CINCINNATI, OHIO, UNITED STATES, April 27, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Benchmark Gensuite®, provider of the industry-leading platform of digital Environmental Health & Safety & Sustainability solutions, is pleased to announce a new partnership with SlateSafety, a worker safety technology provider based in Atlanta.

SlateSafety (formerly FireHUD) was founded to provide wearable technology that assists in the real-time detection and prevention of heat stress and overexertion injuries. With customers spanning emergency response, the military, and industrial companies, SlateSafety empowers leaders to take on safety duties and improve decision-making.

With the shared goal of enhancing safety management tools and technologies, both Benchmark and SlateSafety are excited about this new partnership. The collaboration allows Benchmark to deliver added functionality to current and future customers by automating safety concern reporting and risk identification via wearable technology.

“This is a big step forward for connected safety,” said Zack Braun, Co-Founder and CEO of SlateSafety, after formalizing the partnership. “This is the first EHS tool to ingest real-time alerting capabilities specific to heat stress and overexertion. It is clear that customers are demanding a more robust way to automate data management and reporting, and the Benchmark-SlateSafety partnership enables this.”

Pete Bolderstone, Benchmark’s Global Partner Program Leader, said “We’re thrilled to partner with SlateSafety, as using wearable technology enables workers and their supervisors to access critical information in real-time, such as heat stress detection and alerting, to make safe decisions – helping avoid injury risks and prevent incidents. A great addition to the safety reporting mandate.”
