EBI partners with KINEXON for leading Distance Monitoring & Contact Tracing Solution
Implementation of KINEXON SafeZone as Workplace Health & Safety solution with EBI helps employees maintain proper physical distancing and companies quickly track potential COVID-19 exposure
Employment Background Investigations Inc. (EBI), one of the largest privately-held employee background screening firms in the US, announces the addition of KINEXON SafeZone to its Workplace Health & Safety solution for distance monitoring & contact tracing. The end-to-end system developed by EBI partner KINEXON is the world’s most trusted solution to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace.
“Maintaining physical distance is one of the most important things we can do to avoid COVID-19 and other infectious diseases. The KINEXON SafeZone distance monitoring & contract tracing component helps companies ensure compliance with social distancing, which makes employees feel more confident in returning to work as there is a true effort being taken to keep people safe.”
Within the new distance monitoring system, employees wear a KINEXON SafeTag, an extremely lightweight sensor (15 grams), that uses ultra-wideband technology to pinpoint their proximity to one another. The device sends an alert when the employee is too close to another person and sends all data to the company’s command center. The technology also allows for accurate and efficient contract tracing.
If someone falls ill, the Contact Tracing functionality allows a company to quickly identify and notify co-workers who were close enough to be potentially exposed. Through a mobile app, EBI Workplace Health & Safety sends out notifications, as well as information regarding testing or quarantining, all while protecting the affected employee’s identity. The entire process is automated and immediately allows for tracing of possible chains of infection.
“The goal with COVID-19 or any other infectious disease is to stop the spread as quicky as possible while allowing a business to keep running – and effective technology is the key. Data from our partner KINEXON shows that more than 70% of critical contacts may be missed without a digital tracing solution as part of an interview-based contact tracing protocol, which is a staggering statistic. In contrast, three out of four users feel safer at work while wearing a SafeTag contact tracing device. The numbers speak for themselves.”
