Each year, the waste and recycling sector records some of the highest rates of workplace struck-by incidents in any industry.
SensorZone's diverse range of proximity warning solutions ensures workers are protected in every area of waste operations, from the tipping floor of a materials recovery facility to the curbside behind a refuse collection vehicle.
Tag-Based Proximity Detection
Proximity Warning Core uses RFID personnel tags and vehicle-mounted antennas to detect workers in a full 360-degree field around heavy machinery.
AI Camera-Only Detection
A standalone camera detection system that uses advanced AI to detect people and vehicles.
Delivers colour-coded distance alerts and the option to live stream and download video clips.
Tag + Camera Hybrid Detection
Proximity Warning Plus adds AI camera detection on top of Core tag-based technology, creating a dual-layer safety system that is widely seen as the gold standard in proximity alert safety.
Workers move on foot between processing stations while wheel loaders, forklifts and other heavy machinery transport materials around them.
Proximity Warning Core systems fitted to machinery provides 360-degree detection of tagged workers that isn't disrupted by objects, walls or piles of waste.
The constant movement of trucks, backing and loading operations, and the presence of both site workers and visiting drivers create overlapping traffic flows.
Proximity Warning Plus hybrid detection protects both tagged site workers and untagged visiting drivers.
Large earthmoving equipment, compactors, and dozers operate on uneven terrain with limited visibility due to dust, weather, and sheer scale.
Proximity Warning Plus' detection range (up to 20 metres) and ability to work without GPS or cellular connectivity make it ideal for landfill environments where infrastructure is minimal.
Refuse collection vehicle operatives face daily risk as they repeatedly step behind and beside a moving vehicle on public roads.
The Vision360 camera system gives the operator an unobstructed view around the entire vehicle, ensuring that workers and members of the public are kept safe.
SensorZone proximity warning systems are deployed across hundreds of waste and recycling operations, protecting workers in MRFs, transfer stations, landfills, and on collection rounds every day.
Deployed across hundreds of waste and recycling sites, from single site MRFs to multi-state operations.
IP67-rated hardware withstands the dust, moisture, impact, and temperature extremes found in waste operations.
Seamlessly combine Proximity Warning Core, Vision360, and RCV Smart Loader to match each area's risk profile.
3+ year battery life eliminates the burden of daily tag charging and administration
Heat maps and trend analysis help waste operators demonstrate continuous improvement.

For MRFs, SensorZone recommends Proximity Warning Core as the primary system because all regular site personnel can be issued RFID tags. For areas where visitors or temporary contractors are present, Proximity Warning Plus adds AI camera detection to cover untagged individuals.
Yes. SensorZone proximity warning systems help waste operators comply with HSE Workplace Transport Safety guidance and WISH (Waste Industry Safety and Health Forum) recommendations. The Insights Platform provides auditable records of proximity events, near-miss data, and corrective actions.
Proximity Warning Core installs in under one hour per vehicle. A fleet of 20 vehicles can typically be fully equipped within one to two weeks, including site assessment, installation, calibration, and operator training.
