Connected Safety for High-Risk Electrical Work
Compass® wearables detect live AC voltage at the point of work, and Navigator® gives your safety team a real-time command view.

The Reality in the Field
Traditional PPE and procedures can’t detect hidden electrical energy, and they can’t tell you when a worker is down in a remote right-of-way. That’s where incidents happen.
Buried lines, back-feed, overhead conductors, and energized equipment give no visual warning before contact. Visual inspection alone isn’t enough.
When a worker falls, collapses, or takes a hit, nobody nearby may notice, and locating them across a service territory wastes the minutes that matter most.
Reporting typically relies on phone calls, radios, or someone nearby to raise the alarm, introducing delay into the exact moments when response speed saves outcomes.
Incident reports arrive after the fact, scattered across spreadsheets and emails, leaving safety leaders coaching from last quarter’s problems instead of this week’s.
The Safeguard Solution Suite
Detect AC voltage and current at the point of work, with directional awareness that identifies the risk source before contact. Pro models add automatic impact, fall, and worker-down detection with a manual SOS.
One command view for field signals, device status, and emergency workflows. Authorized teams see alerts, worker location, and event history in real time, from detection through post-event review.
When a worker is down, Navigator pushes alerts to supervisors, safety teams, and dispatch simultaneously (with incident type and precise location), so the right resources move first, not second.

Utility teams use Safeguard to reduce risk where it matters most.
In Their Words
The Compass swept toward the brush and I stopped everyone right where they were standing. When we cleared it, there was a downed conductor: energized, buried in the undergrowth, completely invisible in the dark. Those guys were heading straight for it. Without the Compass, nobody would have known it was there.
We had a tech working solo near a buried line. The Compass Pro picked up the voltage he couldn’t see and gave him enough time to back off. That alert saved his life.
We had a fatality five years ago that still haunts this team. If we’d had this system, then … it would’ve ended differently.
There are a hundred stories where the Compass Pro almost had to save a life, and that’s the point. It helps prevent the worst from ever happening.
Used by safety and operations leaders at 400+ utility, telecom, and infrastructure organizations, protecting over 100,000 field workers.
Built For Your Crews
Investor-owned, municipal, and cooperative utilities with distributed crews working near energized assets: transmission, distribution, substations, and metering.
Line, vegetation, and service contractors delivering construction, maintenance, and restoration work alongside utility-owned crews.
Telecom, broadband, and infrastructure teams working in proximity to overhead and underground electrical risk on shared right-of-way.
Mutual-aid and storm restoration crews deployed into fast-moving, unfamiliar, high-risk environments where awareness of downed lines matters most.
Teams operating in flammable gas and vapor environments where intrinsic safety certification is required. Compass Pro IS delivers full connected capability.
High-risk field operations where crews need awareness of electrical hazards and fast emergency coordination when seconds matter.
Frequently Asked
Compass wearables continuously monitor for AC voltage and current at the point of work, and provide directional awareness so crews recognize the source of risk before contact. Compass Pro models add automatic detection of impacts, falls, and worker-down events, plus a manual SOS for emergency escalation. Alert thresholds are configurable by task and location.
The Compass Series scales from essential awareness to full connected safety:
