Overguard is a connected workforce safety platform for construction, utilities, and infrastructure. The Overguard S1 sensor pod clips to any standard EN 397 helmet in thirty seconds and streams safety, location, and environmental data to a cloud platform that detects events the moment they happen.
Construction is 5% of the UK workforce and 26% of fatal workplace injuries. The numbers in Australia and across infrastructure look similar. The gap between an event happening on a site and someone qualified arriving to help is measured in tens of minutes. Most of those minutes are spent locating the worker.
That gap is what Overguard exists to close. The S1 detects the event in under three seconds. Site managers see the alert before the worker has finished falling.
We design for the workers wearing the S1, not just the safety teams reading the dashboard. The S1 is comfortable, light, and visibly different from a productivity tracker.
Our platform is live and in active development. Some features are deployed to design partners. Some are on the roadmap. We say which is which on every page. We never claim a customer we don’t have.
Construction, utilities, and infrastructure run on standards that took decades to harden. We meet those standards — EN 397, ATEX, IP67, IECEx — before we ask anyone to wear our hardware.
Per-worker, per-month, hardware in the box. No capex, no procurement cycle, no shelf-ware. If you stop using it, the hardware comes back to us.
The S1 captures more than alerts. Every shift, the platform sees the patterns of risk on your sites — temporal anomalies, compound indicators, environmental forecasts, precursor sequences. Overguard AI surfaces those patterns as recommended actions a safety lead can take before an alert ever fires.
Overguard was founded in 2026 to build the safety platform construction, utilities, and infrastructure should already have. The team brings deep experience in industrial hardware, safety operations, and platform engineering. We are based in London with active operations in Western Australia and Queensland.
