Fall Of Ground Early Warning Systems
The
FOGLight
and
FOGStick
early warning devices detect
and warn mining crews of
potentially unsafe conditions,
helping to provide a safer
working environment
underground.
The
FOGLight
is installed in a
hole drilled into the rock above
an excavation. Once activated
the unit ashes green until
movement occurs to trigger the
ashing amber warning light.
The
FOGStick
is installed
between the oor and roof
of an excavation to monitor
closure in a working place.
The
FOGStick
activates
upon installation and can
be removed at the end of
each shift and stored safely
until the next day. Highly
visible green LEDs ash
to con rm that closure is
within acceptable limits
and these switch to
ashing red LEDs if
excessive closure occurs.
