Sicur 08: Glacera has created the Aturvite system that allows saving the lives of people who work alone or away from their colle

Sicur 08: In the 21st century accidents at work continue to be a worrying issue for our society. For this reason, the company Glacera S.L. has been fighting against this problem for many years and trying to reduce the number of accidents at work.

It is easily fitted to the worker's clothing and if an accident happens, they only have to pull a tag to start up the emergency plan.

With this end in mind, it has presented Aturvite, an emergency system to protect people at their work places. The Aturvite system is designed to protect people in the work centre, particularly people who work alone at some time during the day, who are in isolated areas or who are performing high risk jobs. It consists of an innovative personal device that the user incorporates to the working clothes as another protection element, in this way ensuring rapid accessibility in the case of an emergency. It is easily attached to the body and does not get in the way whilst working. Its small size and weight make it pass by unnoticed throughout the working day. However, its small size does not prevent it from saving people's lives. In the case of an accident, the worker only has to pull the device's tag and a signal is immediately sent by radio frequency to the central unit. This signal instantly allows the emergency plan designed by the company to be activated and the place where the worker is to be reached in time to be able to give them first aid.

Aturvite features three advantages, since it warns about any incident; the response time is minimum and it anticipates the correct performance of the emergency plan. When a person finds themselves in an emergency situation, many factors come into play that could get in the way of a correct development of the emergency plan. Thanks to this system, the person may concentrate on the human factor whilst the device automates the entire process.

Other additional advantages of this personal device are: its light weight of 21 grams, the fact that it is easily accessible, highly visible and does not get in the way at work. The Aturvite system offers three versions designed to satisfy each client's different requirements covering from the small company to the multi-national, as well as professionals from the surveillance sector. The three versions are: Aturvite Basic, Aturvite Plus and Aturvite Portable. In an adverse situation, Aturvite can save the life of someone, turning a terrible misfortune into just an anecdote.

The workers will never be alone with the Aturvite Basic system. It is a light, functional and reliable warning device designed for work places where safety is vital. Its potential functions are: Warning at any point using sound and light signals, locating the emergency, acting on any electromechanical device, making voice calls and sending SMS messages to one or several telephones and warning the most suitable person wherever he or she is and everything that might help.

Aturvite Plus. The Aturvite Plus device is the natural evolution of the Aturvite product, which aim is to meet industry's own demands and constant technological development. Aturvite Plus is similar to the previous model, but thanks to the incorporation of the latest advances in wireless technology, it offers more and improved benefits, such as: Dead man function, since the device will give the warning although nobody has pulled the tag; the same will happen in the case of a fainting attack; more accuracy in the localisation; user identification; improved presentation and more information with a floor plan using a touch screen that allows the installations and possible incidents to be viewed; completely wireless network; and registration of activity.

Aturvite Portable: In any place and in any situation. A fixed installation is not always feasible; therefore Aturvite has developed the Portable model. It is a portable device designed for professionals who work in an itinerant way, for example, performing maintenance or surveillance tasks. It consists of a briefcase which, in the case of an accident, makes a call to one or several pre-established telephones
