Awareness
Compass
Essential voltage and current detection for simple, reliable hazard awareness — a standalone wearable that cannot later be upgraded to the Navigator® Connected Safety Platform.
Safeguard Equipment
Built for Leaders Who Refuse to Accept Preventable Injuries.
Compass detects electrical threats, slips and falls, impacts, and worker-down events. Navigator brings every alert into one place so teams can see what's happening, coordinate response, and learn from every incident. Rijngard is authorized partner of Safeguard Equipment products — the Compass Series and Navigator® — across the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.
The Compass Series
Connected hazard detection built for the front line
Compass Series brings preventive and responsive safety together in one wearable platform — detect energised threats early, warn workers in the moment, and support rapid emergency response when seconds matter.
- • Real-time AC voltage detection with directional awareness
- • Automatic worker-down detection, SOS button, fall and impact alerts
- • Hard-hat mounts, handheld adapters and wrist bands to fit how crews work
- • Scales from essential awareness to fully connected, intrinsically safe deployments
The Compass Series
The Compass Lineup
Baseline
Compass Core
Dependable hazard detection for crews near energised threats, with the option to upgrade into Connected Safety later.
Connected safety
Compass Pro
Customisable advanced Connected Safety with preventive and responsive protection, including arc flash detection, man-down monitoring, and SOS alerts.
Intrinsically safe
Compass Pro IS
Intrinsically Safe (IS) certified for the most hazardous environments, delivering the full suite of connected safety features where protection matters most.
The Compass Series
Automatic Detection Features
Arc Flash Detection
Triggered when UV light indicative of an arc flash is detected.
Fall Detection
Activates when the device senses an acceleration threshold indicative of a fall of 1.8m (6ft).
Impact Detection
Alerts if the device, mounted on a hard hat, detects a significant impact.
Man Down
Informs the response team when no motion is detected after an alert.
Hardware + Navigator® Software
One connected safety system, end to end.
Pair The Compass Series hardware with Navigator® Connected Safety Platform to transform isolated alerts into repeatable safety performance across every crew and shift.
NAVIGATOR® CONNECTED SAFETY PLATFORM
Turn field alerts into coordinated action.
Navigator® connects Compass events, team context and response workflows in one operational view, so safety leaders move from reactive reporting to proactive control. The command centre for safety leaders and operations teams.
- • Live worker locations, fleet status and event feeds
- • Worker-down and SOS workflows with shared visibility for dispatch and supervisors
- • Trend analysis and reporting that strengthens prevention and audit readiness
Live operational awareness
Unify field status, worker context and event feeds in one view so supervisors act with confidence.
Faster incident coordination
Escalate alerts to the right people with clear context and response workflows built for real operations.
Continuous safety intelligence
Convert event history into actionable trends that strengthen planning, coaching and programme performance.
Detect
Hazard detection oversight
Monitor field alerts, confirm event context and reinforce controls before exposure escalates.
Prevent
Accident prevention programmes
Surface patterns across near-misses and interventions so leaders focus where risk is highest.
Respond
Emergency response workflows
Coordinate worker-down and SOS events with shared visibility across dispatch and supervisors.
