From construction sites to hospitals to warehouses, NextWave collaborates with safety teams to provide independent, thirdparty oversight to help companies operate their operations as effectively and safely as possible. NextWave is digitizing and modernizing the safety industry by augmenting existing on-site block and tackle tactics with proprietary technology such as the company’s insights engine and compliance-tracking app. This is done to increase competition, improve efficiency, and reduce the number of workplace accidents. NextWave provides three primary services to its customers: Academy - NextWave’s programmes are OSHA and IACET certified, and they have been upgraded with immersive VR modules to certify for a wide range of industries, including transportation, construction, healthcare, manufacturing, energy, and agriculture. Safety - the organization takes care of the headaches associated with meeting and maintaining compliance, detecting dangers, and lowering possible losses and insurance premiums to keep customers project on schedule and on budget. Diversity — The company’s plugand-play, LinkedIn-style network streamlines the bid process, allowing minority and female business owners to be more competitive in the market and allowing contractors to satisfy diversity standards more easily. NextWave is on a mission to shape the future of safety training and workplace safety by inventing cutting-edge technologies to decrease project risk, reduce workplace accidents, and boost productivity. “We bring an unprecedented level of transparency and efficiency to workers, insurers, contractors, and developers.” says Joseph Albunio, President, NextWave. 

WE BRING AN UNPRECEDENTED LEVEL OF TRANSPARENCY AND EFFICIENCY TO WORKERS, INSURERS, CONTRACTORS, AND DEVELOPERS

While new and current technology have transformed the industrial environment, safety and construction have lagged, costing businesses trillions of dollars and tens of thousands of deaths each year. NextWave’s technology digitizes the whole process, from training to procurement, to increase efficacy and minimize complexity, assisting businesses in exceeding their safety and diversity targets. While hazards are an unavoidable aspect of the job, becoming a victim of them does not have to be. NextWave Safety identifies possible problems before they cause financial losses, expediting the whole compliance process to keep clients’ projects on schedule and below budget. NextWave Safety professionals produce solutions that suit the business goals of their customers, from corporate safety programmes to individual project compliance. “We work with you to understand your needs and develop client-specific solutions that deliver cost-effective results.” says Joseph Albunio, President, NextWave. The technological platform of the organization provides access to the greatest resources, tools, and training to aid with implementation and compliance.

NextWave fully immersive virtual environments replicate practical training, allowing students, new hires, or veteran employees to conduct site safety investigations, operate heavy equipment, or progress through essential safety protocols while learning the dangerous reality of what happens when those standards are not met. NextWave’s VR team creates material to assist companies in keeping their personnel safe and their projects profitable. The company’s VR upgrades may be used as an instructional tool to supplement existing OSHA, DOB, or FDNY training, as part of job onboarding, or as safety refreshers. Training is provided in support of the active course schedule, on a per student basis at any of the company’s academy sites, or as part of a full VR system integration for the customer’s training space.
