Restrata begins rollout of covid-safe technology for offshore industry

 

British Technology Company Restrata has today announced that its renowned COVID-Safe Platform is available for use by companies in the offshore energy industry. This follows the announcement of the ATEX approved BLE wearable tag - used in conjunction with the Restrata Platform + COVID-Safe Solution - for use in offshore environments.

The Restrata Platform has been widely used by the international sport, business and onshore energy industries, particularly as companies have sought a solution to minimise the damage and risks caused by the Covid-19 global pandemic over the past year. The Platform - used for the England v West Indies test match cricket series last summer, the relocated IPL 2020 in the UAE and by businesses in onshore environments including Shell, Bilfinger and Genel Energy - offers multiple benefits to companies operating in critical services, including: social distancing; instant contact tracing; access restrictions; communications; symptom screening; and creating capacity limits.

With the ATEX-approved BLE wearable tag for offshore use, the Restrata Platform + COVID-Safe Solution offers energy companies across offshore sites the opportunity to safeguard the health and wellbeing of their workers (minimising Covid-19 infections and, ultimately, deaths), and to reduce the cost of managing operations during the global pandemic, by removing burdensome logistical costs as well as the operational knock-on costs that arise from workers contracting Covid-19. Use of the tag also carries a positive impact for onshore energy sites, who require ATEX-approval, too.

This development will benefit the companies across the offshore and onshore energy industry by providing social distancing data across sites. This, in turn will help improve compliance, with contact tracing essentially allowing clients to track the historic footprint of the virus across their asset.

“With the rollout of our cutting-edge Restrata Platform across sport, business and onshore critical industries, and following the provision of ATEX-approved tags, we are thrilled to now be able to bring our tried and tested technology to the offshore energy sector; a sector which has, naturally, been badly affected by the global pandemic,” said Botan Osman, CEO of Restrata.

“Whereas before [our Platform], offshore oil and gas companies encounter their workers contracting Covid on offshore sites, leaving them having to isolate, be transported away by a costly helicopter trip and leaving the companies to deploy a guess-based track and trace process, now, with our Platform, companies will be able to alleviate these burdensome, time-consuming and operationally-stifling procedures by utilising our technology which removes the guesswork and allows a business to continue operations efficiently and save significant costs.

“Whether it be accurately tracking and tracing workers across zones on a site, creating a safe zone, capacity limit or a biosecure bubble, providing historic contact tracing data or managing the safety of individuals through mustering or occupancy information, our Platform provides a holistic approach to putting the safety of workers first – allowing businesses to get on, and concentrate on their operations, without the concerns caused by Covid incidents.”

By investing in Restrata’s cutting-edge technology, companies right across the critical and non-critical industries are not only able to better manage COVID-19 today, but will also be in a stronger position to successfully digitise safety throughout their operations.
