The BodyGuard Proximity Warning system has been designed to help protect personnel and save lives by lowering the risk of collision between people, moving vehicles and heavy machinery. The system has wide ranging application for personnel, forklifts, cranes, heavy vehicles and moving machinery. . BodyGuard provides an industrial quality proximity warning solution that helps you to maintain a safer workplace.

The BodyGuard proximity warning system has been designed to help save lives by lowering the risk of collision between moving objects.

BodyGuard works by setting up an invisible shield around the object being protected. Whenever this invisible shield is penetrated by another object (that is also fitted with a BodyGuard unit), an alarm is activated to warn the driver/operator to pay attention.

The BodyGuard proximity warning system provides an effective method of protecting people, vehicles,machinery and property from injury and damage resulting from collision. The system has wide ranging applications that involve personnel, forklifts, cranes, heavy vehicles and moving machinery.

The BodyGuard proximity warning system is user-configurable. The user can set the desired protection zone range around each object as required for the application. The typical range is 5m to 50m. BodyGuard will detect objects in the presence of smoke, fog or dust and is immune to interference by heat, sound and light. The built-in Detection History Log provides an ideal tool for planning your safety policies and procedures. The log includes the date , time (to nearest second), ID and type of object detected and the relative proximity.

NOTE: Objects or Personnel fitted with BodyGuard are not restricted to use at certain locations, they will operate anywhere they come into contact with other objects that are also fitted with BodyGuard. BodyGuard works when moving items between multiple sites of a company or even between different companies.

Multiple sockets can be set into a concrete floor, wall or ceiling to provide a variety of anchor points, and the detent pin can be moved from socket to socket, keeping productivity high. According to Greg Peterson, Systems Manager, Capital Safety, Australia and New Zealand, most concrete construction sites require a number of different anchorage points for personal fall arrest systems. Capital Safety have developed the concrete detent anchor to be used during construction and also for ongoing maintenance and inspection, making it a suitable end-to-end solution.

With the detent pin weighing in at less than 1kg, the concrete detent anchor may be a lightweight and portable anchor option for concrete construction and maintenance. Detent push-button operation makes anchor installation and removal simple. The user holds down the button while inserting the pin into a socket preset in concrete. Releasing the button locks the pin into place, securing the anchorage.

To disconnect the concrete detent anchor, users can simply push the button and the pin will be released from the socket. When a socket is not in use, a cap covers the recess, which ensures building aesthetics are not compromised. Shock absorbing lanyards and self retracting lifelines can be connected to the forged connection ring on the detent pin. For added functionality, two anchors can be used as the endpoints for a horizontal lifeline system.
