Protecting workers in hazardous Red Zones is paramount. Wearable monitoring technology provides the highest level of protection – enabling personal alerts to be delivered instantly to workers at risk of unauthorised zone violations and potential ‘line of fire’ incidents.

3 key takeaways:

  • Instant Safety Notifications: Wearables alert workers immediately upon unauthorized zone breaches, enabling rapid reactions to unauthorised zone violations and ‘line of fire’ incidents before escalations occur
  • Complementary to existing PPE: As with most items of PPE, wearables stay with workers throughout their shift, monitoring their location, alerting them to risks and procedural non-compliances
  • Highest level of protection: Wearables are at their most effective when paired with advanced camera and sensor technologies for Red Zone monitoring
