In high-risk industries, workplace safety relies not only on policies and procedures but also on real-time awareness of human factors. Ensuring workplace safety begins with thorough background checks and drug testing, which verify an employee’s qualifications and compliance. Human performance monitoring strengthens this foundation by detecting real-time risks such as fatigue or cognitive decline. When used together, they help organizations protect their people and operations more effectively. This approach supports early identification of risk and enables timely interventions that can help reduce the potential for harm. When safety programs consider both the compliance and performance sides, organizations can reduce uncertainty and close dangerous gaps in coverage.
