From virtual risks to real solutions

Route 151 begins in Badajozwhat will happen next 80 cities a mobile squad in which Asepeyo organized exhibition of new technologies for the prevention of occupational risks. It is parked next to Puerto Pilar. The route was created on Monday and remains until today Thursday in morning and afternoon classes (9:30 a.m., 12:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.)). Tomorrow he will be disassembled to be transported to another city, where he will stay for another week.

The technological advances shown in this mobile device, which has an area of ​​about 90 square meters, are applied to work in a limited space, virtual reality to simulate risky situations, a driving simulator for this in adverse weather conditions or under the influence of alcohol, measuring noise so that workers are not affected by it, healthy habits, medical examinations, weight control, diet and stress.

Among the most interesting elements – exoskeletons, with which you can avoid back injuries. They can be used by workers who have to work in the pit with raised arms, elbows resting on the exoskeleton, while not suffering from the spine and neck. Another is used for those who must constantly squat, and the exoskeleton restores the weight of the back between the limbs so that the lower back does not suffer and thus avoids lower back pain and spinal problems.

Other attention-grabbing elements in the mobile device are virtual reality glasses. With virtual reality, scenarios are created in which users put themselves at risk without suffering the consequences, with different experiences such as falling from a height, evacuating in a fire, or using alcohol and drugs, which simulates being inside. of the brain to see the deterioration that occurs in neurons when these substances are routinely taken. “It’s about simulating risks to feel emotions and have a memory to try to change those habits,” explained Norberto Afonso.

“We tried to touch on all the points that can affect the reduction of sick leave, which is the main task, in all types of areas,” said Asepeyo regional director Francisco Díaz during the presentation.

All these disclosed applications are an extraordinary free service that Aspepeyo offers to companies to inform and raise awareness, without taking away their ability to prevent. The exhibition is aimed mainly at companies, work consultancy and educational centers with professional training, which teach subjects related to occupational risks. As Diaz explained, there are already multinational companies using these advances on assembly lines, such as Renault or Ford.

This is route 151 because Asepeyo is a mutual social security number 151.
