San Diego CA -- Personnel tracking technology is one of the fascinating research and development progressions on display at the National Safety Congress and Expo being held here in hot and humid (unbelievably) San Diego. For two weeks temperatures in the San Diego area have hovered between 90 to 100 degrees, sending many residents in search of air conditioners, and having attendees walking to the convention center work up a good sweat.
Back to personnel tracking…employers have always wanted to control access to their facilities. Now technology can scan any employee’s security/ID card and keep track of their whereabouts. One vendor of this technology told ISHN, “I am convinced this is going to get people fired because employers will be able to know who’s goofing off and who’s productive.”
