When we talk about a “connected worker”, we are talking about a connected, digital, safety solution that integrates smart, wearable sensors with a cloud-based software platform. It represents a new era of safety for workers.

  • What we are talking about here is the critical importance of the human element. If a worker is properly educated and trained, safety improvements can be expected.

  • Leveraging digitalisation for the sake of it, however, is not the answer. There should be clear health, safety and productivity benefits to implementing digital technology.

  • Organisations need to feel confident that their systems can be fully secured when considering investments in connected digital technologies.

  • As the industry continues to evolve and digitisation becomes more widespread, the way we provide safety solutions is changing, too. Providing safety as a service, rather than products, is increasingly gaining traction
