Firm unveils safety app to curb workplace accidents

part of its safety innovation, Schneider Electric has unveiled a third-party software, EcoOnline Safety App, an advanced platform designed to enable employees to report incidents seamlessly.

The safety app will enhance workplace risk detection, foster risk awareness, and promote a culture of transparency where every team member can actively participate and contribute to improving workplace safety.

The firm, in a statement, yesterday, asserted that this reflects her dedication to promoting workplace safety, aligning closely with the Federal Government’s objectives to address Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) challenges.

Zone President, Middle East and Africa, Walid Sheta, stressed the need for every employee to feel safe, empowered, and capable of identifying and mitigating risks within their workspaces.

Also, HSE Manager at Schneider Electric, Stanley Okoro, said that the unveiling of the app marked a significant step towards addressing Nigeria’s pressing concerns in OSH, including inadequate safety standards, limited awareness, and underreporting of industrial accidents.

“Our approach integrates comprehensive safety policies with advanced tools to create a safety-first culture. For instance, we create regular safety training programmes to equip employees with the knowledge and skills to navigate hazardous environments safely. Employees can mitigate risks by staying updated with the latest safety techniques and tools,” he said.
