Used across construction, rail, logistics, and manufacturing to reduce risk and protect teams.
UNAUTHORISED ACCESS WARNINGS
Keep people out of harm’s way and protect high-value assets
Stop workers and visitors drifting into areas they should never be in. spacebands’ unauthorised access alerts warn people in real time when they enter restricted zones, helping you prevent injuries, protect equipment and reduce the risk of costly incidents and claims.
REAL TIME WARNINGS
Stop risky entries before they turn into incidents
Unauthorised access is rarely malicious. Most of the time it is someone taking a shortcut, following a colleague or stepping into an area they do not fully understand.
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
Turn restricted areas into clearly controlled zones
Unauthorised zone monitoring helps you control who goes where on site, without building a maze of physical barriers.
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
What you need for unauthorised access alerts
To use spacebands’ unauthorised access system, you only need two devices. Together they create a flexible access control layer that fits around the way you already work.
Customisable Settings:
spacebands wearables can be configured to trigger alerts when a worker approaches beacons linked to unauthorised zones. Each beacon can be assigned to a specific area, so you can mirror your existing access rules on site.
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 professionals consider unauthorised access a significant site risk
Many serious incidents start with someone stepping into the wrong place at the wrong time. Falls from height, contact with moving equipment and exposure to hazardous areas are all more likely when access is not tightly controlled.
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 restricts entry to specific areas based on permissions, helping ensure only authorised people can enter certain zones.
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 worker entered a restricted zone?
You can see which wearable entered the zone. If that device is assigned to a named worker, you will know who triggered the alert.
Why are unauthorised access alerts important?
They help prevent injuries, protect equipment, control high-risk areas and demonstrate that you are managing access in line with safety expectations.
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 manage permissions from the dashboard and choose which wearables are allowed to enter specific zones.
