Connected worker safety — New Zealand

Know before it becomes
an incident.

Sentrywear brings proven connected-PPE technology — heat and fatigue monitoring, gas detection, lone-worker alerting — to New Zealand's highest-risk industries. Not yet available here. We're changing that, starting with forestry.

Technology already trusted offshore

We bring exclusive New Zealand distribution rights to established connected-safety platforms, rather than building hardware from scratch — proven technology, adapted for local conditions and supported locally.

Gas & lone-worker detection

Atmospheric and confined-space hazard monitoring with automatic distress and man-down alerting, routed to a live-monitored response service.

CONFINED SPACE · MINING · INDUSTRIAL · SECURITY

Heat, fatigue & vibration monitoring

Wearable core-temperature, exertion and hand-arm vibration tracking, with real-time alerts before heat stress or HAVS becomes a lasting injury.

FORESTRY · CONSTRUCTION · STEEL FABRICATION

Site-wide awareness

Connected helmets and proximity alerting that warn workers and plant operators before they enter each other's hazard zones, on larger multi-trade sites.

CONSTRUCTION SITES · CIVIL WORKS

Why New Zealand, why now

Technology that's already standard practice offshore hasn't reached New Zealand's highest-risk sectors yet. That gap is the opportunity — and the longer it stays open, the more workers go without it.

A regulator actively pushing for it

WorkSafe New Zealand's new forestry Approved Code of Practice is driving fresh investment in compliance and monitoring technology across the sector.

No incumbent to displace

Unlike PPE vending, fixings, or packaging, connected worker safety has no established New Zealand distributor — this is a genuinely open category, not a crowded one.

Proven, not experimental

Every platform we work with is already deployed at scale in Australia, the UK, and North America — we're not asking New Zealand crews to be early adopters of unproven tech.
