SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATED TRAINING, CERTIFICATION AND RECORDATION FOR CLIMBER/TOWER SAFETY AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE AT COMMUNICATIONS SITES

摘要

A computer based system for monitoring compliance of climber/tower safety procedures and personnel at communication towers. The system includes an updatable database of the wireless transmission towers and their unique safety information. The system can monitor and automatically generate reports of tower climber safety training and certification. Workers may be sorted by their employers, training status or other safety information including regulatory compliance. Communication towers may be sorted by structure type, safety status, type of work performed and who performed the work. The custom signs with the machine readable indicia can be used to enhance access to an automated climber/tower safety system.

主权项

1. A computerized safety system for managing safety training certification for tower climbing safety at radio transmission towers, comprising:
a database server storing
transmitter information for radio frequency (RF) transmitters located at transmission towers obtained from a plurality of wireless telecommunication companies and indexed by tower, andrecords of users and their tower climbing training certification status; and an application server comprising
a processor, anda memory storing instructions for execution by the processor, the instructions comprising:
a site search module configured to define search parameters, accept search criteria selected by a user, transmit a search request based upon selected search criteria, and provide search results to the user,a certification module configured to
identify users in the database based upon their tower climbing training certification status,provide a Site Specific Climber Tower (C/T) Safety Summary Sheet pertaining to a transmission tower to only users having a predetermined tower climbing training certification status, andcreate a record in the database that the Site Specific C/T Safety Summary Sheet pertaining to the transmission tower was provided to the user.
