What is Haptic Feedback?
Haptic Feedback is the vibrational alerts SafeWork Sensors emit when they detect a series of bad bends, fast twists, or fast tilts. These vibrations notify Industrial Athletes that their body movements are unsafe and could potentially lead to injury.
For example, if you are wearing a Flex sensor and continuously bend your lower back over 60º to pick up a product instead of using your legs, your sensor will detect multiple bad bends and you will feel the haptic feedback notifying you of the physical risk – an indication to correct your form.
Each instance of Haptic Feedback is recorded in the SafeWork database and reported on in the Analytics and Intervention Sections of the SafeWork Dashboard.

Vibrational alerts remind Industrial Athletes to correct their form when unsafe movements are detected.
