Award winning

Accenture Life Safety Solution is a wireless-enabled multi-gas detection system that helps protect workers in potentially hazardous environments.

It has received an 'industrial hygiene product of the year' award from Occupational Health & Safety magazine. It integrates Wi-Fi and location-based technologies with multi-gas (hydrogen sulphide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon and oxygen) detectors.

Developed by Accenture, Industrial Scientific, Cisco and AeroScout, it helps companies to remotely monitor incidents and to locate workers in hazardous locations, for example oil and gas refineries, manufacturing plants, and other areas where dense steel infrastructure can make wireless safety solutions difficult to implement.

The system uses a lapel-based wireless four-gas detector, panic button and a motion sensor.
