Safer Transportation Through Innovation
A Growing Problem:Highway Work Zone Crashes Highway Work Zone Incidents are Growing at an Alarming Rate
Incidents increased from 52,000 in 2006 to 88,000 in 2010
190 Incidents reported in Nebraska in 2013
Increasing number of Injuries to Vehicle Occupants
State and Federal Agencies are Seeking SolutionsStatistics: FHWA/NHTSA

SonoBlaster! Work Zone Intrusion Alarm
The SonoBlaster! can be mounted to numerous types of work zone barricades.
Safer Transportation Through Innovation
New Safety TechnologyThe SonoBlaster! overcomes objections found in prior intrusion alarms: Needs no electrical power that requires maintenance, recharging or go dead. Critical unit alignment not required as with beam or other type devices. No receiver unit required each unit operates independently. No false alarms from accidentally walking or driving through an invisible beam. SonoBlaster holds multiple U. S. Patents.

Work Zone Friendly
Vehicles & workers can pass between SonoBlaster Cones at slow speed without causing false alarms

SonoBlaster! Intra-Work Zone Use
Accidents Within a Work Zone involving workers injured by their own equipment is a growing problem: SonoBlasters define heavy-equipment work boundaries within a work zone separating workers from equipment. Audibly pinpoints the source of danger. Warns workers of vehicles backing into worker zones. Affords assistance that Back-Up Alarms fail to provide

Required Hearing ProtectionCaution:The SonoBlaster can produce sound in excess of 125 dB. Hearing protection meeting minimum NRR 33 must be worn while activating or handling an activated unit.
Safer Transportation Through Innovation
Deploying Multiple UnitsThe use of multiple SonoBlaster units in the same area is recommended to provide the maximum possible level of work zone safety protection.
Impacted SonoBlaster UnitsSonoBlaster units involved in any vehicle impact or crash are NOT TO BE REUSED for worker protection.Impacted and crash involved units must be destroyed and replaced with a new unit. CautionThe SonoBlaster can produce sound in excess of 125 dB. Hearing protection meeting minimum NRR 33 must be worn while activating or handling an activated unit.
Purchasers and users of this device shall each determine on their own, the fitness and suitability of this device for their particular use or application. Neither the seller, distributor, manufacturer, nor licensor of this device make any claim regarding its suitability or fitness for use in any particular application. SonoBlaster! Fitness for Use
