Hello Thiru,

People tracking needs in Oil&Gas vary from site to site depending on the biggest pain. In most sites the staff safety is the biggest pain point which relates to points #1 and #2 in your query.

1. The mustering application means automatic counting of people in mustering area. This is to be able to understand any possible loss os personnel in emergency situations.

2. People tracking can mean several things. For safety purposes the location of personnel can be tracked in order to be able to know that personnel is not entering unsafe areas. Also visitors of the site can be remotely monitored to ensure that they are in safe areas only and can be rescued if they get lost. Additionally people tracking can be utilized for improving the workflow by tracking the staff location. For example work orders can be dispatched to closest personnel.

3. Time and attendance application is for automating time keeping processes by tracking the location of personnel and counting the hours that they are present within workareas.

I hope this was of help to you. Please contact me in case you have further questions.

Regards, Arttu Huhtiniemi

Oil contains a mixture of heavy metals like mercury, arsenic and lead and various hydrocarbons that can cause skin and breathing irritation, as well as cancer. Breathing in oil vapors or sea spray from dispersed oil in wind-blown waves can cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and eye and throat irritation. Direct skin contact can cause various kinds of rashes, including generalized skin irritation, or something known as "folliculitis" from oil-clogged skin pores.

As the oil hits our coasts, it is important to recognize that oil is a hazardous material and that we need to protect ourselves against potential health impacts from coming into contact with this substance.

* Avoid areas where oil can be seen or smelled. If you see or smell oil, leave the affected area. Oiled areas should be particularly be avoided by:

o » Young children.
o » People with asthma or other respiratory diseases such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
o » People with a compromised immune system.
o » People with a hypersensitivity to chemicals, particularly hydrocarbons.
o » Pregnant women (some of the chemicals in oil have been linked to miscarriage, preterm birth, and low birth rate).
* Avoid any direct skin contact with oil, oil-contaminated water and sediments.
* If any oil makes contact with your skin, wash it off immediately with a grease-cutting detergent and water.
* Do not fish, swim, or engage in water sports in the oil spill-affected waters. State and federal authorities are monitoring conditions and will advise you where these are. If traveling through the area by boat, use rubber gloves when hoisting the anchor.
* Avoid contact with dead or dying fish and wildlife.
* If you are experiencing health symptoms such as headache, nausea, dizziness, or throat irritation, leave the area immediately. If the symptoms do not resolve within a few minutes, make sure to seek appropriate medical attention.
* If you experience difficulty breathing, shortness of breath or other serious symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.
