Problem
Workers in high-risk environments often miss early warning signs of heat stress and overexertion, leading to injuries, reduced productivity, and increased costs for organizations. Supervisors lack real-time visibility into worker physiological data, making it difficult to proactively manage safety and optimize work/rest cycles.
Solution
SlateSafety provides a wearable physiological monitoring platform that delivers real-time safety alerts and automated work/rest cycles to prevent heat-related illnesses and overexertion. The system utilizes a rugged armband (BAND V2) to continuously monitor worker biometrics, including heart rate, core body temperature, and exertion levels. Data is securely processed and stored in the cloud, with integrations available via API. Safety leaders can access real-time dashboards, configure alert thresholds, and receive analytics through a web portal or mobile app (SlateSafety Go), enabling proactive intervention and data-driven policy changes. The BEACON V2 environmental monitor can be added to the system to track ambient temperature, estimated WBGT, and heat index.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes safety managers, industrial hygienists, and organizations in industries such as construction, manufacturing, utilities, and emergency services, who need to monitor worker safety and prevent heat-related illnesses and overexertion.
