About Us
RaiseDM is an innovative Australian technology company that has developed a world class application called SafeTAG. In 2018, Co-founders Amanda Karpeles and Ash Raina joined together to develop digital solutions that would enable organisations to take rapid, relevant safety action in a crisis or emergency and reduce the risk associated with people working in remote and dynamic environments. SafeTAG has been developed based on:
- extensive occupational health and safety research and insights
- 20+ years of legal practice in WHS
- 20+ years experience developing easy to use technology solutions that drive efficiency in operations.
As a lawyer of 20+ years in the space of WHS and injury law, co-founder Amanda Karpeles witnessed businesses spend considerable sums of money on safety, only for safety to become increasingly siloed from the people it was designed to protect. It was often seen as just another task that had to be done. Having seen and forensically examined over 4000 workplace injuries and deaths, Amanda came to understand the majority of incidents are caused or aggravated by poor safety related behaviours due to inherently poor communication. When staff are isolated or working remotely, this is compounded rapidly.
With the goal of solving this issue in mind, Amanda started working on a technology solution that would be easy to use and up to date to enable employers to deliver safety communications and instructions or and providing the tools to help them stay safe even when the phones are down. SafeTAG provides a secure space for genuine two-way safety communication to give situational awareness. This is the primary purpose of SafeTAG.
