Frequently Asked Questions

Use data to protect your staff appropriately. Devices stores details about your workplace hazards which can be accessed on the safety dashboard – desktop and mobile.

Do spacebands devices track the location of individual workers?

No, spacebands are built with employee privacy in mind. Our devices do not contain a GPS tracker or WiFi connectivity. We do not care if employees are in the bathroom or on smoking breaks, our devices are built for safety performance improvements exclusively.

What data is collected on the wearable device?

You can view the saved data at any time by downloading the spacebands app. We believe that all employees should have access to the safety data that is being collected to ensure that everyone is aware of the risks within your workplace.

How will implementing spacebands devices save my company money?

spacebands automatically record safety data and provide analytics to help you to make positive improvements to your safety performance and employee well-being practices. We offer hazard detection and prevention that offers a huge time and monetary saving to collecting this data manually. As a health and safety professional, your time should be spent implementing improvements, not uncovering them! In addition, spacebands reduce the risk of potential litigation from accidents and ongoing health issues in the workplace. Moreover, when the unions knock on your door with liability claims for non-compliance you’ll have a full track record that you have been doing all that you can do. By reducing accidents and sickness, less time is lost in production from absenteeism. In implementing spacebands you are also showing your workforce that you care about their safety; which leads to increased productivity.

Can I compare my saved data against industry benchmarks?

Yes. You can compare the saved data in your spacebands dashboard against industry averages. Your data is always protected, no other company will ever know how you are performing. You can also add other departments/sites in your organisation to the dashboard and see how you perform in relation to each other.

How do spacebands devices keep workers safe?

spacebands will constantly detect various hazards around your workspace, helping you to be more aware of your surroundings at work. Our wearable devices will alert workers if they are in imminent danger, before an accident occurs. This data is then saved and sent to the analytics dashboard, where it can be used to develop measures to reduce exposure to these risks.

What makes spacebands better than competitor devices?

Other safety wearables only tackle singular hazards, spacebands will combat multiple hazards at one time and collect vital data on all of these hazards. By analysing data from multiple hazards together you are able to uncover trends that would be hidden on a singular hazard detection device. Our simple system is easy to roll out at scale, and is significantly more affordable than other solutions on the market. Make informed decisions to improve your safety performance with spacebands.

How difficult is it to roll spacebands out to an entire workforce?

spacebands has been designed to be rolled out at enterprise level with ease. We do not send engineers to your location, as we do not need to do so! Devices can be set-up as soon as you have purchased them, before they have even been delivered. Customising features and settings is easy and can be done through the desktop dashboard or the mobile app.

How long is the contract length?

The initial minimum contract length is 12 months, but we offer discounts for 24 or 36 month contracts.

How do spacebands alert users and log data?

spacebands detect hazards like hand-arm vibration (HAV), loud noise, proximity risks, PPE non-compliance, and unauthorized access.

Here's how it works:
HAV & Noise Exposure: The wearable tracks data and uploads it to the dashboard upon charging. Alerts for exposure limits (EAV/ELV) can notify admins via email. Admins control who sees individual exposure data.
Proximity Warnings: Bluetooth signals from machinery beacons (e.g., forklifts) send real-time alerts to prevent collisions. Near-miss events are logged in the analytics dashboard.
PPE & Access Alerts: Real-time notifications remind users to wear PPE or warn them about unauthorized areas. These events are recorded and linked to the triggering beacon and wearable.

This system ensures safety insights are actionable and well-documented.

I don’t need all of the safety features for my business, can I remove some?

spacebands come with a full feature set as part of your package. You can choose whichever features you want to be active from your admin dashboard. We recommend leaving all features turned on as you will already have actionable data if you decide to use the data in the future.

Will the safety features still work in remote locations?

Yes, spacebands run a bluetooth mesh network, rather than relying on an internet connection. When the device was designed we spoke to Health and Safety Managers from some of the biggest companies in the world to ask what their pain points were with safety equipment and one of the main points was functionality. spacebands will work whether you are on an oil rig in the middle of an ocean or deep in a mine. They are not reliant on an internet connection to keep your staff safe, if an internet server goes down with some of our competitor’s devices, they stop working - and if an accident takes place during that time - your company is open to legal action.

Am I being charged for all the features, even though I only need a few?

No, spacebands devices come as a package with full access to all safety and well-being features to ensure your staff are protected both physically and mentally. spacebands are priced at a very low monthly subscription rate, so that even if you only use one feature, you still get great value for money.

Do you plan on adding more safety features in the future?

We are always open to new ideas, if you have a suggestion for a new feature you would like to see then please let us know by completing the feature suggestion form. You can also suggest changes to our current features if you have a specific use case.
