June 28, 2006 — Across the United States, noise pollution is not just an inconvenience — it's a major safety concern and health hazard, especially on busy construction sites. United Kingdom-based Brigade Electronics' multi-frequency broadband alarms (BBS-tek) are striving to change that by becoming the audible reversing signal of choice for a wide variety of applications.

 

BBS-tek guarantees a fast response from those close-by. According to the company, broadband sound is more effective at alerting persons to imminent danger, while actively eliminating noise pollution. It is locatable, instantly pin-pointing the direction of danger because it is only heard in and around the immediate danger area. BBS-tek's multi-frequency range spans from 400 Hz to more than 10,000 Hz, avoiding the aural hazards and irritations resulting from shrill narrowband sirens.

 

This innovative technology is already in place at a variety of security and safety-conscious institutions, including the Pentagon, and U.K. airport terminals, where BBS-tek alarms have been fitted to electric passenger carts. Broadband sound alarms also feature on mining and construction vehicles across the United States, including cement mixers, wheel loaders, compactors and dumpers — and on delivery trucks and mass transit vehicles in large urban areas, such as London's famous red passenger buses.
