Testimonials

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

What is a person down or man down device?
A man down or person down device is a safety device that is designed to detect when a person has fallen or is in a prone position and may be incapacitated or in need of assistance. It is commonly used in industries where workers may be operating alone or in hazardous environments, such as construction, mining, and oil and gas.
What types of industries are person down devices used in?
Person down devices are commonly used in industries where workers are exposed to hazardous environments or work alone, and where the risk of accidents is high. Any industry where workers are at risk of accidents or incapacitation can benefit from using person down devices to ensure their safety and provide peace of mind.
What are the benefits of using a person down device?
The primary benefit of using a person down device is to increase safety for workers. In hazardous work environments, workers may be at risk of injury or death if they become incapacitated due to a fall or other accidents. A person down device can help to detect these incidents quickly and loudly alert others to the worker's location, potentially saving their life.Employers have a responsibility to ensure the safety of their workers, and failure to provide appropriate safety equipment can result in legal liability. By providing person down devices to workers, employers can demonstrate that they have taken appropriate steps to ensure worker safety and reduce the risk of legal liability.
