Proximity warning solutions at HSM Live Scotland

Working across industrial sectors, ZoneSafe strives to help companies create safer working environments by assisting them in reducing the risk of accidents between workers and mobile plant. From waste and recycling to manufacturing, ports and marinas to warehousing, ZoneSafe’s Proximity Warning Systems offer trusted, class-leading technology.

Adverse outcomes because of an accident involving workers with mobile plant must be avoided. Companies choose ZoneSafe to help control these risks, protect their business and staff, enhance risk awareness, change behaviour, improve staff confidence, and increase efficiency and productivity.

Whether you operate a single piece of mobile plant or operate a large fleet across multiple sites, ZoneSafe’s range of solutions enables companies to implement a stand-alone or integrated site-wide proximity warning system.

ZoneSafe’s most popular and widely adopted solution is its 360-degree pedestrian worker detection system, which warns mobile plant operators through audible and visual means when a worker wearing a proximity tag is near the vehicle and in potential danger. Retrospective installation is straightforward for most types of mobile plant. Thanks to the product's modular design, it is especially suited to work sites operating mixed mobile plant fleets, such as those found within the waste and recycling sector. 

An advantage of using a tag-based proximity warning system is its ability to integrate with access control measures like locks on doors, gates, and turnstiles to control access to vehicle operating workspaces. This further reduces risk by limiting access to specific personnel. 

For some worksites, it may not be practical to issue proximity tags, especially when third parties or members of the public have access. To address this risk, ZoneSafe offers a solution that automatically activates various visual warnings, such as flashing signs or projected warning images, when mobile plant operates in a specific area or when approaching a blind corner, doorway, or exit. Sensors fitted to the vehicle communicate with a visual warning unit and activate it, which increases pedestrians' awareness of the risk when mobile plant is operating. 

ZoneSafe will be exhibiting at the HSM Live Scotland Conference and Exhibition in Edinburgh on 27 November and will welcome you to a demonstration of its solutions and to discuss any opportunities to help reduce risk when operating mobile plant on your worksite.
