Workers’ safety is one of the most critical aspects of a healthy work environment. Workers’ protection is strictly regulated in the United States by law. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, “The law requires employers to provide their employees with working conditions that are free of known dangers.”
Aside from the mandated workers’ protection, progressive companies go a step further to detect early signs of danger or health distress. Aside from implementing safety trainings, companies employ advanced technologies for preventive health diagnostics. For example, if workers are exposed to extreme heat, wearable devices that monitor core body temperature can send alerts both to the wearer and their supervisor before the body temperature becomes a serious health concern. This preventive measure can be used not only for occupations such as firefighters, but other environments that could involve explosions, or outside work in extreme heat.
While the existing technology can help a small number of workers in controlled environments, Cassia Networks Bluetooth gateways and its Access Controller data management system can scale up the application. Cassia’s X2000 Bluetooth IoT gateway is long-range and can operate both indoors and outdoors. Therefore, it is ideal for both a single-hub deployment such as a mine or a small workplace or for larger integrations within a large worksite that requires multiple-hub deployment. This technology offers a piece of mind for both the management and workers as it is secure and reliable while allowing for remote access and control. Most importantly, it doesn’t require extensive resources and can be integrated in any environment.
