How might we better

Can we provide field staff attending an incident real information (drawings, plans, safety information etc) that will aid them in making decisions whilst also giving the command centre a view of what’s happening on the ground live in real time?

Problem Story

The infrastructure and operations of the Water Corp cover thousands of different sites built over the last 100+ years each with their almost unique set of dangers.

This can cause a lot of anxiety because we’re not 100% confident about what hazards might be present when staff turn up and frustration because we’ve visited some of these places thousands of times.

But still people are largely unaware of where to take extra care or when to complete a manual risk assessment which can lead to incidents.
