Deciding work and inspections by site-specific rainfall thresholds
Summary
Check rainfall measured close to the site instead of a nearby station’s average, and connect it to your criteria for work stoppage, drainage and facility inspection.

The problem
When the rain felt on site differs from the value at a nearby station, there is little basis for deciding on work stoppage or drainage measures.
An organization managing multiple sites and facilities finds it hard to see each site’s different rainfall situation in one place.
Users
- Site safety manager
Decides on stopping/resuming work and drainage measures.
- Facility manager
Directs flood-preparedness inspections for underground spaces and equipment.
- Head-office safety department
Sees rainfall status and action history across multiple sites.
Workflow
- 01
Set site thresholds
Cumulative and hourly rainfall thresholds are set to match the work type and ground conditions.
- 02
Observe & alert
Staged alerts go to managers before and after thresholds are reached.
- 03
Record actions
A record of work stoppage, inspection and drainage actions is kept alongside the observation record.
Expected benefits (qualitative)
- Work decisions based on rainfall actually measured on site
- Rainfall status integrated across multiple sites
- Action history linked with observation records
