💻 Monitoring vs. Tracking 📍 In the evolving landscape of workplace safety and employee well-being, wearable technology, such as smartwatches, plays a pivotal role. These devices are being utilized for both monitoring and location tracking, each serving a distinct purpose, while collectively enhancing personal safety and well-being. Employers and employees need to understand the differences between these two functions to appreciate their benefits and build trust. Monitoring for Well-being: 💖 >Keeping tabs on vital signs (like heart rate) and alerting to potential issues before they become serious situations. Location Tracking for Safety: 🆘 >Essential to locate and assist employees in emergencies or unsafe areas quickly. my-eforce has developed patent-pending features that are customizable, ensuring trust, privacy, and reliability while delivering new insights and analytics. #safetytechnology #proactivehealth #realtimemonitoring #albertatech

How can wearable technology improve worksite safety? Managing assets across different worksites and keeping remote teams safe and productive can be difficult. Connecting worksites with wearable, connected technology gives safety managers visibility into:  ✔Teams and assets, including worker position and activities and which devices require maintenance  ✔External and environmental factors, such as temperature or humidity  ✔Equipment status, maintenance, and asset management information across all worksite locations  ✔Centralised reports and data logs for automated compliance  ✔Intelligent mapping and zone segmentation, automated digital follow-ups, alarm sharing, and heatmapping to help drive operation-wide safety Find out more here: https://ow.ly/2KN450P9m8c #gasdetection #gasdetectors

Insightful read on the pros and cons of Exoskeletons to reduce musculoskeletal injuries.. “ Exoskeletons are heavily promoted as an opportunity to prevent MSDs, but their benefit is not scientifically proven (Lechner, 2022). The potential impact of using exoskeletons is both positive and negative. They can promote stress reduction, compensate for declining abilities and optimise the work process. They offer the chance to reduce physical stress on the body and enable changes in movement execution. Exoskeletons are customisable and offer local flexibility, and while exoskeletons can enhance safety in various applications, it's essential to note that their effectiveness depends on factors such as design quality, user training, routine maintenance and adherence to safety protocols. Yet, using exoskeletons can cause muscles to weaken and waste away (muscle atrophy), and the force diversion can result in physical stress influence. They can also pose a risk in emergency situations such as evacuations or the quick removal of protective gear, where workers need to act quickly; for example, with evacuations for fire or gas leakages. In these emergency situations, response times are crucial and any delays or complications in disengaging the exoskeleton could pose risks to workers. “ #InAWorldOfRisksBeTheSolution #PassOSHBillGhana #Activate2028 #IOSHPresidentialTeamByMembersForMembers Stuart Hughes Lawrence Webb IOSH Immediate Past President Kelly Nicoll CFIOSH Michelle Stonley CMIOSH SIIRSM Richard Bate - Vice President IOSH, CMIOSH, FIIRSM
