REAL TIME WARNINGS
Stop risky entries before they turn into incidents
Unauthorized access can lead to theft, property damage, or endanger workers’ safety if they enter areas they aren’t cleared to be in.
In high-risk zones that can be enough to cause a serious injury, damage expensive plant or halt production. It also exposes your business to investigations, legal action and reputational damage if you cannot show you had effective controls in place.
spacebands creates a digital perimeter around restricted areas. When a wearable detects a nearby beacon, it warns the worker that they are entering a zone they are not cleared for. You reduce risky entries in real time and capture the data you need to tighten controls over time.

PRODUCT BENEFITS
Unauthorized zone warnings in real time
Unauthorized zone checks help identify areas that may pose a risk to worker safety.
By pairing beacons with spacebands wearables you can:
- Warn workers instantly when they enter areas where they are not authorised to be.
- Focus controls on genuinely high-risk locations such as live plant rooms, chemical stores, exclusion zones or drop zones.
- Reduce the chance of falls from height, contact with moving machinery and exposure to hazardous substances.
- Cut the risk of theft, damage and unwanted downtime in high-value asset areas.
Fewer people in the wrong place means fewer accidents, fewer claims and less time spent explaining what went wrong.
REQUIRED TECHNOLOGY
Unauthorized access
In order to use spacebands’ unauthorized access system you will need the equipment below:
Customizable Settings:
spacebands’ wearable wristband triggers an alert to activate if a worker enters an area they do not have access rights for, informing them that they have entered an unauthorized zone. Alerts are triggered via proximity to a beacon which can be placed at areas that require access rights for entry.
Every alert is saved on the wearable and then synced to the dashboard. This gives you a clear record of how often people attempt to enter restricted areas, which locations are most at risk and where you may need clearer signage, barriers or training.
Alert Distance:
Near (1-3m), Middle (3-5m), Far (5-10m)
Mutable:
Mute specific wearables from alert
STATISTICS
75% of safety pro's consider unauthorized access to be a significant safety concern
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the construction industry accounts for the highest number of workplace fatalities due to falls from heights, with unauthorized access to restricted areas being a contributing factor.
Industry research shows that a high proportion of safety professionals see unauthorised access as a significant concern, especially on complex sites with multiple contractors and changing work zones.
By pairing access alerts with HAVS, noise and proximity data in a single system, spacebands helps you tackle the root causes of incidents, not just react to them after the fact.

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
What is a controlled access device?
A controlled access device is a device or system that restricts access to a particular area or resource based on authorization or permission. These devices are commonly used in security systems to ensure that only authorized individuals are able to access certain areas or resources.
Which industries benefit from access and zone monitoring?
Any site with restricted areas can benefit, particularly construction, manufacturing, logistics and sites with high-value or high-risk equipment.
Can I see which user has entered an unauthorized area?
spacebands values the privacy of individual users, so the device won’t tell you who entered an unauthorized area, but you will know which device entered the area as it will have saved the alert on the wearable. The information will also be sent to the analytics dashboard when the device is next charged at a charging station. If a wearable device is assigned to a user, you will know who has entered an unauthorized area.
Why are controlled access and unauthorized zone checks important?
Controlled access and unauthorized zone checks are important for several reasons:
How do controlled access devices improve workplace safety?
Controlled access devices warn unauthorised individuals from entering sensitive or potentially dangerous areas. For example, entering a chemical storage area.
Can access permissions be controlled centrally?
Yes, admins can control access permissions on the dashboard and allow access to areas (mute unauthorized access alerts) to specific wearable devices.
