About Ericsson Safe Worker
With preventable occupational incidents and illnesses causing almost 2 million deaths and 3 trillion USD in costs every year across the globe, smarter solutions and technologies are crucial for improving workplace safety. The idea to develop Safe Worker originated when our own tower safety experts and AI engineers came together with a mutual passion to save lives by eliminating preventable workplace deaths and injuries using smart technology.
