OUR CUSTOMERS
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.
By incorporating wearable technology into safety programs, companies can significantly improve worker safety and reduce the risk of workplace injuries.
Signage and safety talks are easy to ignore, spacebands’ wearables directly alert staff when they detect staff working at height.
The height at which a worker is alerted is customizable by admins.
Data is collected by the wearables and saved to the analytics dashboard, which can be analysed to improve safety protocols and training.
In order for the working from height feature to function, you will require the following technology:
Wearable devices alert users when they go above the 'Alert Height' set on the admin dashboard.
The wearable will record when a worker is working at height, and send the data to the dashboard.
Between 1m - 3m, 3m - 5m, 5m+

According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), falls from height were the most common cause of fatal accidents to workers in 2022/23, accounting for around two-thirds of fatal injuries.
In the United Kingdom, over the past five years, almost 29,000 injuries have been reported due to a fall from height.
This trend is reflected is various other countries, making falls from height one of the biggest health & safety concerns for companies globally.
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.

This can be customised in your admin dashboard but the default height at which alerts are sent is 6ft off the ground.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can mute alerts on specific wearables to stop certain job roles from being notified they are 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.
