SlateSafety Unveils the BEACON V3: Next-Gen Worker Exposure Monitoring for Industrial Sites

ATLANTA, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SlateSafety (slatesafety.com) announces today the launch of the BEACON V3, a multi-sensor, connected device designed to deliver real-time, hyperlocal worker exposure monitoring at scale. Built for the most demanding work environments, the BEACON V3 operates entirely independent of personal phones or complex IT infrastructure, providing frictionless, economical environmental monitoring for modern workforces.

Deploy the BEACON V3 at your site now. Worn by personnel or mounted, the BEACON V3 equips organizations with a comprehensive suite of safety features designed to mitigate key occupational hazards, from extreme heat and dangerous noise levels to lone worker emergencies.

"Worker safety isn't one-dimensional, and neither are the environments they work in," says SlateSafety CEO and Cofounder Zack Braun. "By combining thermal monitoring, noise monitoring, and lone worker protections into a single, highly connected device, the BEACON V3 provides a unified picture of safety. It ensures that no matter the hazard or the location, safety leaders have the visibility they need to keep their teams out of harm's way."

Thermal Monitoring: The BEACON V3 provides real-time, hyperlocal data to protect workers from heat stress and adverse conditions. Key measurements include:

• Air Temperature and Relative Humidity
• Air Pressure and Dew Point
• Heat Index, Humidex, and estimated Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (eWBGT)

Noise Monitoring: To safeguard against long-term hearing damage, the device features robust noise tracking that calculates immediate and projected exposure:

• Sound Pressure Level
• Configurable weightings (A, C, or Z) and response times (Fast or Slow)
• Leq, Dose, and Projected Dose
• Time Weighted Average (TWA) and Projected TWA

Lone Worker Protection: Ensuring that isolated personnel are never alone, the BEACON V3 can deliver critical safety and location metrics:

• GPS Outdoors and Coarse Location Indoors
• Immediate SOS/Panic Button capabilities
• Automated Impact and Fall Detection
• No Movement Alerts for incapacitated workers

Designed for easy deployment with minimal operational interruption, the BEACON V3 connects via BLE, WiFi, and Cellular networks, featuring configurable transmission rates and alert thresholds. The BEACON V3 also seamlessly integrates with SlateSafety's BAND V2 physiological monitor, providing personal and environmental exposure levels across a unified ecosystem.

SlateSafety (slatesafety.com) is an Atlanta-based technology company on a mission to bring reliable, rugged, and easy-to-use safety solutions to heavy industrial applications. By putting the worker at the center of safety, its sensors provide real-time data that allows organizations to intervene before incidents occur. Originally founded to support first responders, SlateSafety now protects teams operating in extreme environments against heat stress, noise, lone-worker risks, and other hazardous conditions.
