OUR CUSTOMERS
Trip and fall incidents are a leading cause of workplace injuries. These injuries can lead to legal liabilities for employers.
By implementing spacebands wearables, employers can demonstrate their commitment to maintaining a safe working environment. This proactive approach helps reduce the risk of accidents, mitigates liability, and protects the well-being of employees.
Workplace accidents, including trips and falls, can result in absenteeism, reduced productivity, and increased downtime.
Falls are the most common type of workplace accident and can result in serious injuries or fatalities.
When a spacebands device wearer suffers a trip or fall, an alarm is automatically triggered.
The incident is logged and saved to the analytics dashboard for future analysis to aid in prevention of trips and falls in the workplace.
Near misses are also captured and logged on the dashboard, allowing key insights to identify where training and further learning is needed.
In order to use spacebands’ trips/falls feature you will need the equipment below:
Wearable devices detect when a trip or fall has occurred and send out an alert to nearby wearables.
Instances of trips and falls are saved and uploaded to the analytics dashboard when the device is charged in the charging station.
Length of time in seconds alert runs
Vibrate/Light/Beep
The construction industry has one of the highest rates of fatal falls, with falls from roofs, ladders, and scaffolds being the most common causes.
In the US, falls are the leading cause of fatalities in the construction industry, accounting for 33% of all construction fatalities in 2019, according to OSHA.
According to a study by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, falls from a height of less than two meters account for the majority of fall accidents in the EU, with the construction sector having the highest rate of fatal falls.
spacebands are helping Health & Safety managers around the world reduce accidents, injuries and legal claims
spacebands were a game-changer for us. We can now monitor HAVS and loud noise easily on workers moving between different areas on site. Now I feel confident we have the best tools to keep our team safe.
We started off with spacebands on one site, and we've just rolled them out on another 3 sites. We don't just use them for NIHL, but also for HAVS, machine collisions and PPE reminders.
We find them really useful to get an overview on different hazards and the team actually use them, which makes my life easier!
One of the potential hurdles for us was our trade union, who quite rightly, want to protect the privacy of our workers. spacebands work anonymously, you could assign a wearable to a specific worker, but we use it holisticallly to measure exposure levels in a more general sense.
We got spacebands thinking it would be the devices keeping people safe, but we weren't expecting the level of detail in the analytics platform and the suggestions it provides to improve safety. It's allowed us to see areas in need of improvement.
Investing in spacebands is a great way to prove to your workforce that you genuinely care about their safety and well-being at work.
Our system keeps employees safe, as well as saving HSE managers significant time spent on admin, freeing up time to focus on keeping your team safe.

Falls are the most common type of workplace accident and can result in serious injuries or fatalities. Trips, falls, and near misses are logged on spacebands devices and saved to the analytics dashboard for future analysis.
Industries that make use of spacebands trips and falls feature include manufacturing, construction and logistics. Construction sites can be hazardous environments, with potential trip/fall hazards such as uneven terrain, debris, and equipment. Manufacturing and logistics environments can have a range of trip/fall hazards, such as slippery floors, loose cables, and uneven surfaces.
By deploying spacebands trips and falls feature, you are taking a proactive approach to accident avoidance, rather than a reactive approach once an accident has occurred.
Falls and near misses of spacebands wearers are saved to the analytics dashboard, allowing employers to identify administrative or operational procedures that could be improved.
Moreover, if a device is alerting for a trip/fall at a particular point in the workplace, other employees will become aware of this hazard.
