Episode 233: How Connected PPE Is Changing Worker Safety
from OH&S SafetyPod Hosted by By David Kopf, Executive Editor and Group Publisher, Occupational Health & Safety
PPE has traditionally focused on protecting workers from hazards, but connected technologies are adding a new dimension: real-time information that can help safety professionals understand incidents, respond faster and make better-informed decisions. In this episode of the OH&S SafetyPod, Editor David Kopf talks with Dan Birch, Category Manager at PIP Global Safety, and Ani Surabhi, CEO and Founder of Quin, about the evolution of connected PPE and the growing role of data in workplace safety. The conversation explores Quin's connected safety ecosystem, including technology capable of detecting impacts, falls and other events; collecting information surrounding an incident; monitoring conditions such as temperature; and helping connect injured workers with assistance. Birch and Surabhi also discuss implementation, applications for lone workers, and where connected PPE could be headed next.
