Crew Safety Features

Safer Working Programme

Introducing the Safer Working Programme, a revolutionary service designed to empower local authorities to achieve unparalleled safety standards in waste and recycling collections through comprehensive audits.

This comprehensive programme provides the tools and insights you need to:

Minimise accidents and near-misses through continuous monitoring and best practice implementation.

Demonstrate robust safety practices with guaranteed audits and performance reporting.

Cultivate a culture of safety through positive reinforcement and ongoing support.

The Safer Working Programme is your key to a safer waste collection.

Safer Working for Everyone

Knowing your crews are following best practice is essential to keeping them safe. However, traditional in-person inspections are labour-intensive and unlikely to show the real situation. This is where our Safer Working Programme can help you make lasting, positive change to how your crews operate.

Bartec’s Safer Working Programme is designed to revolutionise your waste collection operations. By leveraging advanced technology and industry expertise, we provide a comprehensive solution to enhance safety and efficiency.

Our programme offers a range of benefits, including:

Prioritise Safety and Elevate Your Waste Operations

The programme is delivered in four phases – starting with an assessment of your current practice and compliance. This is followed by a rapid phase of action and improvement aimed at delivering real benefits in a matter of weeks. In the monitoring phase our safety professionals remotely monitor each of your crews as they work, using onboard video and telematics to efficiently audit crew behaviour. You will receive ongoing support from our team throughout each phase.

Each audit creates a permanent record of good practice and areas for improvement, with regular progress reviews provided every three months.

This risk-based system identifies the strengths and weaknesses in your working practices, aligning day-to-day behaviour with your policies and continually seeking industry best practice. The result is improved compliance, reduced lost-time incidents and a safer working environment for everyone.

Enhanced Crew Safety

Your waste collection crews work in demanding conditions, often facing hazardous situations and tight deadlines. This can lead to risky behaviours and increased accident rates.

Our Safer Working Programme helps you:

Identify Hidden Risks: Uncover potential hazards that may go unnoticed.

Promote Safe Practices: Encourage safe work habits and discourage shortcuts.

Improve Safety Culture: Foster a positive safety mindset within your workforce.

Reduce Accidents and Injuries: Minimise the risk of workplace accidents and injuries.

Safer Working Audits don’t just highlight bad practice. They reinforce good practice, inform future decisions and spark conversations which continually improve safety. By investing in your crew’s safety, you’re not only fulfilling your legal obligations but also demonstrating your commitment to their well-being.

Upgrade Your Fleet Safety with Bartec

Safer Working Audits are available for cameras from Contel, FleetClear, Vision Techniques, VisionTrack and Brigade, with other equipment being added frequently.

Don’t have over-the-air video equipment? No problem.

Our Safer Working Programme can still help you improve safety, even with traditional harddrive recording systems. We can start with an initial assessment and action plan, and then seamlessly transition to full remote monitoring once you’re ready to invest in over-the-air technology.

Our team will work with you to agree the content of the audits and ensure they match your policies. We will also suggest policy changes to align with industry best practice and legislation.

Our Safer Working Programme team will provide ongoing support throughout the entire programme.
