Hardware and Web Application for Making Workplace Safer.
Worknosis helps industries to be in compliance with recommended guidelines for physical activity and heat stress by Occupational Health and Safety Organizations. Worknosis efficiently estimates metabolic energy expenditure and determines the possibility of physical fatigue and heat stress by using state of the art wearable sensors, long range wireless monitors and anthropometric variables such as age, weight and gender. This patent pending invention would help industries to change the way in which risk assessment is estimated. Presently, safety experts roughly estimate energy expenditure by making wild guesses on the difficulty of tasks, and combine this with the environmental variable like temperature and humidity, in order to calculate the work-rest schedule to avoid heat stress.
We Help Safety Experts
As average age of workers in North America is increasing, there is concern about physical capabilites of workers to safely excute a job without fatigue. If workers refuse to work due to excessive fatigue in a particular job, Worknosis with its patent pending technology of wearable sensors can help you in evaluating the job so that you can assign optimum work to the workers. This would promote more safe and efficient work environment in your company. The capability of a worker to perform a job would be evaluated based on recommendations of Ministry of Labour so you can be pretty confident whenever you need to defend work refusal cases.
Heat Stress Alert
In hot summer days, companies provide heat relief to workers based on ambient temperature and intensity of work. However, since the temperature is site specific your heat relief management team has to physically go from one site to another at your shop-floor to note down the heat index every hour and provide appropriate heat relief. This inefficient process can now be eliminated by using Worknosis and sensors readily available from the market. Your heat stress team can now do more work in the same time and you company can save thousands of dollars.
Eliminate Fatigue in Design Phase
While our application provides the functionalities for the evaluation of fatigue in jobs, it is a great tool to utilize during design of jobs as it allows you to check the percentage of people capable of doing the job. You can add thousands of profiles of employees who would be working in shop floor and can evaluate the capability of those employees with respect to the job. In addition, Worknosis offers more than nine hundred elements along with regular manual material handling elements to create more realistic jobs for metabolic energy consumption evaluations.
Functionalities
Incredible Features
Validate New Jobs Before Implementing
Worknosis can be used to control fatigue pro-actively. Once the jobs are implemented in shop-floor, it may be found that the majority of workers hate that job because it might be too “tiring”. Well now with Worknosis you can modify the jobs at design stage itself to make it fit for your employees.
Ensure Metabolic Energy Expenditure is Within Limits
Safety Organization such as Ministry of Labour in Canada and OSHA in USA recommends maximum metabolic energy expenditure for workers. Worknosis helps you to calculate the metabolic energy spent by your workers in very efficient way thereby reducing the chance to fatigue or injury to the workers.
Easily Switch Units & Change Settings
With Worknosis you can easily switch between Imperical & Metric Units and change other settings such as timezone & notifications. The setting can be change at any time and all the parameters for the task elements would be in the units you would like.
