Find the right safety system for your construction vehicle or plant equipment.

On construction sites, worker and vehicle safety is paramount. However, heavy plant machinery combined with on and off-road construction vehicles pose a real threat. On average, seven workers are killed and 93 are seriously injured each year. Slow-moving vehicles, blind spots and harsh conditions with poor visibility create some of the world’s highest-risk working environments.

Brigade’s market-leading construction vehicle safety systems are designed to stop incidents and improve safety in line with regulations such as FORS, CLOCS, HS2 and Crossrail. From 360-degree camera systems to white sound alarms see our comprehensive range below.

Brigade’s commercial vehicle and plant safety systems are suitable for most construction vehicles and plant equipment. These safety systems include front and rear-view cameras, side cameras, 360° cameras, in-cab monitors, Backsense® Radar detection, warning alarms and mobile digital recorders.

The Top Safety Risks in the Construction Industry

Each year hundreds of workers and machines are busy on sites up and down the country. To protect site workers, site visitors, and equipment, rigorous health and safety standards in construction are essential. The threats and challenges posed by this environment include:

 

  • On and off-road collisions due to front, side, and rear blind spots
  • Collisions due to poor visibility (darkness, fog, dust, dirt, ice, rain)
  • Ear defenders reducing site workers’ ability to hear approaching vehicles
  • Loud and single tone reversing alarms ignored by site workers
  • Confusing and conflicting industry safety specifications
  • Damage and theft from criminal activity

360° Cameras with AI Technology

Backeye®360 AI Intelligent detection is a 360-degree high-definition four-camera system enhanced by state-of-the-art AI technology to identify humans and effectively eliminate all blind spots.

Providing a comprehensive view of the surrounding area in a single image, Backeye®360 AI audibly and visually alerts the driver when a person is detected using artificial intelligence.

Designed to Accurately Detect Objects in Blind Spots

Backsense® heavy-duty radar proximity sensor systems are designed to objects in blind spots, significantly reducing incidents. They detect stationary and moving objects, providing the driver with in-cab visual and audible warnings – alerting the operator whose attention cannot be focused on all danger areas. Backsense® obstacle detection sensors work effectively in harsh environments and in poor visibility including darkness, smoke and fog.

Backsense® Radar sensors are available in fixed detection range models and fully programmable models allowing bespoke detection areas and the ability to calibrate fixed objects or bodywork.
