Horizon Partners with Safeguard Equipment to Enhance Worker Safety in the UK

Horizon Utility Supplies is excited to announce a new strategic partnership with Safeguard Equipment, a global leader in advanced personal safety technology. Through this collaboration, Horizon becomes the exclusive UK distributor of Safeguard’s flagship product, the Compass Pro Emergency Response System (ERS)—a cutting-edge device designed to transform safety for workers in high-risk environments.

A Revolution in Worker Safety

The Compass Pro ERS is trusted by thousands of field workers worldwide for its ability to enhance safety and efficiency. This state-of-the-art companion device offers a broad range of prevention and response capabilities, including;

  • Real-time electrical hazard detection – The Compass Pro ERS features an advanced early warning system designed to detect potentially hazardous voltage and current levels. This safety feature provides users with a clear audio visual alert to help prevent exposure to dangerously high electricity. As the device approaches a live area, it emits an increasingly rapid beeping sound, while an integrated LED light strip illuminates in the direction of the detected electrical source, offering precise and intuitive guidance for enhanced safety.
  • Fall alerts and SOS capabilities – The Compass Pro ERS will detect falls from height and impacts to the head. This can be programmed to send an alert to a pre-agreed contact to speed up the emergency response. An additional SOS button is on the unit for manual use.
  • Live monitoring available for rapid emergency response – The Compass ERS can send a live location to a pre determined user or group of contacts.
  • Customisable Settings – Voltage & Current Range 120VAV-500kVAC, Voltage & Current Detection Proximity Range, Alerts (mute audio alerts) and more.
  • Attachments – Helmet Mount, Wrist Strap & Pole Mount

Industries such as utilities, telecommunications, rail, construction and more rely on the Compass Pro ERS to safeguard employees in hazardous environments.

The Compass Pro is the only safety solution available that both helps prevent injuries and fatalities, but also reduces response time in the unfortunate situation of an incident.
