"REMOTELY CONTROLLED STOP/GO BOARDS SHOULD BE USED WHERE POSSIBLE." – Red Book.
So why is it so common to use more staff that needed and put those staff in a high risk position at work?
There are alternatives that improve safety, reduce labour costs and save carbon emissions.
INSTABOOM GO is the UK first, one man deployment, solar powered stop:go machine.
What does this mean?
It is now possible to run a stop:go closure, with a crew of one. And that person is working from the safety of the side of the road or their cab.
22kg per unit, compact trolley case. 4 units can fir in the boot of a car.
Solar powered, never charge again if they are used in the sun twice a minute on 8 hour shifts.
And without the sun, they only need a charge once every 8 days.
Run up to 4 units, fully connected so that you cannot have 2 GO's
Rugged remote control, operate a stop:go closure up to 200m long.
Collapsible Red Book sign kits, all 13 signs in 3 'tent' bags. Everything required to run stop go can now fir in 1 small vehicle with low carbon foot of attendance.
