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?

October is National Safe Work Month, an annual initiative aimed at raising awareness about workplace health and safety. It provides an opportunity to share valuable resources and offer free training courses to safety managers. However, ensuring safety at work is a collective responsibility, and there are numerous ways in which a workplace can be made safer. Take a look at this list of 10 strategies that can significantly enhance safety standards. Do any of these strategies resonate with you? Are you currently utilising a robust emergency alert system on your premises in case of an emergency? When was the last time you reviewed and updated your emergency plan and procedures? If you're interested in learning more about how we can assist you in updating your emergency processes on-site, please don't hesitate to contact us.

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.

Construction is a high risk industry, where workers brave unpredictable weather conditions, work at great heights, and handle dangerous tools and machinery. They navigate constantly changing building sites, adapting to new layouts whether they're permanently on the project, or employed as a contractor or sub-contractor. In the event of a nurse call emergency on a construction site, it is crucial to have a straightforward and dependable method to alert others, establish clear communication channels with important event information, and coordinate a swift response.

Vanguard Wireless work with our partners to redefine the landscape of emergency communication and response at worksites across Australia, New Zealand, and the wider APAC region. Parkview and Mosaic are two innovative Australian builders who share our commitment to using cutting-edge technology to set an unprecedented safety standard across their sites.
