According to the Health & Safety Executive, 180 waste operatives are injured each year. Sadder still is that there are also 3 fatalities. The vast majority of these accidents are machinery-related, with waste trucks being the biggest culprits.
In September of this year, MOBA and Fastview360 launched BinStop; a unique and innovative system that provides an additional level of assistance to waste collection vehicles that will prevent bin lift accidents.
The system can easily be fitted to any waste collection vehicle and employs existing technology. Fastview360’s cameras are fitted to the rear of the vehicle and utilises its AI-Progressive Safe System to constantly monitor for humans close to the bin lift operational area. If there is human presence within this ‘unsafe’ zone, then MOBA’s machine control technology automatically takes command of the lifter mechanism, preventing it from operating until the human exits the zone.
We were responsible for creating the BinStop branding, PR campaign, promotional films, supporting collateral and stand design, for the events at which this new technology was launched.
