Prioritizing Connected Worker Safety in Remote and Hazardous Environments

As the energy sector continues to grow and expand its operations, prioritizing worker safety has become more crucial than ever. Technological advancements present the sector with new and innovative ways to connect with and support its workforce. While these technologies offer substantial benefits, decision-makers still have a long way to go in terms of successful implementation and integration. 

"The most significant trend is the automation of facilities, reducing the need for human involvement in physical and mechanical interactions as much as possible.    Our primary objective is workforce safety, and digitizing data flows from users to the cloud has enabled us to track worker metrics. This should help reduce incidents and injuries while simultaneously increasing productivity by minimizing product outages. However, this doesn't come without challenges, and we use anonymized data for trend analysis to ensure compliance with data privacy regulations." - Ted Stoves, Chevron

Ahead of the upcoming Connected Worker: Energy Summit, we spoke with event speakers Ted Stoves, Product Owner, Connected Worker Group at Chevron, and Mason Jones, Manufacturing Digital Manager at Chevron Phillips Chemical, about the implementation of connected worker safety technologies within their operations. 

This case study highlights the trends and technologies reshaping the landscape of worker safety in remote, hazardous, high-risk environments. From connected worker solutions, and AI-powered analytics to real-time location services (RTLS) and digitized workflows, Connected Worker technology is not only transforming how safety is managed, but also creating opportunities to help companies improve productivity, upskill their workforce, and ultimately, increase profitability.

"The generation now entering the workforce is accustomed to information being available at their fingertips. In the near term, areas that support data availability and data quality will be the most prevalent. These include access to asset information in the field, electronic Safe Operating Procedures (SOPs), and leveraging AI/ML to interpret and consolidate large amounts of operational data into easily digestible insights. This will help predict future equipment failures, prescribe solutions for upcoming issues, and identify new ways to optimize existing processes so we can operate more sustainably." - Mason Jones, CP Chem
