Prevent
Wearable Technology
Data-backed injury prevention, before an injury happens.
Musculoskeletal injuries account for over 50% of all serious workplace claims in Australia. Most are preventable — if the risk is caught before it becomes an injury.
Wearable sensors capture real movement data across selected workplace tasks, identifying unsafe postures, repetition and excessive load before they cause injury — giving your safety team objective evidence instead of guesswork.
What’s included
Sensors capture and analyse movement data across selected workplace tasks
A comprehensive report covering physical workload, task variability and injury risk factors
Risk profiles for each task, with actionable recommendations
Practical next steps to improve task safety, ergonomics and worker performance
How It Works
- We identify the priority tasks to monitor, based on injury trends and risk
- Workers wear lightweight sensors during their normal work — no change to how they do their job
- Movement data is captured and analysed across the selected tasks
- You receive a report with risk profiles and practical recommendations
Works well alongside Task Analysis — sensor data can validate or refine demand ratings over time, as roles and equipment change.
Why use wearable technology?
- Identify early risk factors: unsafe postures, repetition, or excessive loads — before injury develops
- Remove guesswork: objective, repeatable sensor data instead of subjective observation
- Improve ergonomics: smarter task design, equipment choices and training
- Empower safety and risk teams with data-backed evidence for decisions
- Strengthen a proactive, prevention-first safety culture
