04/10/23 8
Considerations
Advantages:• Provides real-time
data• Gives a macro-
level view of the state of safety
Limitations:• Data without
interpretation and action is useless
04/10/23 9
Sample Report
04/10/23 10
Considerations
Advantages:• Creates visual
representations of the process

accountability• Can be used by multiple users
and locations simultaneously
Limitations:• Proprietary software
04/10/23 15
Sample Reports

necessary to building and maintaining a data infrastructure
• Allows Trend Analysis• Can be used to
support TPM, 5S and other production, materials, or quality initiatives
Limitations:• Should not be
integrated into WOMS• Should not be used to
track injury data
04/10/23 23
Physical Security
• System for monitoring the workplace• Uses digital technology to activate
cameras in response to worker distress calls
• Uses RFID and similar technology to automatically detect workers who have fallen
04/10/23 24
Considerations
Advantages:• Allows for tracking worker
locations for quicker emergency response
• Verifies worker evacuation in emergency
• Allows workers to call for help if they are injured or attacked
• Allows injuries to be videotaped for unprecedented injury investigation
• Could be used for untainted behavior observations
• Improves emergency response time
Limitations:• May be resisted by workers as
intrusive of their privacy• Far less effective if used for
disciplinary purposes• Proprietary system• May require hardware
purchases
04/10/23 25
RFID tagging
• Installs low cost, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags on hazards, equipment, and vehicles
• Can be placed on the location where injuries occurred
• Can be used together to gather unobservable hazards
04/10/23 26
Considerations
Advantages:• Can be used to document
vehicle safety hazards (for example unsafe intersections)
• Allows for the creation of virtual area maps that can be used in hazard trend analysis and departmental risk assessment
• May be used in conjunction with HICCAT to automatically capture the location of a hazard
• Can be integrated into dashboards or scoreboards
Limitations:• Requires purchase of RFID
tags• May require additional
software
04/10/23 27
Professional Collaboration Platform
• Uses Wiki-style technology to allow multiple professionals to work on the same documents simultaneously
• Allows multiple authors• Encourages functional debate on
safety topics• Uses fuzzy logic and gooey interfaces
to make topic searches very easy
04/10/23 28
Considerations
Advantages:• Allows for the development
of a “tribal knowledge” for safety
• Allows other locations to critique incident investigation
• Allows for best practice sharing
• Makes it easy to find topics by key-word searches
• Creates an environment of collaborative safety improvements
• Can be used to quickly disseminate safety bulletins
• Can be used to create a tool-box talk library
Limitations:• Requires the purchase of
proprietary software• Use needs to be hardwired
into the location’s safety culture
04/10/23 29

Conclusion
• There is a real danger of a loss of momentum and motivation to maintain safety improvements when the consultants leave
• Technology is rapidly changing and emergent technology can greatly aid in sustaining culture change and safety improvement
• It’s often possible to use technology that you already own to sustain safety improvements
• Even the most dedicated leader needs tools to help sustain safety improvements
