Safeguard Equipment, headquartered in Post Falls, Idaho, is the preeminent provider of ground-breaking safety solutions, specializing in innovative devices and technology relating to personal voltage and current detection. With a commitment to innovation and reliability, Safeguard Equipment continues to revolutionize safety practices across industries.
Safeguard Equipment's premier safety solution - COMPASS Pro™ - is equipped to detect a range of critical events, including arc flashes, falls, head impacts, and no movement – in addition to current and voltage. When any of these events occur, it immediately triggers SMS and in-app notifications that – when paired with the innate live location detection, team chat functionality and emergency prompts -- ensures a rapid response in critical situations. In high-risk industries such as utility, oil and gas, and construction, where workers face the constant threat of injury or even fatality, rapid emergency response is paramount. Every minute counts, and the requisite for an efficient, reliable, and holistic safety solution has never been more apparent.
COMPASS Pro™ is a catalyst in the field of worker safety, providing a unique consolidation of features that empowers individuals and teams to respond swiftly and effectively in emergency situations. Its primary focus is detecting and deriving energized sources, allowing field workers to bypass potential hazards -- thereby significantly mitigating the risk of accidents.
Key features of COMPASS Pro™ include:
Mobile Response Software:
Access our COMPASS Pro software on your mobile device using the Safeguard Equipment app; available free for download on all Android and iOS devices. Connect to your COMPASS Pro device to adjust settings, communicate with your team, and contact emergency services in the event of an accident.
Crisis Detection:
The COMPASS Pro device can detect falls, arc-flash events, head impacts, and no movement – in addition to current and voltage. Users can also summon aid for any crisis event, such as a heart attack or work-related injury -- with a single push of a button.
Emergency Service Notification:
Oftentimes, several hours can elapse before help is on the scene of a work-related injury, especially for lone workers. COMPASS Pro cuts the response time down from hours to minutes by automatically notifying coworkers via in-app push notifications and SMS messages.
Location Detection:
In many cases, workplace injuries occur in remote, hard-to-reach places, which severely hinders response time. COMPASS Pro will alert the designated response team to the user’s precise location, enabling workers to be found and assisted as quickly as possible.
"The safety and well-being of field workers has always been at the core of our mission," said Tim Ledford, CEO (Chief Executive Officer) at Safeguard Equipment.

This integrated approach will revolutionize worker safety and help protect lives in high-risk industries."
