How is the voice memo feature utilized in a proactive safety management system?
January 9, 2021
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
