WASHINGTON, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Despite increased efforts to reduce serious incidents and fatalities, or SIFs, in the workplace over the last few decades, the percentage of worker deaths has only fallen by about 15%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Recognizing the severity of this issue, the National Safety Council launched the Work to Zero initiative in 2019, with funding from the McElhattan Foundation, to help reverse this devastating trend through the use of technology. Today, the NSC Work to Zero initiative released a new white paper, Advancing Workplace Safety with Location Geofencing, to shed light on the transformative potential of this technology and how it can significantly reduce the risk of SIFs in various industries.

Key Points: 
  • Recognizing the severity of this issue, the National Safety Council launched the Work to Zero initiative in 2019, with funding from the McElhattan Foundation, to help reverse this devastating trend through the use of technology.
  • While the report examines the benefits of location geofencing, additional research is needed to fully understand its effectiveness across many situations in the workplace.
  • Funded by the McElhattan Foundation , the Work to Zero initiative aims to eliminate workplace fatalities through the use of technology.
