As workers return to the office in the midst of Omicron, staying safe in the workplace is top of mind for employers and employees alike. To create a safer work environment, organizations need to develop and follow COVID-19 workplace policies. The CDC recommends that businesses start by “identifying where and how workers might be exposed to COVID-19 at work”. But how do you identify and assess these health risks at your workplace? In this article, we’ll discuss how smart physical security tools can help you.

Earlier this year, Rhombus released the industry’s first video surveillance and sensor solution, combining the powerful R2 security camera with a suite of smart sensors. These sensors provide greater visibility at scale with true plug-and-play flexibility. When paired with an R2 camera, the sensors can track high-value items and alert you if they disappear, detect when someone accesses a restricted area, and can even catch equipment failure before it happens. The Rhombus sensors provide deeper insights into your physical space and are integrated with your cameras to provide synchronized, real-time video records and alerts.

Do you frequently have items in your office or workspace that go missing? Maybe you work at a school, and the projector ends up in a random room, or you work on a manufacturing line, and a tool isn’t where it’s supposed to be. In these different scenarios, there is often no data or visibility about where important items are other than relying on someone’s memory, which is never a great idea.

When it comes to the safety of your employees, assets, and workspace – you always want the best solutions. To ensure you receive the absolute best performance possible, Rhombus includes over 20 integrations with tried-and-true, industry-leading solutions ranging from access control, incident management and notification tools, storage management, single sign-on, and so much more.
