WASP
The WASP is an innovative but simple monitoring system designed to protect emergency services workers and members of the public.
It is the world’s first digital monitoring system created specially to assist emergency services workers and keep them safe in a variety of scenarios. The WASP, or Warning Alarm for Stability Protection, attaches to any surface in any position and provides an early warning of movement and vibration.
The WASP was conceived by experienced fire fighter and International Search and Rescue specialist Matt Keogh in conjunction with UK industry leading monitoring experts Datum Group.
It provides a welcome substitute to traditional methods of monitoring potential movement and removes the potential for human error.
The WASP can detect movement from 0.1° to 2.6° and / or vibration from 0.5hz to 100hz.
The WASP’s magnetic base provides for quick and easy attachment to metal – and is supplied with a variety of attachments to provide fixings to glass, metal, concrete and other structures.
It means emergency services personnel can concentrate on the task working safely in areas of extreme pressure.
