Safety Is Getting A Whole Lot Smarter

This jobsite “hard hat” offers the user essential protection of the head, but so much more. 

  • a sensor that sounds an alarm if it detects toxic gases
  • a proximity sensor which notifies the wearer of dangerously close overhead objects via a haptic feedback system
  • notification to managers if sensors in the helmet detect problems with the wearer's heart rate, body temperature or blood oxygen level
  • detects if the user has fallen down, left a geofenced area, or is not wearing the helmet when they should be
  • two-way audio-visual calls with managers or with each other
  • a 160-degree view of the wearer's surroundings
  • record video or still photos at any time, simply by pressing a 'Capture' button.
  • an Emergency SOS switch at the front of the helmet that will send a wireless alert, plus it will cause integrated lights to start flashing

This is the future of workplace safety. 

On modern worksites, workers are typically required to carry - or even wear - quite a few electronic devices. The SmartHat is designed to make things easier, by incorporating a head-load of gadgets into a single safety helmet.
