Waste management company Biffa is equipping 80 of its vehicles with live camera systems, from Innovative Safety Systems (ISS).
The technology will be fitted to a mix of refuse collection vehicles, caged tippers and sweepers in operation on two new contracts; 60 vehicles in East Sussex will be equipped with the technology at the end of this month, with 20 in Waverley from 1 November.
The RXLite live camera uses wide-angle HD 720p cameras and an HD in-cab monitor for maximum image clarity.
As well as product quality, Biffa chose ISS for its aftersales service, which includes a dedicated installation crew and installation app.
“ISS have been very supportive and professional in their approach, and they have the necessary infrastructure to assist us with the mobilisation of the vehicles,” says David Maidman, business director at Biffa.
He adds: “The health and safety of our workforce, and the proper management of our vehicles, is of the utmost importance to us. The workplace is becoming increasingly challenging with more traffic and greater demands on drivers and collection crews. Installing these live cameras will provide additional reassurance and security for our staff, and the public.”
