2023: Introduction of the Automatic Breathal Testing System

On December 14, 2023, K2 Tekh introduced automatic breathalyzing systems and a terminal for remote inspection of employee health. Solutions help halve the percentage of industrial injuries and reduce the economic costs of the business.

The vast majority of accidents at work are related to the human factor. Therefore, industrial enterprises are constantly looking for new ways to reduce the number of emergencies. Using the experience gained over 12 years in the digitalization of business processes, including in the field of security, we at K2Tekh are developing modern systems for monitoring the condition of employees, including automatic breathalyzing and terminals for remote medical examination, "said Valery Sokolenko, head of the Hardware Solutions department at K2Tekh.

Usually, the condition of workers is checked by the security service at the checkpoint. This creates queues at the checkpoint, reduces the quality of testing and incurs additional costs for the company. Therefore, K2Tex has developed an automatic breathalyzing complex. The system is able to conduct an examination, save data in a digital storage and notify a regular physician and an occupational safety specialist about the results of the audit. The whole procedure takes no more than 1.5 seconds, which avoids crowds of people at the entrance.

The managed storage system of work tools also helps to monitor the condition of employees. To get them from the cell and go to the shift, the employee must pass the breathalyzer check. The solution from K2Tex is also able to identify a person and record the entire testing process on the built-in video camera. This practice halves the number of accidents and not only significantly reduces costs, but also brings additional profits.

30 mln rubles per year - economic effect of introduction of breathalysation to one of our customers , chemical holding, due to saving time for inspection and prevention of industrial accidents. In addition, the program monthly identifies more than 50 cases of alcohol consumption by employees of contractors with an average fine for a legal entity of 50 thousand rubles per case, - explained Valery Sokolenko.

Another way to reduce industrial injuries is to use the terminal for remote inspections. The complexes are used in the fields of logistics, mining, construction. Drivers and employees of the enterprise are required to be tested on it before a flight or shift. The terminal consists of medical measuring instruments that include a tonometer, thermometer and breathalyzer. On request, other medical devices can be connected to it. The results of online examinations are received by a health worker through a control computer. The physical presence of a doctor at a medical examination is not required, and video recording is built in to reduce the risk of falsification. K2Tekh has experience in introducing terminals into the infrastructure of a logistics company, where they allowed to reduce the cost of examining drivers by half and reduce the time for its implementation.
