Can technology truly revolutionize safety? Join Christian and Ronan Finnegan, co-founder of spacebands for a fascinating discussion on the evolving world of safety technology. Ronan dives into the innovative features of spacebands, offering valuable insights into the challenges of adoption and the critical role of human expertise in navigating this rapidly changing landscape.

Highlights:

- spacebands: A wearable safety device designed to track and alert employees in real-time to various hazards, with features covering loud noise, PPE compliance, unauthorised access, and more. - Privacy First: spacebands prioritises data privacy, working offline with no GPS or internet connectivity, focusing on user trust and empowerment. - Technology as an Aid: Ronan champions technology as a tool to assist safety professionals, not replace them. Human interaction, trust, and emotional intelligence remain vital. - Shifting Mindset: Safety professionals need to embrace a “what's in it for me?” approach when introducing new technologies, understanding the end-user’s needs and motivations. - Data Refinement: Data, like oil, needs refinement to become valuable. Reporting and analysis are critical to turning raw data into actionable insights. - Gamifying Safety Performance: spacebands aims to gamify safety performance through anonymised data, enabling benchmarking against industry standards and providing clear feedback on the effectiveness of safety initiatives. - Future Proofing: The future of safety tech holds immense potential for continuous development and innovation, enabling the integration of diverse hazard monitoring and data analysis. - Embracing Technology: The health and safety profession should embrace technology to streamline administrative tasks, free up time for impactful work, and enhance overall safety performance.
