24-Hour Crush Injury Prevention at the People-Plant Interface.

fhoss safety crossing system

At a glance — how FHOSS prevents workplace crush injuries

  • Detects people near moving plant and vehicles using AI pedestrian detection
  • Creates automated exclusion zones and improves pedestrian segregation
  • Controls crossings and access using mag-lock safety gates, alerts, and signage
  • Produces cloud-based safety reporting, including incident logs, near-miss reports, and compliance records

The people-plant interface is where pedestrians and moving vehicles such as forklifts, HGVs, telehandlers, excavators, dumpers, cranes, and pallet trucks operate in the same space. This is where many workplace crush injuries, blind-spot incidents, reversing accidents, and near-misses happen.

FHOSS delivers workplace pedestrian safety systems designed to detect, separate, control, and report risk 24/7 across construction sites, warehouses, manufacturing plants, and logistics hubs.

Crush Injury Risks at the People-Plant Interface

A crush injury is a serious workplace injury that happens when a person is trapped, pinned, or struck between a moving vehicle, plant equipment, or a fixed object.

Common causes include:

  • Reversing vehicles with blind spots
  • Plant working close to pedestrian routes
  • Pinch points near racking, walls, and barriers
  • Turning circles and tight maneuvering zones
  • Loading bay movements and yard traffic
  • Poorly controlled crossing points

High-risk zones often include:

  • Loading bays
  • Warehouse racking aisles
  • Yard traffic routes
  • Vehicle turning circles
  • Reversing zones
  • Pedestrian walkways
  • Crossing points
  • Site entrances

These risks increase when there is weak pedestrian-vehicle separation, unclear traffic routes, and limited near-miss monitoring.

What We Do

FHOSS is committed to eliminating workplace crush injuries and fatalities by providing advanced health and safety solutions. We help businesses improve workplace safety compliance, reduce the risk of pedestrian-vehicle collisions, and enhance overall site safety management.

Our technology integrates:

  • Human-form detection
  • AI-driven pedestrian control
  • Risk assessment tools
  • Cloud-based safety reporting

This ensures continuous protection in high-risk environments such as construction sites, warehouses, manufacturing plants, and logistics hubs.

The FHOSS Field Pedestrian Detection Zone improves workplace hazard detection by identifying human silhouettes in real time and creating automated exclusion zones to protect workers from moving vehicles and heavy machinery.

The FHOSS Safety Crossing system provides enhanced pedestrian control using mag-lock safety gates, audible alerts, and visual warnings to prevent dangerous interactions between people and vehicles.

These solutions help businesses exceed HSE compliance requirements and support a proactive approach to occupational safety improvement.

Our technology is built to prevent workplace accidents before they happen, protecting employees, contractors, and site visitors against crushing hazards. With FHOSS, businesses gain more than compliance — they gain confidence in a safer, more efficient, and legally compliant workplace.

Our Bespoke Risk Treatments

Designed with your workforce in mind, our patent-pending Smart Crossing system allows us to bridge the gap between people and plant.

The FHOSS Field Pedestrian Dectection Zone combines next-generation exclusion zone technology with advanced AI detection algorithms, to create a full coverage 24 hour pedestrian safety system.

The FHOSS Cycle Lane system has been developed to help provide additional awareness for Vulnerable Road Users, in this case cyclists, when commercial vehicles are turning left.

Our FhossHalo Exclusion® system allows workers, site visitors and the public to clearly identify danger areas around plant, vehicles and other high-risk environments.

Whether you want to light up your company name or keep your workforce safe with important information or signage, FHOSS CAST Intelligent Projection is the way forward.

Mitigate risk with our patented, custom-designed, visually striking illuminated and reflective vehicle graphics.

FHOSS High-Level Line Lights use bright, coloured LEDs to mark out clear safety zones around vehicles and equipment. Designed for high visibility in tough environments, they help prevent accidents by making hazards easier to see.

How we do it

FHOSS uses AI-powered safety technology and intelligent automation to prevent workplace accidents before they happen. Our solutions instantly identify hazards and help reduce blind spots, near-miss incidents, and unsafe pedestrian movement in high-risk environments.

By detecting dangers in real time, our systems make risk management proactive rather than reactive. Through exclusion zones, pedestrian crossings, and vehicle interaction control, we reduce the likelihood of pedestrian-vehicle accidents and provide continuous protection 24/7.

We support safety in places like:

Forklift routes and warehouse aisles

Turning circles and reversing zones

Pedestrian walkways and crossing points

Loading bays and yard traffic routes

A safer workplace also reduces downtime, financial losses, compliance penalties, and reputational damage. It can support lower insurance costs, improve workforce confidence, and increase staff retention.

By integrating intelligent barriers, pedestrian segregation systems, and cloud-based safety analytics, FHOSS protects lives while also improving site efficiency.

We continue to innovate in workplace safety, developing scalable solutions that evolve with industry needs. FHOSS supports compliance with UK health and safety laws, ISO 45001 standards, and best practices through digital safety reporting and audit-ready evidence.

Safety isn’t just about meeting regulations — it’s about building a smarter, more secure workplace today and for the future.
