Safety and risk assessment

Identify risks before they occur

Understand your employees’ situational awareness and pinpoint factors that influence health and safety.

Exposing the blind spots in safety training

Eye tracking exposes the subtle shifts in focus and awareness that influence how individuals identify risks, respond to hazards, and make safety-critical decisions.

Eye tracking helps you

Reduce human error

Did you know that 85% of workplace accidents are attributable to human error? Eye tracking helps you identify improper workplace behaviors, concentration lapses, and cognitive overload, helping you eliminate preventable accidents at work.

Increase situational awareness

Most accidents do not come down to a lack of training or ability, but a limited situational awareness. Measuring visual attention helps you identify the dangers that employees are blind to and informs how you can improve their awareness going forward.

Better prepare the work environment

Industrial work environments are changing rapidly and substantially. Use eye tracking to identify unnoticed inefficiencies, poor processes, and unhelpful positioning of equipment and machinery.

Traditional training methods

Observation‑based assessment
Relies on manuals, videos, and instructor observation to assess performance.
Outcome‑only feedback
Feedback is based on outcomes, not how decisions were made.
Slow skill gap identification
Requires long training cycles to identify skill gaps.
Hard‑to‑scale expertise
Difficult to scale expert knowledge across teams.
Limited attention awareness
Limited visibility into focus and cognitive load.
Post‑training evaluation
Training effectiveness evaluated after the fact.
