Proximity Warning & HFR Camera Systems
for Construction
Protecting people and assets at the people-plant interface.
Why are proximity warning and camera systems for construction essential?
The construction sector remains one of the most hazardous environments to work in, heavily driven by the constant interaction between site workers and heavy plant machinery. Underscoring this immense risk, provisional data from the HSE Work-Related Fatal Injuries Overview reveals that 24 fatalities occurred due to workers being struck by a moving vehicle between 2025 and 2026.
ZoneSafe proximity warning systems for construction detect pedestrian workers working around moving vehicles and warn vehicle operators when they are nearby. HFR Cameras are the latest addition to the ZoneSafe range and significantly reduce collision risk using clever AI technology. By improving visibility, eliminating blind spots, and creating situational awareness for both drivers and pedestrian workers, these systems help protect lives.
“We’d looked at ZoneSafe before and felt it was the right technology to help keep our team safe. But because we frequently move construction sites and hire a range of different vehicles, we only needed a semi-permanent solution. Now that ZoneSafe have released the quick-fit proximity warning system for construction, it’s perfect for our needs. Every time we change site, or vehicles go back to the yard, we simply swap each ZoneSafe system to a new vehicle”
How do ZoneSafe proximity warning & camera solutions increase safety in construction?
ZoneSafe have a range of safety solutions that work independently or can combine technologies to provide the ultimate level of safety for your construction site.
- Proximity warning systems for construction, such as Vehicle-to-Person-Alert, detect your workforce even when they can’t be seen. The tag-based solution provides awareness to both the driver and the pedestrian worker. Whenever a person enters the detection zone around a vehicle, the in-cab control unit alerts the driver to their proximity. At the same time, each worker’s tag vibrates, warning them when they are too close to a vehicle. ZoneSafe proximity warning systems do not rely on line of sight or camera vision, so they detect workers even when they are hidden behind obstacles.
- For temporary vehicle deployments, short-term projects, contractor vehicles, and hire fleets, ZoneSafe also has the Vehicle-to-Person-Alert Quick Fit system. Proximity warning to detect workers on a temporary basis. Systems can be easily swapped between vehicles.
- HFR Cameras are the latest addition to the ZoneSafe range and detect everyone onsite through AI camera vision technology. Cameras are fitted to each vehicle, helping to eliminate any blind spots the driver may have. Drivers are alerted to each person detection via audible and visual warnings from the in-cab control unit. This system works for construction sites with visitors, or where tags cannot be issued, because although cameras can’t detect people behind objects, the system doesn’t require people to wear tags to be detected.
-
ZoneSafe also combines proximity warning and HFR camera technology to ensure it detects everyone throughout the construction site. Whether it’s a pedestrian worker, site visitor or someone working behind an object who can’t be seen, drivers are made aware of everyone on the construction site. Improved awareness of your surroundings significantly reduces the risk of an accident on your construction site.
You can also add further layers of safety to your worksite, including vehicle detection, active signage, access control, and data management. Talk to us today for more information.
