Key tech revolution worker privacy concerns and questions
Carina Santos, CEO, Logical Safety: Privacy concerns are at the tip of many peoples tongues at the moment. However, I don’ t expect resistance once the value of data driven safety systems are understood. You can personalize safety to the needs and limits of each worker — the individual variation in response to stressors. You can build a personalized risk profile for each worker ensuring they never exceed their physical limits.
Santos: Data monitoring is intended specifically for use in high-risk tasks such as work in confined spaces, work at height or in lone working situations where stress may affect safety performance. This limits the extent to which a would-be-Orwellian company can monitor its workers. Systems are designed to limit the personal insight a company can harvest on its workers, so that intimate details such as health conditions cannot be guessed from analysis.
