Safe

Using PORTABOOM® provides a superior safety offering for workers, motorists & the public than current methods. With PORTABOOM®, risk is not just minimised, it's removed! 

PORTABOOM® enhances safety by:

• Eliminating the risk of traffic controllers standing in the direct line of traffic, thereby eliminating the risk of vehicle collisions with traffic controllers. 
  
• Providing a physical, highly visible barrier that protects the work zone ensuring motorists STOP.  
• Reduces fatigue, unlike traditional Stop/Slow traffic control methods. 
  
• Allowing traffic controllers to take more breaks as one traffic controller can operate up to four PORTBOOM® devices. 
• Reducing the risk of heat exhaustion, dehydration and sunburn as traffic controllers can operate PORTABOOM® from shaded safe zones during warmer weather. 
• Allowing greater onsite mobility. Rather than being confined to one spot, traffic controllers can assist pedestrians, workers and residents meanwhile the PORTABOOM® device provides a safe physical barrier. As traffic controllers are more mobile they can walk beside the line of traffic and communicate with drivers and reduce driver frustration, hostility and abuse. 
• Reducing stress levels on traffic controllers by reducing the threat and intimidation from aggressive motorists. 
• Providing wireless remote control operation allowing traffic controllers to perform more regular site audits, checking cones and signage therefore ensuring clear instructions for motorists. 
• Significantly reducing the risk of motorists ignoring traffic controllers or temporary traffic light signals 
• More effectively implementing worksite lockdowns. For safety reasons or to facilitate changes to site operations, worksites may need to be locked down. The use of PORTABOOM® means that the site supervisor only needs to communicate with one traffic controller to implement the lockdown.
