For decades, workplace safety management has followed a frustratingly reactive pattern: wait for accidents to happen, implement fixes, and repeat. Innovative wearable technology is now breaking this cycle by capturing critical environmental and motion data that enables safety professionals to address hazards before injuries occur.
Gabriel Glynn, CEO and Founder of MākuSafe, talks with host Pete Miller, CEO of The Institutes, about how a conversation with his father, a safety manager who was frustrated with the reactive nature of his job, inspired him to create technology that helps safety professionals become proactive instead of reactive.
MākuSafe's wearable devices collect environmental and motion data in real-time, giving safety managers actionable insights to prevent accidents before they happen rather than simply responding after incidents occur. The conversation explores how MakuSafe's technology works, the impressive results their customers have achieved, and how the right organizational culture is crucial for successful implementation. Gabriel also provides fascinating real-world examples of how the data collected has helped companies identify unexpected workplace hazards and make simple but effective changes that dramatically improve safety outcomes.
