Facedrive Health Partners with Safe-Tech Training to Implement TraceSCAN Contact Tracing Solutions Across Canada

By AIT News Desk On Dec 16, 2020

Facedrive, a Canadian “people-and-planet first” tech ecosystem, is pleased to announce that its division Facedrive Health has partnered with Safe-Tech Training, a leader in industrial safety providing cost-effective training and certification programs to over 1,000 clients, to deliver Facedrive’s innovative COVID-19 contact tracing technology platform TraceSCAN to organizations across Canada. The partnership synergistically combines Facedrive Health’s expertise in contact tracing technology and implementation with Safe-Tech’s proven track record in delivering safety training and consulting to safety-focused clients which include many blue-chip brands.

The TraceSCAN technology was developed leveraging existing Facedrive proprietary technology in an effort to offer ongoing support in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The platform features unique Bluetooth wearable technology integration and has been endorsed by the Government of Ontario. TraceSCAN devices exchange encrypted ID’s when they are in close proximity, thereby anonymously back-tracing possible contact with a person who has tested positive for COVID-19 while ascribing a data-backed high, medium or low risk of contraction based on contact. Being Bluetooth (as opposed to GPS), TraceSCAN features state-of-the-art safeguards that better assure user data privacy and security. Unlike mobile application-based solutions, TraceSCAN’s wearable devices make contact-tracing available for workers who are unable to carry cell phones during the course of their work due to safety concerns, such as construction workers. TraceSCAN has received a very positive response in the Canadian B2B market several months into its implementation at multiple client sites across Canada.

Safe-Tech Training Inc. is a leading Ontario provider of safety training with an impeccable 30-year track record of being an “all-in-one” solution for safety training. As an industry leader since 1989, Safe-Tech offers multiple on-site training programs as well as public/off-site programs at its five GTA locations.

Safe-Tech also offers Canada’s largest selection of online safety programs with over 1,000 diverse courses available. Finally, Safe-Tech’s online store features thousands of PPE safety products that assist in preventing work-related injuries and responding when an injury does occur.

The partnership between Facedrive Health and Safe-Tech comes at an opportune time. As companies continue their essential operations amid the pandemic’s fall and winter “second wave”, they are seeking innovative and reliable ways to protect their employees.

Safe-Tech training also has an established reputation in providing safety training to, among others, Fortune 500 companies and governmental agencies. The partnership between Facedrive Health and Safe-Tech training, is expected to provide TraceSCAN ready access to these clients.

“The partnership combines Facedrive’s cutting-edge, AI-powered, Bluetooth-enabled contact tracing technology with Safe-Tech’s deep industry knowledge and network, and thereby offers our mutual clients a win-win proposition,” said the General Manager of Facedrive Health, Rishard Rameez. “We are excited to drive this collaboration for the safety, health and well-being of thousands, if not millions, of workers and their families as businesses return to work in these unprecedented circumstances,” added Rameez.

It has been a challenge for many organizations to conduct contact tracing within the workplace,” said CEO of Safe-Tech Training Dan Dukoff. “With the help of TraceSCAN, companies will be able to contact-trace with just the click of a button. Our team is looking forward to introducing this Canadian technology to our clients,” added Dan.
