Technology is pushing the safety industry to new heights. From transportation to manufacturing, interconnected mobile apps and Wi-Fi-enabled software programs have made it easier to share, record, and analyze important safety information. These small devices are powering the world in all sorts of ways. Discover just how far this technology has come in recent years.
Keeping customers and workers safe is all about having the right information. Safety managers need to collect data on their operations to make sure certain areas are safe for human occupancy. They also need to monitor the tools they use to monitor the workspace to make sure they are working properly. Before digital apps and software programs, many facilities used to monitor their surroundings using safety inspection sheets, which would then get logged away in a file cabinet. However, records can easily go missing, and analyzing all this data manually can be time-consuming.
