Connected Safety Systems for Construction & Confined Space Work
Grace Industries helps protect construction crews working at height, in confined spaces, and across active jobsites with automatic fall detection, man-down alerting, evacuation signaling, and connected worker safety technology built for demanding field environments.
Falls remain the leading cause of death in construction.
Construction crews face serious risks when working at height, entering confined spaces, or operating across large active jobsites where rescue response time matters.
Leading Cause of Fatalities
According to OSHA’s Fall Prevention Campaign, falls are the leading cause of death in construction, with 389 fatal falls to a lower level reported out of 1,034 construction fatalities in 2024.
Emergency Rescue Matters
Delayed emergency response after a fall, medical event, or confined space incident can increase rescue complexity and put workers at greater risk on active construction sites.
Connected Worker Monitoring
Grace Industries connected safety systems help improve worker visibility with automatic fall detection, man-down alerting, evacuation signaling, and real-time monitoring technology.
Connected safety for the construction environments where risk is hardest to see.
From elevated steel work to confined space entry, Grace Industries helps construction teams improve emergency visibility where workers may be isolated, out of sight, or unable to call for help.
Elevated Steel & Structural Work
Workers operating on steel frameworks, elevated platforms, scaffolding, and unfinished structures face constant fall hazards where rapid emergency notification and worker visibility are critical. OSHA identifies falls as the leading cause of death in construction.
Common Risks: falls, suspension trauma, delayed rescue, limited visibility
Confined Space Construction
Construction crews entering utility vaults, tanks, pits, tunnels, crawl spaces, and underground structures may need connected safety monitoring where voice communication and visibility are limited. OSHA notes that confined spaces can be difficult to exit in an emergency.
Common Risks: atmospheric hazards, isolation, falls, difficult rescue
Road, Bridge & Infrastructure Projects
Large infrastructure and civil construction projects often involve spread-out crews, heavy equipment, moving traffic, and workers operating outside direct line of sight. FHWA work zone data highlights the ongoing safety risks around road construction sites.
Common Risks: struck-by hazards, traffic exposure, remote crews, communication gaps
Night Shift & Isolated Crews
After-hours maintenance teams, inspectors, security personnel, and smaller construction crews may work with reduced supervision and limited visibility where automatic distress alerting becomes especially important.
Common Risks: lone worker incidents, low visibility, delayed response
Utility & Underground Contractors
Utility contractors working around excavation zones, underground systems, electrical infrastructure, and confined utility spaces may require reliable emergency alerting when workers are separated from the main crew.
Common Risks: underground work, vault entry, excavation, worker isolation
Industrial Shutdown & Turnaround Work
Shutdown and turnaround projects often place contractors in unfamiliar facilities with elevated hazards, confined spaces, temporary crews, and fast-moving schedules. OSHA estimated the confined spaces construction rule could prevent fatalities and injuries.
Common Risks: temporary crews, confined spaces, unfamiliar hazardsGrace systems built for construction and confined space work.
Pair worker-worn fall detection with a rugged jobsite alarm gateway to improve emergency visibility across active construction environments.
WorkForce® WF1 & WF2 Pendants
WorkForce® pendants help protect construction workers with automatic fall detection, no-motion monitoring, panic alerting, and wireless emergency notification for crews working at height, underground, or outside direct line of sight.
- Automatic fall detection and no-motion monitoring
- Panic button for instant distress signaling
- WF2 display supports supervisor visibility
- Useful for confined space, utility, and elevated work
Portable Worksite Alarm
The Portable Worksite Alarm acts as a rugged connected gateway for active jobsites, receiving alerts from worker-worn pendants and activating bright strobes, loud sirens, and Grace Cloud Connect notifications.
- Local strobe and siren alarm notification
- Cellular and/or satellite connection options
- Supports Grace Cloud Connect monitoring
- Useful for temporary, remote, and confined space jobsites
