The rear blind spot is a huge problem regardless of the vehicle or machine – reversing vehicles account for a quarter of all workplace deaths. With 90% of these reversing accidents occurring off-road (loading bays, lorry parks, quarry sites, warehouses etc.) there has never been a greater necessity to carry out effective risk-assessments of reversing processes.

A reversing alarm is a device to warn anyone in a vehicle’s path that it is moving backwards. Beeping reversing alarms were introduced to Europe in the 1970s and provided a vital step forward in safety.

Brigade Electronics – at the forefront of reversing alarm technology since introducing the first reversing and warning alarm models addressed the problems of effectiveness of alarms in urban and work environments.
