Talk Description
Employees the world over and in a wide range of industries are exposed to unnecessary risks on a daily basis. They work with dangerous machinery and are in constant danger of losing fingers, arms, or even their lives.
We will tell the story of Thomas, Frank and Rolf and their special wristwatches. They are workers from different industries and face varying hazards within their workplaces. We will explain how their working environments can be made safer with modern technology.
Three parallel mechanisms for monitoring personal protection devices and levels of precision that were unimaginable just a few years ago are just two examples of recent developments. We will provide more examples that demonstrate excellence in workplace safety which has been achieved through a combination of technology, education and raising the level of awareness.
Today's machinery is more powerful, the plants are more complex, and the element of human error is ever present. These trends have a large impact on the risk scenarios that we face. Our presentation will highlight the developments that will be required to defend against these changing threats.
By introducing the first RFID-based personal protection system 20 years ago, the recycling industry in Europe made a big contribution to Vision Zero. It has become the de facto standard in most European countries. As illustrated by the examples that we provided, there is a fantastic opportunity, to replicate this progress in other industries and to protect many more employees worldwide.
