SAFETY AND BLASTING ON A CONSTRUCTION SITE

SOLUTIONS

Introducing OPA Safety Module: OPAMONOX

​

In the spirit of integrity and transparency, OPA Technologies is proud to present  the Opamonox Module which it contributes to the safety of workers and residents during blasting work. 

 

Every year, hundreds of thousands of building and infrastructure construction sites require blasting, which requires the use of preventative safety measures over a 100-metre perimeter. OPA adopts Canadian provinces, US states and cities regulations on safety and blasting. In a densely urban area, this safety perimeter may involve the risk of carbon monoxide exposure for people working or living nearby. Carbon monoxide fumes can last up to 14 days after the blasting is complete.

 

Preventionists and contractors: Through the Opamonox Module, you can extract the list of addresses affected by the blasting project, optimize submissions, coordinate field work and communicate with fire departments and stakeholders.​

 

Individuals responsible for issuing work permits: With the Opamonox Module, you can validate procedures, inform city fire departments, maintain traceability and complete the accountability report.

 

The Opamonox Module provides knowledge of best practices through its Standards and Procedures. 

 

Traffic obstructions can also affect the work of police and emergency services. When there is an emergency, they need to know where obstructions are so they can get to their destination as quickly and efficiently as possible. That is why OPA gives police services real time information on traffic obstructions.
