Abstract
Various embodiments of a voltage detection device and of related safety systems are provided. In various embodiments, the voltage detection device is configured to couple to safety headwear, such as via the one or more housing(s) of the voltage detection device coupling directly to the safety headwear or the voltage detection device coupling to an adaptor mounted to the hard hat.
Claims9
A safety system comprising:
- a first device comprising:
- a first housing comprising an opposing pair of protrusions extending towards each other, the protrusions configured to couple the first housing to a body of a safety headwear;
- a first detector coupled to the first housing, the first detector configured to generate a first signal in response to detecting nearby objects having currents with a high voltage;
- and
- a first controller coupled to the first housing and in electrical communications with the first detector, the first controller configured to emit a second signal in response to receiving the first signal from the first detector;
- and
- a second device comprising:
- a second housing configured to couple to a brim of the safety headwear;
- a second controller coupled to the second housing and in electrical communications with the first controller, the second controller configured to generate a third signal in response to receiving the second signal from the first controller;
- a notification device physically coupled to the second housing and in electrical communications with the second controller, the notification device configured to generate an alarm in response to the notification device receiving the third signal from the second controller;
- and
- an aperture and a protrusion extending into the aperture, the aperture and protrusion configured to collectively couple the second device to the brim of the safety headwear.
