"Working alongside our internal team and those at SonaSafe we've seen an 80% reduction in near misses as well as a 65% reduction in exclusion zone breaches. Ultimately we're driving behavioural change through a more engaged workforce and creating a safer work environment."

Intelligent Industry Safety
The Challenge
Forklifts and mobile plant are essential to New Zealand's warehousing and distribution industries, but they remain one of the nation’s biggest sources of serious harm. WorkSafe New Zealand continues to report high numbers of vehicle related fatalities and injuries in shared spaces where people and machines work side by side. Traditional systems often over-alert, leading to fatigue and frustration that cause operators to switch them off entirely.
80%
Reduction in 'Near Miss' incidents through positive behavioural change.
Configured for your site. SonaSafe is a fully integrated proximity awareness solution that combines both real-time incident alerts, together with analytics and staff engagement tools that drive behavioural change at an affordable price.
65% Fewer Exclusion Zone Breaches
Proactive management reduces exclusion zone breaches by 65% and builds a culture where everyone feels genuine ownership and responsibility for safety.
80% Reduction of Near Misses
By combining real-time alerts with clear, actionable data, SonaSafe helps teams avoid risk before it turns into an incident.
Trusted 24/7 Device Monitoring
We currently have more than 3,000 SonaSafe devices working every day across warehousing, logistics, ports, container handling, and heavy industry. Our solution creates its own network with devices reporting back faults and health back to our cloud based Device Management application. Any damage, faults and disconnection of speakers or wires is detected and reported back to our monitoring system.

Devices Monitored 24/7
Driving Behavioural Change
By turning every alert into usable insight, SonaSafe reshapes worksite behaviour. The details of each incident flow straight to our cloud-based dashboard, capturing who, what, when, and where. Geo-tags highlight high-risk zones, while trend graphs by time, shift, and location reveal patterns that traditional reporting never shows.
Real Time Alerts
SonaSafe alerts the driver and pedestrian when the warning or stop exclusion zones are breached.  Real time alerts enable both drivers and pedestrians to avoid collisions, providing instant feedback to support positive behaviour change.
Configurable Exclusion Zones
SonaSafe configurable bubble shapes and safe zones reflect the risk of each site environment including detection of obscured people around racks and pallets. Reducing  false positives, and providing quality data you can act on.
Camera AI Integration
SonaSafe supports camera AI integration with third party systems. Creating a full picture solution where on the ground users benefit from real time alerts and collision avoidance. With the added power of integrated visual reviews from camera AI systems.  
See the Unseen
A unique combination of sound and radio technology provides reliable proximity awareness detection to keep workers safe, even when obscured from view behind pallets or shelving.

Compliance
Under New Zealand’s Health and Safety at Work Act (2015), PCBUs must separate people and mobile plant “so far as is reasonably practicable.” SonaSafe provides a clear, auditable path to meet that duty, supporting both compliance and confidence.
