YOUR EMPLOYEES WANT TO FEEL SAFER AT WORK. YOU WANT TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
INCIDENTS. THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS LOCATION TECHNOLOGY CAN HELP WITH BOTH,
ACCORDING TO ONE EXPERT.


RFID AND BLUETOOTH LOW ENERGY TECHNOLOGY CAN BE USED TO CONTROL ACCESS,
COORDINATE MOVEMENTS AROUND HEAVY MACHINERY AND HELP ENSURE COMMON TOOLS DON’T
BECOME HAZARDS – AND THAT’S JUST THE START.


by Therese Van Ryne
April 28, 2022

April 28 is recognized by the United Nations as the World Day for Safety and
Health at Work, but you and I know this is something we must prioritize every
day. There are regulatory requirements and legal liabilities, of course, but
also social, ethical and operational standards. It’s just best practice – and
good business – to put safety first. Plus, in this age of social media, people
are paying attention to workplace conditions and making decisions about where
they apply for jobs based on what they hear. Those taking measures to protect
employees’ well-being are being lauded while those who don’t are being publicly
scrutinized. 

So, I invited Mark Jolley, the EMEA Sales Director for Location Solutions at
Zebra Technologies, onto the latest episode of the Your Edge Podcast to talk
about technology’s role in workplace safety. Prior to this role, Mark served as
the Solutions Sales Team lead in EMEA focused on Manufacturing, Transportation
and Logistics. During this time, he worked with some of the region’s largest
post and parcel companies to implement location solutions with the goal of
improving workplace efficiency and safety, among other objectives. He is
well-versed on the best practices in this area and has some unique experiences
using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and real-time location
systems to help improve safety practices. 

I asked him to talk about how location technology specifically is used today to
support compliance with health and safety measures and how it could be used in
new ways to help reduce the risk of incidents. In our 20-minute discussion, we
cover quite a lot, including:


 * [1:47-3:37] Safety considerations in more industrial workplaces, including
   factories and warehouses. He calls out some of the biggest safety hazards
   today – not all of which may be so obvious.   

 * [3:37- 6:47] The many ways location technologies such as RFID or Bluetooth
   Low Energy solutions can be used to help identify the location of people and
   machines moving about facilities. Mark says this is actually one of the
   biggest use cases right now for location technologies in work sites ranging
   from factories, oil rigs, and nuclear facilities, to hospitals and
   traditional office buildings where it may be necessary to activate a quick
   incident response or find people in an emergency. He gives some very
   interesting real-life examples of the tech in action today. (*See what
   Gartner® says about it, too.) 

 * [6:49-9:09] The ways in which NFL player tracking compares to RFID-based
   track and trace applications in warehouses, factories and other industrial
   and field service environments. Mark discusses how the durability of RFID
   tags varies in these environments and the design of tags intended for
   environments with strict health and safety standards.

 * [9:09-14:28] The importance of tool tracking has in the context of worker
   safety – and, in some cases, customer/patient safety. For example, Mark
   explains how an RFID tag can be used to confirm a tool or machine operator is
   properly trained to use it – or to confirm proper tool sanitation after
   surgery. He also explains how other types of technology can be used to
   monitor employees who might be working alone at a job site or in proximity to
   machinery. 

 * [14:28-15:36] Ways to use technology for access control. This is increasingly
   important for both physical safety and privacy purposes. Areas can be
   restricted for all sorts of reasons.

 * [15:36-16:56] The way that technology is used to track and trace workers
   entering Hazardous Locations. The protocol when explosive materials are
   present will be more focused on access control, Mark notes.

 * [16:56-18:37] Why you shouldn’t invest in technology without considering if
   operational changes are also warranted, especially when workplace safety is a
   priority.
