Occupational safety is the discipline that, within the Prevention of Occupational Risks, is responsible for the application of the necessary measures for the prevention of risks that may arise from work.
In other words, it is the set of techniques and procedures whose result is to eliminate or reduce as much as possible any type of risk that may cause accidents at work.
In order to fight against accidents at work, it is necessary to take into account the main cause of accidents: “the human factor”. Therefore, the main tools to prevent them are training, information and work procedures that can be applied to minimise the risk of workers suffering accidents.
Digital Occupational Safety
In relation to the work procedures that can be applied to combat accidents at work, digitalisation plays a very important role, as in any sector.
For example, the monitoring of variables and the configuration of alerts, which are activated in the event of an incident, emergency or evacuation via devices, guarantee the safety of employees. Prior to this, it is necessary for technicians or specialists in occupational risk prevention to be able to identify, evaluate and control the hazards or risks associated with the work activity.
Biometric data monitoring and wearables
Biometric data monitoring and alert configuration increase employee security. Nowadays, digitisation allows the monitoring of employees (100% anonymously if desired) through wearable devices that detect: fall, dead man, pulse rate or personal sensors, among others.
These external sensor alerts make it possible to guarantee safe working conditions and to set up emergency-evacuation alarms that can be configured for all active employees.
