Improving Safety for Service Workers
According to the International Labor Organization, every 15 seconds, 151 workers have a workrelated accident. The global number of non-fatal occupational accidents reaches a staggering number of 317 million, annually. Even more concerning, 321,000 people die each year from occupational accidents. Work accidents remain a huge challenge for many service industry sectors, despite safety regulations and procedures. evolution.
Even a non-fatal injury can have a potentially devastating effect on an employee’s health and livelihood. For employers, in addition to the distress of an employee suffering from injury, work accidents affect productivity, and companies can suffer significant financial losses. In the United States alone, workplace injuries and illnesses cost employers more than $220 billion annually, with 27 million working days lost per year. These rising costs are also hurting insurance companies and influencing coverage rates.*
The good news is that advances in the Internet of Things (IoT) is giving rise to the connected worker – a worker who is more aware of, and sensed by their environment, is inherently safer. Wearable and embedded sensors are making it possible for workers to be monitored within their surroundings to prevent injury from incidents such as gas exposure, heat stress, falls, overexertion and fatigue. When coupled together with innovative cognitive capabilities and external data sources like environment and weather, we see enormous potential for better managing health, wellness and safety to truly help transform the way we live and work today – and Nation Safety Net is at the forefront of this technology evolution.
Safety Apps and Dashboards
The Nation Safety Net offers mobile applications for workers, supervisors and safety management to keep them informed and safe through active monitoring and cognitive analytics that offer solutions to hazardous patterns. Supervisors and safety management can also analyze data via online dashboards to make workers and the worksite safer.
Predictive Protection
The Nation Safety Net analyzes biometric, gate and environmental data in real-time to warn workers of unsafe conditions and possible impending accidents or injuries. Teams are sent location specific wind, rain, temperature and other alerts. The system also provides monitoring and predictive responses for…
- Gas Exposure
- Heat and Cold Stress
- Slip and Falls
- Fatigue
- Man Down
- Overexertion
- Fit to Drive
- Panic Button
- Weather Conditions
- Location Tracking
- Proximity Alerts
- Danger / Drop Zones
- Equipment Off
- Vibration Exposure
- Dust Exposure
- Chemical Exposure
Proven Safety Results
When coupled together with innovative cognitive capabilities and external data sources like environment and weather, organizations are able transform their safety programs and increase the safety and accountability of their employees. Organizations have reported the following statistics after deploying a safety system powered by IBM Watson IoT.
- An Oil and Gas Company was able to reduce their injury rate by 86% related to Fatigue and Falls by drawing cognitive conclusions and warning the workers of impending hazards
- Workers in a warehouse with high exposure to forklift accidents received over 27 proximity alerts in six weeks which resulted in a 100% reduction in injuries
- Workers at a Steel Manufacturer with a high rate ofHeat Stress injuries avoided over 40 incidents over a nine month period which resulted in 0 injuries
- A city street where workers and pedestrians had experienced injuries and death added aDanger Zone warning system which resulted in a significant reduction of incidents and 0 deaths over the same period studied the previous year
