There is this company in Southern BC that has a collision Avoidance System for Mobile equipment, The workers are outfitted with a tag in a vest or.. The tag then broadcasts a signal to the vehicle in the workplace, and this provides 360 degree protection to the worker. The vest can warn the worker and the machine operator of the presence of a vehicle within the safety zone with an audible tone and or/ vibration. This would be a wonderful tool for the drivers and pedestrians that work around mobile equipment. The System would work in conjuction with the other safety systems on the work site. They are still in prototype stage but it should hit the market within the next year.
