With the development of the HazardAvert ® System, Kuplak Minerals has positioned itself as an industry leader in Proximity Detection and Avoidance. Working in partnership with the Mine Safety to reduce crushing and pinning type fatal accidents, the HazardAvert® was the first Proximity Detection system approved by MSHA.
Using a Magnetic Marker Field, HazardAvert ® Systems alert miners to danger areas as they work and navigate around heavy equipment and their inherent danger zones, and with selected systems, can automatically slow or stop the machines if miners are in a position of imminent threat. It has been successfully tested and in operation on various types of underground equipment such as continuous miners, as well as surface vehicles including haul trucks, forklifts and drag lines.
- Low Frequency Dynamic Marker Fields allow many personnel and machines to operate together without conflict or nuisance alarms.
- Shaped Field Technology allows larger marker fields where needed, and smaller fields in places that could create nuisance alarms. Multiple system configurations allow HazardAvert® to be effective on most any machine or vehicle.
Not only are the HazardAvert® systems tough, they are also reliable and easy to operate, promoting their use among workers. If you have equipment that moves, HazardAvert® addresses the dangers involved to promote safety awareness, and to integrate seamlessly into your current safety strategies. There is no limit to the number of workers or vehicles that can be outfitted.
