SPACEBANDS SOLUTION
Real-time alerts to keep staff working at height safe
spacebands’ wearables automatically detect when staff are working at height and prompt them to ensure they are wearing safety equipment or following company safety policies.
These alerts keep staff safe while working at height and protect companies from legal action if something should happen to go wrong - providing a recorded paper trail that staff were reminded to follow procedures.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
Testimonials
spacebands are helping Health & Safety managers around the world reduce accidents, injuries and legal claims
Nick S
Senior H&S Manager
spacebands have transformed the way we control exposure to vibration. In just a year of use we have reduced exposure by close to 80%. And our production has become far more engaged in proactive safety.
I’d recommend spacebands to any company that takes safety seriously.
Robert M
Health & Safety Manager
Since introducing spacebands, we’ve seen a huge improvement in how we manage hand–arm vibration exposure.
Our monitoring is now instant and accurate, and we’ve significantly reduced the risk of overexposure. The team is also more aware of safe working limits, which has boosted our overall safety culture.
Chris P
Plant Manager
We had previously used a different HAVs wearable, but they were sitting on a shelf gathering dust because our team didn't have the time for tool tagging.
With spacebands, they just have to be wearing the wearable and it records daily exposure.
David N
Site Manager
spacebands gave us the ability to measure various levels of exposure, various tools and various tasks without having to recalibrate or recalculate; or most importantly having a negative effect on our production.
We looked at a few other options but no others that we saw came with that level of flexibility.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
spacebands are helping Health & Safety managers around the world reduce accidents, injuries and legal claims
At what height does the wearable alert the wearer to wear safety gear?
This can be customised in your admin dashboard but the default height at which alerts are sent is 6ft off the ground.
Does the wearable account for getting to the place where workers are working from height?
Yes, the wearable is able to compensate for trips in elevators or escalators to get to the place where a worker is working from height.
What happens if a worker ignores the safety prompt when working from height?
The wearable provides the employee with awareness and the employer with a paper trail, recording what time the prompt was sent and to which wearable. If you choose to allocate a wearable to a specific individual, then you will be able to tell which individual received which prompt, and at what time.
Can I assign a wearable to individual workers?
Yes, you can assign a wearable to an individual so you know which individual received each prompt and when. Alternatively, if you wanted worker data to remain anonymous, there is no need to assign wearables - just allow workers to use whichever wearable is free.
Can certain workers be made exempt from the working from height warnings?
Yes, you can mute alerts on specific wearables to stop certain job roles from being notified they are working from height.
Does the device send an SOS if a worker suffers a fall while working from height?
Yes, this is a separate spacebands feature known as SOS or person down alert. Using a gyroscope, when it detects a fall, it sends an alert to all nearby wearable devices for assistance.
