Twiceme has launched Twiceme University, an educational platform for construction industry customers. Launched in partnership with training solution provider BrandEcation, Twiceme University aims to increase safety through awareness of safety preparedness and procedures when using personal protective equipment (PPE) integrated with Twiceme.
Twiceme University offers users a series of training modules on worksite safety and the proper use of Twiceme equipment, like setting up your medical ID and emergency contacts, equipment inspection for workers, advanced training for health and safety managers, helmet safety inspection per United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommendations and security of information and implementation in one’s workforce.
Upon successfully completing training, participants will earn a Twiceme certification. Additionally, keeping track of safety certifications for worksite employees has historically been challenging for safety managers. Using Twiceme, company workers can store and centralize all their respective certifications in the cloud to help improve the verification process for employers and employees alike.
“At Twiceme, we are focused on helping construction and industrial, professional customers build a culture of safety, and a large part of that is continued learning and awareness of safety issues and how to solve them,” said Christian Connolly, CEO and founder of Twiceme. “With the launch of Twiceme University, we will provide construction professionals with training resources and a certification that they can use to improve safety on the worksite and create a safer work environment.”
Twiceme’s smart safety technology integrates into safety equipment that protects people before and after an incident. Before an incident, Twiceme helps users monitor equipment health through a structured self-check safety process per OSHA recommendations for head and fall harness protection. Using the Twiceme smartphone app to interact with next-generation, contactless near-field communications (NFC) sensors integrated into safety equipment, first responders or safety managers can receive data about the equipment and wearer, like when a harness was last inspected.
After an incident, Twiceme supports rescuers with situational awareness by providing location information to help them find people wearing the technology. Once on the scene, if a person is injured or incapacitated, helpers use the app to access critical medical information about a person wearing the equipment, such as medicine allergies, to help the rescuers safely administer appropriate treatment. It is a feature for situations where the removal of a helmet can cause further injury to the wearer, as historically, industrial workers write emergency information on a piece of paper inside the helmet.
