About Kinetic

The Kinetic team is on a mission to create a safer workplace and better life for the industrial workforce around the world. Kinetic develops innovative technology that is used to identify and prevent injuries in the industrial workforce.

Kinetic has deployed this wearable product to over 85,000 workers in the last 8 years, and has seen great success when the device is complemented with workforce education, coaching, and regular interaction.
