What is the Portable Worksite Alarm?

The Portable Worksite Alarm (PWA) is a wireless bridge that connects our Grace Lone Worker safety devices to the Grace Connected Safety™ Cloud Monitoring Portal, ensuring the safety of your workers in real-time. It is designed to work seamlessly with our range of safety pendants and features both satellite and cellular connectivity.

What is the battery life of the PWA?

The PWA is powered by an internal, rechargeable battery, with a run time of up to 24 hours with a recharge time 6-10 hours.

Can I use the PWA Portable Worksite Alarm as part of a confined space operation?

Yes, PWA Portable Worksite Alarm is not an environmental gas monitor, but is a very effective safety monitor when placed at a confined space entry point.  The PWA is a VERY loud alarm with bright LED lights and acts as a signal repeater; the worker inside the confined space is assigned any model of Grace Safety Pendant while the outside Confined Space Attendant carries a confined space display model of WorkForce 2 or Sc500 to receive alarms relayed from the PWA, as well as send evacuation signals to the worker. A confined space operation is OSHA 1910.146 when used in this configuration. The PWA is also equipped with its own manual EVAC evacuation button.

Can the PWA be used in areas without satellite coverage?

Yes, the PWA features both satellite and cellular connectivity, ensuring reliable data signaling with the Cloud even in areas without satellite coverage.

What kind of alerts will I receive in the event of an emergency?

In the event of an emergency, you will receive immediate alerts through the Grace Connected Safety™ Cloud Monitoring Portal. These alerts will include the worker’s location, status, and any relevant information about the emergency situation.
