Modernising Health and Safety

Modern day Health and Safety November 23, 2017

Modernising health and safety The health and safety industry is viciously known to be laden with hard hats, safety boots and bright yellow reflective lines, a health and safety officer who walks around preaching the rules of using your cell phone in certain areas, wearing your hard hat - which hides your recently done hair, and those heavy safety boots that make your feet sweat. And need we mention the everyday compulsory safety meeting that is permanently engraved in your mind, heart and probably soul if we searched deep enough?

While we appreciate the health and safety officer’s job, and the role they play in ensuring that our workplace is safe and hazard free, our beautiful hair hidden and feet sweaty, are we not also allowed to think that perhaps there is another way for them to inform us about health and safety issues?

Living in a world that is dependent on technology, it is naturally easy for us to take instructions from an app or a screen, because you know, apps are cool and screens? way better than the health and safety officer’s intimidating presence that makes us sweat even more under our hard hats and heavy boots while we try to remember which safety rule we are violating while working in their presence.

That is where The Brothers Engineering Solutions come in. Our passion for engineering solutions that work for everyone led to the development of products that keep the health and safety officer out of your hair. With our visual management software technology, we make it easier for you, the employee to do your job and get your health and safety instructions and updates instantaneously at your convenience. How much more 21st century can it get?

We boast of three different products that make your life as an employee or health and safety officer easy, namely: Our visual safety management software, which communicates all health and safety issues and concerns to employees on the floor, informing them of safety zones, safety clothing and equipment requirements, temperature and much more. Our announcement and notification dashboard, that improves health and safety awareness for both internal and external stakeholders, and for the health and safety officer- we did not forget about you! The Qore SHEQ Device, which is a little sophisticated hand-held gadget. What it does is that it documents unsafe work conditions, unsafe practices and presents the findings in a report. This decreases the turnaround time on safety findings and ultimately reduces safety incidents by 70% in a year.

Now we can focus on you, the health and safety officer. With all these technological solutions we are offering you, do you still prefer doing things the traditional way, or are you now going to embrace technology and let it make your life easy? Just think about it, here is an opportunity to tell employees to put on their hard hats and hide their beautiful hair, to always wear their safety boots, and to use the equipment correctly without having to go up to them and putting on your intimidating face.

Health and safety is very important in the workplace, it does not only benefit the officer, but the employee too. Imagine the amount of money the company will save just from you living within the hard hat, sweaty boots and yellow lines for a few hours. But until you come to realise that having an accident because of neglecting health and safety requirements, or thinking that you have been doing this for years, and nothing has happened to you, let us remind you in a cool and modern way, because, you know, who would forget what they read on a screen?
