"Exploration is the engine that drives innovation. Innovation drives economic growth. So let's all go exploring." Edith Widder In the ever-evolving world of technology and innovation, safety has always been a top priority. Each year, we see new advancements that take safety to new heights, and 2023 is no exception. From cutting-edge developments in transportation to breakthroughs in workplace safety and health, this year has brought us an array of safety innovations that promise to make our lives safer and more secure than ever before.

The rapid evolution of technology has transformed numerous aspects of our lives, and workplace safety is no exception. Emergency evacuation and nurse call systems are traditionally hard wired, but Vanguard Wireless utilise a range of technologies to ensure the devices that form part of the system communicate wirelessly. How and why do we do this?

In an emergency, every second counts. A modern, efficient evacuation and/or nurse call system can mean the difference between life and death. But a system is only as good as its functionality in real-time crisis situations. This is why regular checks and testing of your emergency evacuation and/or nurse call system are crucial. These systems are designed to provide immediate assistance and direction during an emergency, and ensuring they work as intended is a paramount safety measure. You never want someone in an emergency to be in a 'press & guess' situation, where they press a button guessing that it's working and will perform as intended.

In the modern business ecosystem, a robust workplace safety program is no longer a mere regulatory requirement but a fundamental cornerstone in optimising a company's bottom line. Many businesses tend to overlook the economic benefits that a well-structured safety program can bring, often viewing it as an obligatory expense rather than an investment. This perspective, however, needs a revision. In fact, implementing a proactive safety program can contribute to improved productivity, employee satisfaction, and substantial financial savings.

Vanguard Wireless evacuation and nurse call systems are entrusted by Multiplex, as we tailor each system to each unique site, ensuring an unparalleled, powerful solution. We work with Multiplex's electrical engineering teams to design and install the best system configuration for the site to ensure 100% coverage for emergency alert creation and worker notification.

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.
