The thing about wearables is they must be worn. 

The most important aspect of choosing to invest in an initiative like wearable technology is recognizing that it is reliant upon workers actually engaging in the program. To encourage this, safety teams must know how to communicate the valuable aspects of the feedback provided by the wearables, the types of feedback, how it works, and the neuroscience behind the behavioural change. The benefits are often lost due to a lack of understanding leading to worker complacency, non-compliance, and disengaged workers resulting in an unsuccessful initiative and financial loss.

The haptic biofeedback is largely responsible for the success of increased awareness and
behavioural change. The result is heightened engagement, leading to proactive injury
prevention with workers taking control of their own safety.

Have you ever been told you are doing something but never knew you were doing it? For
example, a friend says, “Do you know your shoulders elevate every time you talk about something you’re passionate about?”

Now this doesn‚Äôt create a safety concern immediately, but what if you were doing something you were not aware of and the resultant damage was causing harm to your body over a period of time? Would you want to be told and, how many times would it take before you stopped elevating your shoulders each time you were speaking excitedly? We have the answers! 

This session will be interactive, demonstrating the neuroscience behind the behavioural change, introduce new understandings around biofeedback and worker awareness, and how this empowers manual workers to be better at what they do.

Come and join us to learn a little about your own movement behaviour and how you can better manage it.
