MakuSafe’s Tom West at Wisconsin Safety Conference
April 10, 2025
Catch MakuSafe’s Tom West who will be presenting at the Wisconsin Safety Council’s 83rd Annual Conference on “Data-Driven Safety: Wearable Tech And The Next Generation Of EHS Management“, Wednesday, April 16, 2025 from 11:15AM-12:15PM in the Africa 80 Room.
Workforce wearable smart technology can go beyond biometrics and fitness, tracking usable data that’s relevant to employee safety and focused on the environment around an employee and what they’re experiencing, rather than tracking the employee themselves. This leading indicator data includes things such as environmental (IH) hazards, slips/trips/falls, strain and exertion risk, ergonomic concerns, and voice reported good-catches, providing a more complete picture of workplace risk and elevating input from the front line worker. With this data, manufacturers, construction, logistics, food production, and industrial organizations globally are gaining real time insights, enabling proactive and preventative hazard remediation to ensure their workers safety. This session will provide an overview of how wearables can work, key considerations in selecting and deploying wearables, and a deep dive into numerous use cases across industries, where deployments of wearable safety tech over time have resulted in data that has contributed to quantifiable reductions in incidents, recordables, claims, and costs, while positively impacting safety culture and enabling process improvement.
Wisconsin Safety Council’s Annual Conference is Wisconsin’s premier event highlighting health, safety and human resource best practices, challenges and solutions. In its 83rd year, the conference provides a unique opportunity for professionals to share resources and experiences with colleagues, and to discuss views and concerns with a wide range of stakeholders. This program is designed by WSC’s conference committee members to address today’s most significant organizational challenges, and to assist individuals in achieving their professional and personal goals.
The event happens April 14-16, 2025 at Wisconsin Dells, registration and more information can be found here.
