Worker Safety? There’s An App For That!

Worker Safety? There’s An App For That!

I have always been fascinated by Apple products. Apple’s iPhone besides providing the “cool” touchscreen also lets developers create customized applications. Here are a few safety applications you may find useful:

  1. USW Safety App: Chemical Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and relevant health and safety information.
  2. NFPA 1600 App: Provides user access to NFPA 1600: Standard for Disaster/Emergency Management and Business Continuity Programs protects public safety with updated best practices for disaster/emergency management endorsed by DHS.
  3. Decibel App: Can be used to measure noise levels at workplace.

[editor note: these may or may not still be available after 10+ years]

If you know of any other iPhone apps that may be useful to the EHS community, do leave a comment below.

About Sanjeev Saraf

Reduce risks, Increase Uptime, Reduce costs

I did my first litigation support work in 2000.

Since then I have been obsessed with preventing future failures. Some of these failures can have catastrophic consequences.

Having tried various techniques, learning / unlearning “latest” paradigms, it is clear we have a long way to go!

But instead of thoughtful work, what I mostly see are platitudes and oversimplifications. No keen practical insights!

I want to change that.
