sd card reader) (50) enables the data recorded in the data warehouse (130) to be taken to the external media for use in the external media and for all kinds of portable memory to be read.

A gyro (with pressure sensor) (20) is located on the device subject to the invention. Thanks to the gyro (with pressure sensor) (20) with pressure sensor, when the pressure in the environment rises or decreases above normal levels, the audio device (buzzer) (70) and/or the vibration motor (110) on the device gives a warning and the user is warned.

There is an oxygen sensor on the device which is the subject of the invention. The oxygen level in the environment is measured with the oxygen sensor. When the oxygen level in the environment decreases, the audio device (buzzer) (70) and/or the vibration motor (110) on the device gives a warning and the user is warned.

There is an accelerometer on the device subject to the invention. Thanks to a special algorithm, the audio device (buzzer) (70) and/or the vibration motor (110) on the device gives a warning by detecting the fall of the person in all situations due to a person's fall, and the user is warned.

There is a vibration motor (110) on the device which is the subject of the invention. In all warning situations that may occur with the vibration motor (110), the device vibrates and the person is warned even in noisy environments.

The device, which is the subject of the invention, detects the location information instantly. Gas, oxygen and pressure levels in the environment are instantly transmitted to a determined server using the GPRS technology in the communication module (GSM/GPS/GPRS module) (30). The transmitted data is displayed on the map screen to authorized units or persons through icons that change according to the situation in the environment.

There is an inactivity sensor on the device which is the subject of the invention. If the person stays still for a specified period of time, the audio device (buzzer) (70) and/or the vibration motor (110) on the device gives a warning and the user is warned. Thanks to the inactivity sensor, notification is sent to the authorized unit(s) in extraordinary situations, even in situations when person works by lying down. This notification can also be viewed live on the map.

The smoke detector on the device detects the smoke level in the environment and the sound system i.e., audio device (buzzer) (70) and/or vibration motor (110) on the device gives a warning and warns the user. The audio device (buzzer) (70) is activated when ambient detector sensors and elements such as first gas sensor (61), second gas sensor (62), third gas sensor (63), fourth gas sensor (64), panic button (80), gyro (with pressure sensor) (20), oxygen sensor, vibration motor (110), inactivity sensor and smoke detectors detect an unusual situation. With the activation of the audio device (buzzer) (70), the user's location information is also sent as a notification to the authorized unit(s) by the device. The location information contained in the aforementioned notification can also be viewed live on the map. The notification is sent to the authorized units and/or persons via SMS.

The processes of sending continuous location, sending SMS, sending HTTP data and saving the data to the data warehouse (130) are performed and controlled by the microprocessor (10). In short, all of the data processing and data flow processes on the device are carried out by the microprocessor (10).

The device subject to the invention includes a communication module (GSM/GPS/GPRS module) (30). The communication module (GSM/GPS/GPRS module) (30) supports wireless internet communication. Thanks to wireless internet access, transactions such as remote instant monitoring, sending warnings, notifications and information can be done easily. However, the device subject to the invention does not have to stay connected to any central network. With its customizable net (UDP, TCP/IP, http Protocols) protocol, it can send information to any desired net port and address, or to the cloud environment. Thus, custom software can be developed. In addition, thanks to the said communication module (GSM/GPS/GPRS module) (30), it can send SMS without being connected to any centre.

The device subject to the invention records how long the users are exposed to which gas. With the information it has recorded, it provides support to first aid teams during their first aid needs. The recorded data is recorded in the data warehouse (130)

The device subject to the invention can be covered with an extra sheath suitable for use in explosive atmospheres. In this way, the protection of the device is ensured in facilities with explosive, flammable and combustible properties.

There is an elastic armband on the device which is the subject of the invention. Thanks to the armband, the device can be fixed on any arm of the person. There is also a spring-loaded waist clip on the back of the device. With the spring-loaded waist clip, the user can easily attach the device to the waist area. In this way, the person can fix the device either on his/her waist or on his/her arm in a way that does not prevent him/her from working according to the environment in which s/he works. In this way, the device is prevented from causing any other work accidents.

The device subject to the invention placed in a hard silicon protection box in a way that gas sensors (60), lamps (90), audio device (buzzer) (70) and panic button (80) are visible. In addition, there is a silicone coating on the device. Thanks to silicone, it is resistant to impacts such as falling and hitting. The device subject to the invention is suitable for use in cold and hot weather conditions thanks to the sheath and coating used. It is resistant to liquid splashes such as snow, rain, etc., dust and water.

There are first lamp (91), second lamp (92), third lamp (93) and fourth lamp (94) on the device. In the preferred application of the invention, LED lamps are used as the lamp (90). The meaning of said lamps (90) is explained below.

The first lamp (91) lighting up every one second means that a dangerous situation has started to occur in the environment. In addition, the sound of the audio device (buzzer) (70) ringing once in a second and the vibration motor (110) vibrating once in a second also means that a dangerous situation begins to occur in the environment. If the first lamp (91) is on every three seconds; it means that any detected gas level starts to rise or the oxygen level starts to decrease or the pressure rises, that is, a dangerous situation begins to occur.

Continuous lighting of the second lamp (92) means power on. If the said second lamp (92) does not come on, it means that there is no power in the device.

If the third lamp (93) blinks every three seconds, it means that GSM and GPRS connection is provided. In cases where the mentioned connection cannot be achieved, the third lamp (93) blinks every three seconds.

If the fourth lamp (94) is constantly on; battery level means more than 50%. If the said fourth lamp (94) blinks every three seconds, the battery level is less than 50%, and if it blinks every one second, the battery level is below 10%. If the fourth lamp (94) does not light at all, it means no charge. The device needs to be charged.

In alternative embodiments of the invention, different numbers of lamps (90) that can bum in different colours can be used instead of four different lamps (90). In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the first lamp (91) is red, the second lamp (92) is blue, the third lamp (93) is green and the fourth lamp (94) is yellow.
