Each year in industrial environments there are a large numbers of fatalities involving vehicles that contact workers; including dump trucks, fork lifts, graders, rollers, dozers, pavers, and other equipment. And there are even larger numbers of serious injuries.

HazardAvert® Proximity Detection Systems were developed to address collision events between the machine and on-foot workers, as well as vehicle to vehicle accidents. Utilizing a 360° Low Frequency Dynamic Marker Field, HazardAvert® functions with essentially no nuisance alarms, and allows for multiple personnel and machinery to operate together in close proximity.

A Personal Alarm Device (PAD) gives an audio and visual alarm to alert only the worker that is in danger of an approaching vehicle; first when they enter a warning zone with short beeps and a flashing LED, then with a solid tone and LED when a danger zone is breached. Workers not in immediate threat of an approaching vehicle are free from alarms.

Vehicle operators also receive warnings about potential collisions with workers, however operators function within a silent zone inside the vehicle and create no warnings of their own while inside. Once outside, they are protected just as other “on-foot” workers.

Some systems feature a Vehicle Alarm Device (VAD) to provide warning and danger alerts to operators of those vehicles should another VAD equipped vehicle enter one of their zones, reducing the threat of possible collisions.

Four types of HazardAvert® systems are available for Surface Machinery; Single and Dual Integral Modules, Multi-Gen Systems, and one specifically for Forklifts. While they operate similarly, and feature an easy to mount Proximity Module and compact, efficient PADs worn by workers, there are differences that allow configuration to numerous industrial machine types.

Integral Modules operate as independent units, and warn pedestrians and vehicle operators. Two Integral Modules can be combined on larger vehicles, each operating individually to provide total machine coverage.

Multi-Generator Systems utilize multiple Proximity Modules and a controller to allow electronically shaped zones, tracking and recording personnel and machines, plus the ability to shape warning and danger zones for specific equipment.

Unlike other units available, HazardAvert’s Proximity Module does not need to be calibrated unless warning zone sizes differing from that of the factory presets are preferred. PADs never need calibration, and once charged, are ready for operation.

Proximity Detection for Anything that Moves

According to OSHA, forklifts strike pedestrians everyday, resulting in 100 deaths annually, or one death every 3 days. Serious injuries number over 90,000.

During the 1995 to 2002 period, 844 workers were killed while working at a road construction site. More than half of these fatalities were attributable to a worker being struck by a vehicle or mobile equipment.

Different types of vehicles can be outfitted and can work together

Bulldozers, road graders, dump trucks, forklifts, cranes, and more - we have you covered!

HazardAvert Systems can install on many types of vehicles and equipment

HazardAvert can be outfitted to just about any industrial vehicle

Multiple systems are available for fitment to multiple shapes and sizes

There is no limit to the number of workers that can be outfitted with A HazardAvert Proximity Detection System Personal Alarm Device

Multiple machines can also operate in the same area

Workers and operators are alerted both with both audio and visual warnings

Warning: These Systems help to train personnel to stay safe, and provide warning, but cannot guarantee

that all accidents will be prevented. Personnel must always follow federal, state and company

procedures in order to stay safe.
