Guest Speaker: Paul Willson - '1Breadcrumb Workplace Mapping and Contact Tracing Solution'

Paul Willson is the CEO and Founder of workplace mapping solution, 1Breadcrumb. 1Breadcrumb is a fully encrypted, paper-free system that meets the safety needs of business owners and workers during and beyond the COVID-19 crisis.

Businesses have the power to create a private, geo-fenced site that employees can check-in and out of via their mobile phone, contact-free. This provides businesses with a timestamped record of who was on-site, when they arrived and departed, and for how long they were on site. Managers can then recall this information in under 8 seconds should a COVID outbreak occur.

Individuals also have the ability to store and share mandatory workplace health and safety documentation such as white cards, industry licenses, and SWMS automatically. Ultimately, 1Breadcrumb puts the power back into businesses’ hands by allowing them to comply with safe working practices with speed and accuracy.
