Proximity Detection for Anything that Moves
Low Frequency Marker Zones for High Stability
• Metallic objects within the field have little effect on zone size and shape
• Does not multi-path as occurs with higher frequencies
• Reliable, helps eliminate nuisance alarms
Easy Installation
• Different Mounting options, including magnetic
• Can be mounted in a number of locations depending on vehicle/machine type
• Easily wires into existing vehicle wiring harness
• Warning zones can be adjusted within limits of Proximity Module
• Input voltage from the battery (VDC) can be 12 or 24 volts where 24 volts gives an increase in Maximum Warning Zone Size.
No Nuisance Alarms
• Multiple Personnel and machines can operate in close proximity without conflicting signals or false alarms
• Some systems feature fields that can expand or contract with speed of vehicle, further reducing nuisance alarms and providing greater warning in the direction of movement
• Workers are warned only when their safety is jeopardized
• Vehicle operators are warned when an “on-foot” worker’s safety is jeopardized
Proximity Modules
• Compact, weather tight housing
• Multiple mounting options
• They respond to Forward, Reverse, and/or Speed Signals to auto adjust Zone sizes.
• Proximity Module requires no further calibration after initial installation
• Modules are slaved to a central controller (Multi-Gen Systems)
• Some systems feature Tracking, Memory, and Bluetooth
PADs - Personal Alarm Device
• Compact size
• Audio and visual alarms given when a danger zone is breached
• 2 Sounder models available with differing battery life between charges;
500mAh / 1400 mAh
• PADs require no calibration during installation or operation
Silent Zones
• Silent Zones are added for vehicle or machine operator to function without alarms
• Once out of silent zones, operators are protected just as other “on-foot” workers
• Silent Zones give added efficiency without giving up warning detection to operators and other workers.
If you have industrial equipment that moves, chances are there is a HazardAvert Proximity Detection System designed to improve the safety awareness of your employees. HazardAvert® utilizes a stable magnetic marker field and architecture proven in our underground mining systems. We have now developed this technology for use on vehicles such as dump trucks, road graders, bulldozers, and even cranes. It can also be used on other non-moving machinery that poses a threat to workers. Plus, different vehicles can be outfitted to work together with one another and the “on-foot” worker.
There is no limit to the number of workers that can be protected, and operators of the equipment function inside a Silent Zone to eliminate self generated nuisance alarms. Once they leave the Silent Zone however, they are protected just as other on-foot workers. With the Vehicle Alarm Device (VAD - Optional on some models), the different types of HazardAvert equipped machinery operating in an area can detect and warn each other of possible collisions. Not only does HazardAvert® alert operators to protect against injuries to workers from possible contact, but it can potentially reduce costly vehicle to vehicle collisions.
Three types of surface systems are available, Single and Dual Integral Modules, and Multi-Gen systems. The Single Integral Module is similar to the Forklift System in that it utilizes a single Proximity Module to cover the entire vehicle. Zone sizes are adjustable but the magnetic marker field is a single oval shape. The Dual Integral Module System is used for larger vehicles where one module doesn’t provide sufficient coverage.
With Multi-Gen systems, you can create shaped fields which allow larger marker fields where needed, and smaller fields in places that could create nuisance alarms. This is perfect if you have workers that have to be near the machine in order to operate it for instance.
HazardAlert® Systems are also tough, reliable and easy to operate, promoting their use among workers.
If you have equipment that moves, HazardAvert® addresses the dangers involved to promote safety awareness, and to integrate seamlessly into your current safety strategies.
According to Niosh (National Institiution of Occupational Health) “construction workers experienced 135,350 injuries and illnesses in 2007 and had an incident rate of 190 per 100,000 workers. Within construction, contact with objects and equipment resulted in 35 percent of the injuries and illnesses.”
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that while falls make up the majority of the construction site accidents, contact with equipment was also a significant cause of injury for workers.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics also reports that for 2003 in Construction alone, contact with equipment caused 54,230 injuries .
With a silent zone, if you are operating a vehicle, your Personal Alarm Device receives no warnings, but once you get out you are treated just as any other “on-foot” worker and receive warnings should you enter a danger zone.
Vehicles of all types can be outfitted with HazardAvert and work efficiently together.

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.
