Construction is a high-hazard industry, and while Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) has always been a top priority, many companies are now adding Personal Current and Voltage Detectors (PCVD), like the COMPASS Pro, to their lists of must-haves. These devices are small, but they can have a big impact on preventing falls, electrocutions, accidents, and injury on the job.

Fall prevention tops the list

While construction workers have many things to watch out for on a jobsite, the potential for falls is something that must not be overlooked. This is why a wearable safety device is so important. The COMPASS Pro Safety Solution can detect and send an instant emergency alert when a worker falls or gets struck in the head on site.

The biggest roadblock in prevention is awareness — by both construction workers and site managers. Sometimes workers may forget the right harness or skip securing a ladder in a rush. The COMPASS Pro Safety Solution may not prevent the fall, but it will speed up response time – saving precious time, when every second counts.

Real-world protection: A fall scenario

Imagine a worker conducting a roof inspection on a multi-story building. He slips on loose gravel near the edge, falls backward, and hits the decking below. Disoriented and in pain, he’s unable to reach his radio or call for help. If this site is remote or if it’s late in the day when fewer workers are around, the delay in finding him could be life-threatening.

With COMPASS Pro clipped to his hard hat, the fall is detected instantly. The device sends a real-time SOS alert to the designated site manager, including GPS location, so help is dispatched right away—even if the worker is unconscious or can’t reach his radio.

Voltage & Current: The Invisible Threat on Every Jobsite

Electricity is one of the most dangerous — and least visible — hazards construction workers face every day. Whether from overhead lines, buried cables, or exposed wiring, electrocutions can lead to serious injury or death in a matter of seconds.

The challenge is that these hazards aren’t always obvious. A seemingly harmless conduit or disconnected fixture could still carry live voltage, especially on dynamic, high-paced jobsites where multiple trades are working simultaneously.

This is where advanced wearable detection becomes a game changer. COMPASS Pro is equipped with 360° current and voltage detection, alerting workers in real time when they enter a dangerous environment. With directional awareness and adjustable sensitivity, workers can be warned before accidental contact — adding a layer of proactive prevention, not just emergency response.

When paired with its instant fall detection and SOS functionality, this electrical detection capability makes COMPASS Pro an all-in-one solution for jobsites where voltage exposure is a daily risk.

Alerts tailored for construction workers

Not all jobsites are built the same. When construction workers are on site, they need to know that their PPE can act fast and be tailored to the rugged and often unpredictable nature of their work environment.

COMPASS Pro allows alerts to be fully customized for each jobsite – so your worker will never have to wonder if they are fully protected.

A new standard for jobsite safety

Wearable safety systems are quickly becoming essential for construction workers. Technology is catching up to these hard-hat jobs, as the focus on safety becomes more urgent.

Wearable safety solutions like the COMPASS Pro Safety Solution are at the forefront of this shift. With automatic fall detection, GPS-enabled SOS alerts, and construction-grade design, COMPASS Pro delivers a smarter, faster response to accidents – transforming jobsite safety from reactive to proactive.
