We are FCC Nº22

■ To determine by means of a rapid mechanism whether existing materials on a construction site contain asbestos, carrying out the characterisa- tion without risk to the health of workers. This procedure includes remote checks and an alert system. ■ Estimation and mapping of the risk of inhalation of respirable crystalline silica, allowing greater effectiveness in reducing the risk by having a map of affected areas, which is updated in real time. FCC Construcción’s role as promoter of the project is to establish the starting point, in relation to the analysis of occupational risks in these two carcino- genic agents, and the definition of the requirements and technical specifications in line with the objecti - ves to be achieved. FCC will participate in the de- sign of the software application and will carry out the operation and validation test at its work centres. Key project innovations The general objective of the PRACAN project is to improve occupational risk prevention activities in construction environments by developing an inno- vative active robotic platform for the identification, control and monitoring of carcinogenic agent risks. This platform will be based on a set of mobile nodes, one terrestrial and one aerial, with the capacity to identify/es- timate carcinogenic agents, specifica - lly asbestos and respirable crystalline silica (RCS), and a system that allows alerts and recommendations to be es- tablished, supporting the decision-ma- king process of ORP technicians in situations of risk of the carcinogenic agents considered. In the workplace, preventing the development of cancer at the source is essential, taking into account the existence of agents considered carcinogenic in many industrial processes Digital prototype of the operation of the new PRACAN platform.
