Connected worker safety — New Zealand

Know before it becomes
an incident.

Sentrywear brings proven connected safety wear — hand-arm vibration monitoring, noise and dust exposure, proximity and exclusion-zone alerting — to New Zealand construction, civil works and steel fabrication. Not yet available here. We're changing that.

dedicated distributor of connected safety wear for construction and civil work in New Zealand. That's us.

Technology already trusted offshore

We bring exclusive New Zealand distribution rights to established connected safety wear platforms, rather than building hardware from scratch — proven technology, adapted for local conditions and supported locally.

Vibration, noise & dust monitoring

Wrist-worn hand-arm vibration (HAVS) tracking, with noise and dust exposure data integrated from leading dosimeters — real-time alerts before exposure becomes a lasting injury or claim.

STEEL FABRICATION · CIVIL WORKS · CONSTRUCTION

Proximity & exclusion zones

Beacon-based hazard zones around plant and machinery, with instant haptic and audible alerts when a worker enters an unsafe distance — configurable per site, per hazard.

CONSTRUCTION SITES · CIVIL WORKS · MULTI-TRADE SITES

Lone-worker & remote monitoring

Fall detection, missed check-ins and emergency alerting for workers operating alone or out of sight — from security patrols to remote forestry crews.

Why New Zealand, why now

Technology that's already standard practice offshore hasn't reached New Zealand's highest-risk sectors yet. That gap is the opportunity — and the longer it stays open, the more workers go without it.

Construction's numbers don't lie

Construction has the highest number of ACC claims of any industry, and a fatality rate 50% higher than Australia's — a clear, urgent case for better monitoring and prevention.

No incumbent to displace

Unlike PPE vending, fixings, or packaging, connected safety wear has no established New Zealand distributor for construction and civil work — this is a genuinely open category, not a crowded one.

Proven, not experimental

Every platform we work with is already deployed at scale in the UK, Australia and North America, trusted by major contractors — we're not asking New Zealand crews to be early adopters of unproven tech.
