Two Minnesota-based companies partner to help safety professionals predict and prevent potential workplace hazards through the sharing of real-time data, insights and safety risk concerns from workers connected to intelligent safety gear and a cutting-edge Internet of Things (IoT) platform
As employers continue to spend billions of dollars annually on worker safety programs, injury rates over the past several years have remained stagnant. That statistical plateau has leaders in the safety industry tapping into another resource to take worker safety to the next level: the workers themselves.
The announced partnership between innovation-focused safety gear manufacturer Ergodyne and IoT safety platform developer Corvex Connected Safety aims to do just that by connecting smart Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to a platform focused on producing real-time data to and from workers relating to the key safety categories of PPE management, risk management, safety communications and worker engagement.
