Enhancing Workplace Safety for Older Workers: The Pulse Solution

The Pulse, presented by Oz Huner and Dan Ellis, is designed to support older employees like Betty, a 70-year-old with heart problems and mild arthritis. As older workers face increased risks of injury, adjustments to work environments are crucial. The Pulse device monitors vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate, featuring alarms (vibrating, audible, visual) for immediate feedback. Marketed to supermarkets for the safety of their mature staff, each unit is priced at approximately £50. It aids in creating a safe, comfortable work environment for older employees.
