Building safer, more efficient places to work

Our industry leading, innovative SensorZone products provide effective measures to keep people safe, protect investment in vehicles and equipment and drive productivity.

We focus on empowering customers with information that can be used to track and report on safety and efficiency at work, delivering data that provides actionable insights and can be used to support a positive safety culture.

Tackling a worldwide issue

The one thing that underlines everything we do is keeping people safe at work. SensorZone aims to tackle one of the biggest causes of injury and fatalities in the workplace – collisions between people and machines.

The United States health and safety regulator, OSHA, have labelled ‘being struck by’ a machine as one of their Fatal Four causes of workplace injury. These four causes account for over 50% of workplace fatalities across the US every year (Environment, Health and Safety Advisor, 2019).

Why SensorZone Exists

Every year, hundreds of workers are killed or seriously injured in vehicle-pedestrian collisions at workplaces around the world. Many of these incidents occur in industries that have long accepted transport risk as unavoidable. We do not accept that. SensorZone exists to eliminate preventable workplace transport fatalities. We design proximity warning systems that are reliable enough to work in the harshest conditions, simple enough to install and maintain without specialist skills, and intelligent enough to provide data that drives continuous safety improvement.

Our Values

Trusted

We build relationships on transparency, reliability, and results. Our systems are trusted by some of the largest operators in waste management, construction, and mining because we deliver what we promise.
