Safety Shield Global is on a mission to bring about behavioural change for on-site safety.
With their original Safety Shield solution, they were the first to bring human detection technology to the construction industry with a system which is still the most advanced on the market.
Founder and CEO, Jonathan Guest has dedicated his working life to creating a solution that would protect countless vulnerable construction workers, a passion that came following Jonathan receiving the tragic news of his own friend’s fatal accident.
Over 14 years of developing AI technology and robotics for collision avoidance, Safety Shield Global has worked alongside government, transport authorities, research institutes, international construction companies and OEMs to develop this multi-award-winning AI platform. In May 2024, Safety Shield was presented the King’s Award for Enterprise in Innovation in recognition of its ground-breaking work.
Safety Shield is trusted by numerous blue chip construction companies and has been fitted to more than 5,000 plant and machinery across the UK and Ireland, with zero people plant interface accidents reported.
Its reliability has been confirmed through six ISO certifications and has been awarded an accuracy measure of 99.6% by independent testing bodies.
