1. Multi-Sense Safety Sign Floor Signs of the Times, LLC Sponsor: Eddie Green Team Members: ECE-Michael Shepherd, Austin Brownlow, Eric Richter 1

2. Background According to OSHA –Slips and falls account for 15% of all accidental deaths 2 nd leading cause of deaths behind motor vehicles Approx. 12,000/year –One of the most frequently-reported insurance claims Approx. 25% of reported claims/year –Over 17% of all disabling occupational injuries result from falls Further need for slip and fall prevention 2

3. Background (cont.) The average workers’ compensation in 2003 for a slip/trip/fall was $20,228 –That’s $243 Million per year Current caution signs (if used) are inadequate –Most people have become desensitized to wet floor signs –Current signs receive a lack of attention 3

4. Floor Signs of the Times Founded by Eddie Green Created idea of multi-sense safety sign Developed several prototypes 4

5. One Original Prototype Sound Circuit Sensor Circuit Light Circuit 9V Battery 2 AA Batteries Li-ion 3.7V Rechargable Batter Open/Close Switch Light Refractor 5

6. Observations Not reliable –These parts were not designed for this system Not manufacturable –Not aesthetically pleasing Requires three separate power sources –Three separate circuits 6

26. Manufacturing Cost Total Prototype Cost: $47.68 This cost is at individual pricing In production quantities, price would be cut in half –$23.84 26

27. Recommendations Reverse-engineer PIR Sensor Printed Circuit board for LED Assembly Customizable LED/Buzzer frequency and light/sound magnitude Voice circuit –Verbal warnings vs. buzzer alarm –Multiple languages Moisture sensor –Able to detect moisture content –Automatically shut off when no moisture 27
