How is the voice memo feature utilized in a proactive safety management system?

To leave a voice memo, a worker will simply press and hold the button on the core device for approximately 3 seconds until it flashes. Then continue to press the button while recording a 15-second message. Once the worker is done recording the message he/she/they simply let go of the button and return to work. The MākuSafe® system will deliver and transcribe the message to the MākuSmart® dashboard for the safety manager to address.

Workers frequently use the voice memo to report observations and near-misses, for example:

• Pallets are stacked precariously and pose a danger to those in the walkway
• A first-aid station needs to be restocked
• A loading dock is slippery and needs attention before someone gets hurt
• A coworker is experiencing symptoms of food poisoning and needs medical attention
• An exit is partially blocked
• A machine is shorting out
