The rear blind spot is a huge problem regardless of the vehicle or machine– reversing vehicles account for a quarter of all workplace deaths. With 90% of these reversing accidents occurring off-road (loading bays, lorry parks, quarry sites, warehouses etc.) there has never been a greater necessity to carry out effective risk-assessments of reversing processes.
A white noise reversing alarm is a device to warn anyone in a vehicle’s path that it is moving backwards. Reversing beeper alarms were introduced to Europe in the 1970s and provided a vital step forward in safety.
Brigade Electronics – at the forefront of reversing alarm technology since introducing the first reverse alarm models addressed the problems of effectiveness of alarms in urban and work environments.
Instantly Locatable Sound
Our patented White Sound® reversing alarms are the safest reversing alarms in the world and do not cause a noise nuisance. Simple to fit and relatively inexpensive, the ‘ssh ssh’ white noise can be heard extremely clearly in the danger zone, even when wearing headphones or ear defenders or for people who have hearing difficulties. Yet the sound dissipates quickly outside the hazard zone, lessening the environmental impact and the likelihood of noise complaints.
Heard Only Where it Matters
White noise reversing alarms use broadband frequencies, giving greater directional information to the ear. This means the sound is instantly locatable – a huge leap forward in terms of safety because even a split-second’s confusion can result in serious injury or death.
