The Weitz Company has always put safety at the forefront of projects. With Mission Critical and data centers becoming a bigger focus of efforts, MakuSafe was a great way to implement new technology and help protect workers. MakuSafe is a data analytics company located in West Des Moines, Iowa. They specialize in equipping workers with wearable safety devices that record data to help safety managers predict and correct potential hazardous issues on the job site.

With four different types of data collected, these small armbands collect environmental conditions, forceful motions, sound, and location information.

The devices have microphones, temperature, humidity and air pressure indicators, as well as TVOC and Co2 data collection. With an on board accelerometer, MakuSafe detects force in excesses of 2G's coupled with motion. Location services uses Bluetooth in conjunction with beacons placed around the jobsite to triangulate an employee to a defined work zone. Voice memos are able to be recorded by the wearer for up to 15 seconds each. All of the data is then transmitted to a computer or mobile device of choice.
