Keeping your people and assets safe 

WZBob improves your awareness of lightning risk on sight by ensuring sitewide lightning risk communication for your operations. The light and sound alerts give everyone adequate time to act quickly when thresholds are breached. 

The system can reduce Incidents in the Field and customise your response plans to lightning by; 

  • Providing clear light and sound-based alerts, which decreases your team’s reliance on mobile phones, keeping their focus on the work at hand. 
  • Customising WzBob to your Trigger Action Response Plans (TARPs) and other requirements, ensuring you are solidifying the safety of your sites based on your existing, functional parameters.
