SOBEREYE Brings New Tech to Workplace Testing for Impairment from Fatigue, Drugs, Alcohol and other Causes
Menlo Park, California Feb 1, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - This one-minute self-test saves lives - SOBEREYE brings new technology to workplace testing for impairment from fatigue, drugs, alcohol, and other causes, with real-time testing and results.
Successfully implemented in mining, construction, transportation, and industrial companies around the world, SOBEREYE's impairment monitoring platform saves lives by preventing workplace accidents. It's a non-invasive safety tool, easy to use, with rapid results. It provides safety management officers with an objective measurement tool that helps their employees do the right thing without force or coercion from management.
Workplace operators check themselves with SOBEREYE's mobile device. The SOBEREYE platform recognizes that workplace safety is a shared interest and that successful safety initiatives require collaboration. With SOBEREYE, users learn about their impairment risk every time they test and adjust behaviors to stay safe on the job.
SOBEREYE is the best way to determine if one of your workers has any impairment ahead of their workday. They simply use the mobile testing device held up to their eyes before beginning work. The SOBEREYE system, in one minute, lets them know if they have any impairment risk that might jeopardize their safety or the safety of those they work with each day.
"Using SOBEREYE regularly enables workers to be safer at work as well as more productive," said Antonio Visconti, the founder, and CEO of SOBEREYE. "Our cost-effective SOBEREYE system provides workers with a proven tool to determine if they are impaired, potentially saving their lives and the lives of other workers. It's a preventative measure that relies on them to make the right call by giving them the right tool to do that one job - staying safe."
Previously, the traditional ways to address issues related to fatigue, alcohol, drugs involved different methods for each issue as well as different technologies. SOBEREYE does all three at once in a one-minute self-test.
"We found a way to provide a safe, practical, and cost-effective way to check for impairment risk," Visconti stated. "The results of the SOBEREYE test are immediate, providing real-time feedback to the employees taking the test. This helps them to recognize when they are at risk of being impaired and learn to adjust their behavior to prevent that from happening. We also created SOBEREYE as a mobile platform with a cloud-based data system that enables the analysis of the results and see trends and patterns that may impact workplace safety."
"What got me interested in detecting workplace impairment was when I realized that the marijuana legalization trend in the United States and elsewhere was clearly challenging the way businesses approached the issue of workplace drug use," Visconti said. "I began investigating the use of mobile phone technology to make accurate and objective Pupillary Light Reflex measurements to detect impairment, and in that process, the SOBEREYE system was developed in collaboration with experts in neuroscience, ophthalmology, image processing, and iris recognition. We are now able to provide an innovative solution to detect the risk of impairment on the job regardless of what may be causing it, fatigue, alcohol or drugs."
The SOBEREYE device checks the users' eyes and in real-time accurately measures impairment risk due to fatigue, illness, alcohol, legal, illegal, and prescription drugs. The portable device makes it easy to self-test anytime and anywhere. Iris recognition technology identifies the person taking the test and allows unsupervised testing.
SOBEREYE's cloud-based enterprise dashboard enables corporate safety officers and human resources management access to test results in real-time, keeping them informed of their workforce alertness and Fitness-for-Duty. Notifications allow them to receive alerts and act upon the occurrence of High-Risk test results, while data analytics and reporting let them track safety progress and reveal situations that require attention.
SOBEREYE provides its clients with on-site deployment and training of both employees and supervisors, as well as on-going technical support during the subscription period and assistance with data analytics and best practices to maximize their service benefits.
SOBEREYE promotes collaboration on workplace safety initiatives, as opposed to control. As noted in a recent study released by the Journal of Clinical Health & Safety, there are advantages for impairment testing over blood and urine testing for both employers and employees. Impairment testing addresses employer concerns about human safety and protection of property. When employers promote these goals among all employees, it helps to also reduce unreported accidents.
About SOBEREYE:
Launched in Silicon Valley in 2015, SOBEREYE helps companies prevent workplace accidents by measuring impairment risk on the job when it matters most. Around 90 percent of workplace accident reports indicate human error as contributing cause. However, human error is a consequence, not a cause. Fatigue, alcohol, and drugs are among the major contributors to accidents associated with human error. SOBEREYE's one-minute, the self-administered test can save lives in the workplace.
