THE SAFETY COMPASS

Around the globe a worker dies every fifteen seconds. In 2015 193 Australian workers in industries ranging from mining to health care got up in the morning, went to work, and did not return home to their families. The Safety Compass is a work health & safety risk management tool designed to help Australians assess, manage or avoid dangers in their workplace and bring Australian workers home. The Safety Compass uses intuitive augmented reality to communicate hazard information to user... s in the field. By accessing the worker's physical location, the app presents vital information on present dangers straight to the worker's phone, avoiding the necessity of bulky safety manuals to locate and manage risk. Using the phone's inbuilt camera and GPS system, the app displays real and present dangers to the viewer that adapt and compensate for the viewer's field of vision.More
