One of the most impactful ways that touchscreens can assist with safety is as a capable stand-in for dangerous machinery and equipment. With brilliant graphics, complete 360 degree views, and interactive abilities, a touchscreen can successfully replace machinery in certain situations. The most apt would be training. If you're a technician in training or you're learning about a machine to be able to sell it, a touchscreen can provide the fully interactive experience you need to learn. Instead of having to use the actual machinery for every task (even if it's purely information and doesn't require machinery use), you can use your touchscreen for the same effect. By keeping operation of dangerous machinery to an as-needed minimum, you're improving overall safety.

What if the dangerous aspects of your workplace could be done by somebody else and that 'somebody else' was a robot, instead of a person? With a touchscreen, that's a real possibility. You can run a robot from a touchscreen, giving you the ability to delegate dangerous tasks involving heavy machinery to other machinery. As technology continues to advance, the ability to protect employees will continue to increase. With a touchscreen, you're ahead of the curve.

Building a touchscreen kiosk (especially in manufacturing spaces) will pay off in a myriad of ways. In addition to being one of the most underutilized marketing mediums, touchscreens can improve workplace safety.
