What types of industries use a trip/fall monitoring device?

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.

How does a trip/fall feature help me to reduce accidents at work?

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.
