FAQs

The wearable sensors measure workers’ movements throughout the day during their shift. They are specifically looking for movements that could lead to strain that increases the risk of injury or long-term wear and tear.  

The wearable sensors are connected to a smartphone app and alert the worker when their movements surpass pre-established baselines that are based on International Organization for Standardization (ISO) thresholds and job task assessments.  

Data is collected and can be reviewed at the end of a shift by workers and safety teams. This data includes when during the day and where on the body strain occurred. 

The data is also useful in discovering which tasks are causing strain and which workers are experiencing the most strain. Bardavon will provide interventions, safety training courses, and exercises to improve employee movement health. 

No, our wearable sensors are unobtrusive. They are lightweight and worn on the back collar of a shirt, jacket, or coat and around the bicep of the dominant arm. Wearable sensors can be covered by outerwear in cold environments and open to the elements in hot environments. They are designed to stay out of a worker’s way as they go about their job tasks.

It’s up to each safety professional, but we recommend workers wear the wearable sensors for a full week every three to four weeks. 

Workers wear the sensors on a regular cadence established by their employer, for a full day’s shift for a week. It’s common for employers to have workers wear sensors for one week each month to see progress over time. Workers are able to review the data after each shift. 

The wearable sensors are important in helping workers reduce injury risk and changing movement behaviour, but incorporating a new feature into a routine is always a challenge. To help, we provide a worker engagement component to show that the purpose of the program is to support workers and reduce their risk of musculoskeletal injury. In this engagement training, workers will learn about the program from implementation to day-to-day use.

The purpose of the program is to reduce the musculoskeletal injury risk of the workers—not to look over their shoulders. Wearable sensors are designed to detect potentially risky movements that may put a strain on body parts.  

The wearable sensors identify when a worker has exceeded the acceptable International Organization for Standardization threshold for a task. The worker is then notified immediately through their phone app. Risky movements and moments of strain can also be reviewed at the end of a shift. The worker owns and controls the phone app. 

The wearable sensors do not track location or work pace. Since the wearable sensors only detect risky or straining movement, they can’t tell the difference between healthy movement and dormant activities like standing still or taking a break. As a part of product onboarding, workers are informed of what information the employer can and cannot access. 

Since habits are hard to break, we know that workers are likely to fall back into their old habits after the first time wearing the sensors. 

However, the wearable sensors are intended to inform workers about unsafe or straining movements that they may not realize they are doing. Increasing their awareness of movement health in their specific job tasks can help them maintain musculoskeletal health throughout their career.  

Wearable sensors are worn every three to four weeks to follow up on progress. The wearable sensors and app are designed to be engaging. Wearing the sensors cues the worker to perform tasks correctly. At the end of each shift, the app provides a daily medal (Gold, Silver, Bronze) for their day’s performance. Ideally, workers will see improvements each time they wear the sensors as they learn to improve their movement techniques.

The product has the ability to monitor any task that involves movement–not just lifting.  If you have jobs that have been determined to involve high-injury tasks, the product can be adapted to identify the risk. The program can monitor for overuse or repetitive movement that can increase injury risk overtime, even without heavy lifting. With the addition of the phone app and human coaching, your workers can learn preventative exercises to assist with reducing the injury risks related to those job tasks. 

As important as safety is, many employers and employees fall into routines that don’t prioritise it.  

Workers should know that safe movement health will help them stay healthy at work, but it also keeps them involved in the activities they enjoy at home for years to come.  

Employers should know that safety is an area where employee health and budget goals align. Prevention is the most cost-effective way to address musculoskeletal disorders.

It depends, but it could be significant. 

The exact ROI will depend on the types of injuries your workers might sustain, the number of injuries you see each year, and the amount of time workers might be out with an injury. Worker injuries are associated with direct and indirect costs that can add up.  

Direct costs include higher workers’ compensation premiums, third-party administrator costs, and other medical costs. There are many more indirect costs, which can include production downtime, replacement hires, potential OSHA penalties, damage to equipment, and more. 

A single injury could cost around $70,000 directly and $140,000 indirectly. Reducing just five injuries in a year could result in savings of more than a $1 million. That is many times more than the cost of our injury prevention product.

The OSHA 10-Hour course is a foundational workplace safety training program developed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. It is designed for entry-level workers and covers the most critical hazard recognition and prevention topics required in construction and general industry. Core topics include fall protection, electrical safety, personal protective equipment (PPE), struck-by and caught-in hazards, scaffolding safety, and workers' rights under OSHA. Completion results in a Department of Labor wallet card recognized by employers, general contractors, and project owners nationwide. Many construction contracts and state regulations now require all workers on a job site to hold a current OSHA 10 card. Diamond Safety & Training delivers OSHA 10 training in both English and Spanish, on-site at your facility or job site, anywhere in the United States. Call (888) 339-8118 to schedule your crew.

The OSHA 30-Hour course is an advanced workplace safety training program designed for supervisors, foremen, safety managers, and workers with safety responsibilities on the job site. It builds on the OSHA 10-Hour curriculum with significantly greater depth across all major hazard categories, plus additional modules on safety program management, OSHA inspection procedures, recordkeeping requirements under 29 CFR 1904, and employer responsibilities. Completion results in a Department of Labor OSHA 30 wallet card, which is required by many general contractors, project owners, and state regulations for supervisory personnel. The OSHA 30-Hour course is widely recognized as the standard credential for construction safety leadership. Diamond Safety & Training delivers OSHA 30 training in both English and Spanish, on-site at your facility, with flexible scheduling to minimize disruption to your operations.

Online OSHA training allows workers to complete coursework at their own pace from any device, making it convenient for individuals who need flexibility in their schedule. However, online training has limitations — it cannot replicate hands-on equipment demonstrations, job-site walkthroughs, or the interactive Q&A that comes with a live instructor. In-person OSHA training, delivered on-site at your facility by a certified instructor, is more effective for teams because it addresses the specific hazards present at your actual workplace, uses your real equipment as teaching examples, and allows workers to ask questions in real time. OSHA requires that training be conducted in a language workers understand, and in-person bilingual instruction is the most reliable way to meet that requirement. Diamond Safety & Training provides on-site, instructor-led OSHA training in both English and Spanish at your facility anywhere in the United States. Call (888) 339-8118 to schedule.

The cost of OSHA training varies depending on the type of course, the number of workers being trained, and whether training is delivered on-site or online. OSHA 10-Hour courses typically range from $150 to $300 per person for online delivery. On-site, instructor-led OSHA 10 training for a group is generally more cost-effective per person and has the added benefit of being tailored to your specific workplace. OSHA 30-Hour courses range from $300 to $600 per person online, with on-site group pricing available. For workplace safety assessments and equipment certification training, pricing depends on the size of the facility and the number of employees.

Yes — Diamond Safety & Training provides OSHA compliance audits and pre-inspection preparation for businesses that want to identify and correct violations before an OSHA inspector arrives. Our compliance audit process mirrors what an OSHA inspector looks for: we walk your entire facility or job site, review your written safety programs, inspect equipment and PPE, check recordkeeping under 29 CFR 1904, and verify that required training has been completed and documented. We then provide a written report that prioritizes every finding by severity and outlines the specific corrective actions required. For businesses that have already received an OSHA citation, we can assist with developing an abatement plan and documenting corrective actions for submission to OSHA. Proactive compliance audits are one of the most cost-effective investments a business can make — OSHA fines reach up to $16,131 per serious violation and $161,323 for willful or repeated violations. Call (888) 339-8118 to schedule your compliance audit.
