Directional Waysafe

Safe Passage Engineering Specialists

Disasters do not just happen on sunny days, when conditions are at their worst is when Waysafe comes into its own.

LGI has been manufacturing and supplying illuminated safety guideline to Emergency Services  and security organisations worldwide for over 20 years.

Following the success of the battery Waysafe, we were asked if it was possible to produce a Waysafe product with directional indication. One of the first applications was to indicate a safe walking route on the Railways. The users had the ability to change the direction of travel for those arriving and departing from the work site. The directional Waysafe offers many advantages over the standard Waysafe.

.

The Directional Waysafe offers the user the ability to give a visual indication of the direction of travel. The various controls allow the user to change the direction, increase the speed of direction and increase or decrease the illumination levels.


 

LGI’s-Directional-Waysafe-Illuminated-linear-Guidance-System.

Directional Waysafe Illuminated linear Guidance System has been designed for use when the direction of travel should be seen in low light or dark conditions either internally or externally. The Directional Waysafe gives the user the additional ability to control the direction of travel by adjusting the controls on the faceplate.
The Directional Waysafe illuminated cable is only 5mm in diameter. The cable emits a brilliant Blue/Green light along its entire length. This colour is highly visible at night and provides the safety and comfort factors inherent in a clear constant reference point.
Should the cable be cut whilst in operation, all that is still connected to the cable drum will stay alight., simply turn the Waysafe off and effect a field repair to get all the cable working again.
The Waysafe product range has been developed specifically to accommodate the requirements for both portable and plug-in power. There are Four standard illumination colours available, these are: – Blue/Green, Red, Lime Green, and Orange.

Directional-Waysafe-Illuminated-linear-Guidance-System is the most effective, cost-efficient, and visible way of marking safe walking routes and areas of danger.
This UK-designed and built product offers the flexibility you require to undertake your varying task.

Typical UK users include but are not limited to:

Fire & Rescue Services
USAR
Police Forces

Directional Waysafe

Marking a safe passage or an area of danger has always been an issue at night. Using single-point illumination devices is easy to apply but can be disruptive to the eye. Visual-spatial processing is an individual’s ability to process visual stimuli to comprehend spatial relationships between objects and visualize different scenarios or images. When having to travel across a field or an unknown area at night you are looking for recognisable signs of a safe route to travel.

Waysafe gives you the ability to clearly mark the safe direction to travel. Under normal working conditions, the safe route or passage would be easy to determine, at night that becomes a more complex task. If you then develop further the situation as in a collapsed structure or a confined space search at night, without considering the prevailing weather conditions, it is going to be difficult. But as we all know when conditions are at their worst that is when you probably going to be working on a complex search or recovery event.

This is when the Waysafe illuminated guideline comes into its own the Waysafe linear illuminated marking system has been designed for use in low light or dark applications either internally or externally It enables the user to clearly mark a safe route to travel or to mark a hazard.

The portable Waysafe system’s cable is only 5 mm in diameter. The cable emits a brilliant Blue/Green light along its entire length This colour is highly visible at night and provides the safety and comfort factors inherent in a clear constant reference point The product range has been developed specifically to accommodate the requirements for both portable and plug in power There are Four standard
illumination colours available, these are Blue/Green, Red, Lime Green and Orange.

For those who require the ability to increase the illumination distance the 100 m Waysafe gives you that
flexibility, however the illumination time is reduced to 7 hours This still gives you a  nights work from a single charge of the batteries.

For those customers that require the ability to have both a mains supply and the additional capability of a battery backup the we can offer to 110/240v battery Backup Waysafe to overcome this problem.
