New Solutions at Work: Lighting Monitoring

What is it? Solutions-at-Work or “SAW” are individual ideas where a Member of the Mutual looked at an existing hazard and, through their employee’s years of experience, knowledge, or creativity, developed a Solution to the problem that eliminated or reduced the hazard to employees and the chance of injury.

This Solution-at-Work establishes a structured, data-driven lightning monitoring and response system for marine and outdoor construction operations. By implementing advanced detection networks, predictive forecasting tools, and a clearly defined two-phase alert protocol, the system ensures proactive storm preparation and immediate shutdown when lightning threatens the site. This approach significantly reduces exposure to lightning-related injuries while maintaining organized, controlled work stoppages.
