WakeCap, a leading provider of workforce safety and productivity solutions, says it is playing a pivotal role in improving construction safety standards throughout Saudi Arabia.
During the closing ceremony of the Nomu accelerator and industrial business incubator initiative, Dr. Hassan Albalawi, CEO and founder of WakeCap, demonstrated the technology to key government figures, including His Excellency Bandar I. Alkhorayef, the Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources, and His Excellency Mr. Khalil Ibn Salamah, the Deputy Minister for Industrial Affairs.
“We are honoured by His Excellency’s comments and endorsements, which not only validate our technology as crucial for setting new safety standards, but also signal a directive for mandating this technology on major projects. Doing so will promote transparency and ensure better compliance rates,” said Dr Albalawi.
“This aligns perfectly with our mission to transform safety protocols in the construction industry and beyond, leveraging WakeCap’s capabilities to forge a safer, more secure working environment for all.”
WakeCap’s growing influence is further underscored by the Ministry’s involvement in NCOSH, where WakeCap is positioned as a key player in shaping future occupational safety and health regulations in Saudi Arabia.
The government’s strategy to mandate safety and security across the construction and related sectors will be closely supported by WakeCap’s technology, which enhances emergency response times and provides robust data for compliance and incident investigation.
The technology facilitates real-time monitoring of workers’ conditions, enabling instant alerts in the event of emergencies, significantly reducing response times. Moreover, the data collected by WakeCap ensures ongoing compliance with safety regulations and plays a critical role in investigating incidents, identifying root causes, and implementing preventative measures.
This approach aligns with the government’s commitment to fostering a culture of safety and accountability through data-driven insights and actions.
Already adopted by over 35 leading developments and projects, WakeCap is setting new standards across the sector and leading the way in digital innovation for construction. This forward-thinking approach resonates with the kind of industry leadership that stands out in award considerations, much like the reasons you’ve highlighted for recognising excellence in equipment rental companies.
