Helium enables innovative companies to help businesses with their safety and health plans to mitigate risks associated with COVID-19. Helium and partners together deliver offerings to help employers with a number of use cases.

The Helium Blockchain, which powers the network, allows companies to cryptographically prove the time and location a device sent data which is useful for auditing and reporting.

Set up workplace contact tracing.

According to OSHA “COVID-19 can be a recordable illness” and the“Prompt identification and isolation of potentially infectious individuals is a critical step in protecting workers, customers, visitors, and others at a worksite.”

Contact tracing wearables in facilities allow employers to accurately pinpoint which employees are at high risk of infection due to previous contact and quickly isolate them while still maintaining their privacy. With contact tracing solutions running on Helium, companies can quickly compile accurate location information to isolate exposed employees, permit targeted cleaning of areas, and avoid shutdowns.

Maintain social distancing.

The CDC states essential workers on an assembly or production line must maintain at least a 6 feet distance from each other in the workplace.

Social distancing devices running on Helium can help companies mitigate the risk of infection transmission among workers and any social distance breach events can be automatically logged and used in reports.

Comply with occupancy limitations.

Occupancy limitations (such as no more than one employee per 300 sq ft) restrict the number of workers on a line in manufacturing or employees serving customers in retails stores.

Sensors that run on the Helium Network can help businesses comply with occupancy limitations by providing reliable, anonymous, and accurate real-time count of capacity levels freeing up employees to focus on higher level tasks.

Monitor employee temperature.

According to the CDC, employers should screen temperatures of workers before the beginning of each shift to identify anyone with a fever.

Using touchless temperature scanners running on Helium, partner solutions can monitor employee temperature to isolate at-risk workers (100.4°F temperature or greater). These workers can be prescreened before they can enter facilities mitigating infection risk.
