DGUV Information 214-038 sets new standards for protection against thunderstorms.
These requirements particularly affect outdoor workplaces, such as airports, industrial plants or construction sites, and ensure that the highest safety requirements are met.
Modern thunderstorm warning systems offer the ideal technical solution to efficiently implement these new requirements.
Technology for the implementation of DGUV Information 214-038
Precise lightning location in real time: The systems use a global network to record the exact parameters of lightning events, including position, intensity and polarity. This data is incorporated into further warning and documentation processes.
Three-stage warning system according to DIN IEC 62793: The requirements of the DGUV Information are reflected in a clear warning logic:
Advance warning (15 km): Early warning via yellow LED and mobile notifications.
Alarm (10 km): Immediate alarm via red LED and acoustic signals, combined with the termination of critical activities.
All clear: Automatic return to normal operation after 20 minutes without lightning activity.
Automated information management: The systems use various communication channels, including apps, LED displays and sirens, to immediately inform relevant people. This automation reduces response times and significantly improves safety.
Court-proof documentation: All events and system reactions are logged down to the second, including lightning detection, warnings and all-clear signals. This supports the verification process and meets the requirements of DGUV Information 214-038 and risk assessments.
Why this innovation is important:
DGUV Information 214-038 provides clarity about the state of the art and makes it clear how important precise thunderstorm warning systems are for protecting employees and company facilities. Companies that use these systems not only meet legal requirements, but also increase their operational efficiency and safety.
Application areas:
Airports: Safe apron operations through reliable warning and all-clear mechanisms.
Industry: Protection during refueling, storage and work with hazardous substances.
Construction sites: Minimizing risks to personnel and equipment when working outdoors.
By integrating modern thunderstorm warning systems, you meet the requirements of DGUV Information 214-038 and ensure that operations are carried out using the latest technology.
