Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) plays a critical role in ensuring the safety and well-being of any workers in high risk industries such as construction, mining, civil works, rail, and manufacturing. for PPE to work best, it must properly fit. Not only is ill fitting PPE redundant, it can actually expose a worker to further risk.

Construction sites present multiple safety hazards for workers and businesses. The high-risk environment is one of the most dangerous industries with much talk of 'the big four' - fall from height, struck by an object, trapped in a space, or electrocution. Safety focused business are deploying numerous strategies to improve site safety but human error, and the frailty of humans themselves, will always pose some sort of risk. That's why construction sites need nurse call systems on site. In case something goes wrong, you want to respond as quickly and efficiently as possible.
In today's rapidly evolving work landscape, ensuring the safety and well-being of employees has become more crucial than ever. Verkada, a leading provider of enterprise video security solutions, recently conducted a comprehensive workplace safety survey that sheds light on the challenges faced by frontline workers. The survey findings, which reflect the current state of workplace safety, have unveiled a workforce in crisis. Solutions like those offered by Vanguard Wireless can play a significant role in addressing these challenges.
Evacuation emergencies can happen at a workplace, regardless of how prepared and 'safe' the site is. Unforeseen incidents such as natural disasters, flooding, a environmental risk (such as summer temperatures), or a security breach that puts workers and visitors at risk, can require a full or partial site evacuation. Make sure you have the right system in place.
Every year 190 Australians working in the construction industry take their own lives; this means we lose a construction worker every second day to suicide. Construction workers are six times more likely to die from suicide than an accident at work. For our young workers, the facts are that they are well over two times more likely to take their own lives than other young Australian men.
Wearable technology, once a novelty in health and fitness sectors, is now revolutionising workplace safety. These devices, ranging from medical event triggers to health trackers to remote worker location identifiers, are now being employed to enhance safety measures and reduce serious incidents in various work environments.
