More recently developed systems that utilise newer technology use Ultrasonic sensors, Electromagnetic sensors or Radar. These newer systems can provide enhanced \u201cprevention capability\u201d including increased protection zone area, and object approach speed reduction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p>One of the most important features of \u201csecondary guarding\u201d is its ability to bring awareness to those at ground level that something has gone wrong in the air. This is frequently a significant contributor to more serious incident outcomes with entrapment\u2026. The delayed response to an emergency. Secondary guarding raises the alarm via a horn, or siren, and frequently a flashing light to bring awareness to persons on the ground. and permitting the \u201cemergency and rescue plan\u201d to be deployed early on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p><strong>KEY TAKEAWAY<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; No system is foolproof and good planning and competent operators are key to prevention.
