Automated Safety Monitoring for the Modern Construction Site
Construction sites are inherently dangerous environments. Your team faces constant risks from falls, accidents, and health emergencies, often while working alone in remote or elevated areas. Meanwhile, you face the pressure of maintaining strict OSHA compliance and the financial and reputational costs of a single incident.
Managing a construction crew is a balancing act. You're responsible for their safety, but you can't be everywhere at once. You need a reliable system that watches over your team, provides immediate help when needed, and simplifies your safety documentation, giving you and your crew peace of mind.
Equip Your Crew
Each worker gets a small, discreet MySentry device, worn on the body. It's rugged, water-resistant, and designed for the tough conditions of a construction site.
Monitor Automatically
MySentry continuously monitors for falls and potential health emergencies. If a fall is detected, it automatically triggers an alert after 2 minutes if the worker doesn't respond.
Respond Instantly
Alerts are sent to on-site safety managers and our 24/7 monitoring center. GPS location pinpoints exactly where help is needed, ensuring a rapid response.
Streamline Compliance
Every event is logged, creating an automatic paper trail for OSHA and internal safety audits. Demonstrate your commitment to safety with concrete data.
Quick Answer
The most effective way to enhance construction site safety is with an automated monitoring system like MySentry. It provides immediate fall detection, a panic alarm for conscious workers, and GPS tracking to locate individuals quickly, complementing traditional safety protocols with a layer of proactive, 24/7 protection.

A Non-Negotiable Part of Our Safety Gear
“MySentry gives me peace of mind. I know if one of my guys has a problem, we'll know about it instantly.” - John Miller, Safety Manager
How It Works
- Automatic Fall Detection: Using advanced motion sensors, MySentry detects the signature of a hard fall. If the worker is unresponsive for two minutes, an alert is automatically dispatched.
- On-Demand Panic Alarm: Workers can instantly call for help via a voice command, a tap on their smartphone, or their smartwatch. This is crucial for situations where a fall hasn't occurred but assistance is needed.
- Real-Time Health Monitoring: The device monitors key biometric data, providing an early warning system for potential health issues like heatstroke or cardiac events on the job.
- Pinpoint GPS Tracking: In an emergency, every second counts. Our system provides the exact GPS coordinates of the worker, so help can be sent to the right location without delay.
What Happens After an Alert
When an alert is triggered, a multi-channel notification is sent to your designated safety managers and our professional monitoring team. We attempt to contact the worker first. If there is no response, we coordinate with on-site personnel or local emergency services, providing them with the critical location and incident data they need.
