The Safetech
Bodyguard System is designed to offer unique
protection against accidents
involving industrial conveyors and
access points leading to hazardous
machinery. Sierra Safety Systems Protect your
employees even if they are unconscious.
Unlike
other systems, Safetech protects
workers who are unconscious or
injured, even if no one else
sees what happens. Anyone working near
the conveyor area wears a Safetech
Tag Belt, which contains two
miniature transponders. The belts are
light, comfortable and easy to wear.
The transponder pouches are visually
distinctive to help safety enforcement.
A zone of protection is provided by the transmitting
loop surrounding the incline section
of the conveyor. If someone wearing
a tag belt passes through the loop,
a signal is instantly sent to the
Safetech Control System, which sounds
an alarm and activates the emergency
stop procedure. It can also send a
signal to a remote control room or
security post.
There are numerous failsafe
devices built into the system. The
conveyor and other equipment cannot
be started unless the Safetech System
is activated. The internal circuitry
continuously monitors electronic
components and
back-up systems,
should they fail, the
unit shuts down and
sounds an alarm.
