VOGO & OPPBTP: Bone conduction technology that combines safety, innovation, and cost-efficiency on construction sites

The OPPBTP (Professional Organization for Prevention in Building and Public Works) regularly highlights solutions that help improve safety and economic performance on construction sites. In this context, the bone conduction headset developed by VOGO has established itself as a benchmark in communication, prevention, and cost-effectiveness.

Thanks to this technology, construction professionals can communicate clearly, even in the noisiest environments, while keeping their personal protective equipment (PPE). But beyond safety, VOGO delivers a tangible return on investment, confirmed by a study shared by the OPPBTP.

For over 75 years, the OPPBTP has been supporting construction companies in improving safety and working conditions.
Its missions:

  • Promote technological innovations that contribute to prevention.
  • Evaluate solutions based on safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness criteria.
  • Disseminate best practices on construction sites.

It is within this framework that the OPPBTP highlighted the VOGO solution and its measurable results in the field.

Thanks to bone conduction, sound is transmitted through vibration directly to the inner ear, without passing through the eardrum. Users can communicate while keeping their earplugs or noise-canceling helmets on, in accordance with OPPBTP recommendations.

By enabling instant communication without removing PPE, VOGO reduces the risk of errors, misunderstandings, or accidents caused by a lack of communication.

The smoothness of communication improves team coordination, reduces downtime, and optimizes operational processes all key factors for the overall performance of a construction site.

One of the most striking points highlighted by the OPPBTP is the demonstrated profitability of the VOGO solution.
A study conducted on a construction site equipped with bone conduction headsets revealed measurable economic results:

IndicatorMeasured result
Return (gains / costs)€2.96 generated for every euro invested
Return on investment (ROI)Payback period of just 10 months
Gain per employee per year925 €
Overall savings22 190 € (gains – costs)

These figures confirm that VOGO is not only a safety solution but also a profitable investment, aligned with the OPPBTP’s economic criteria.

The OPPBTP encourages companies to adopt solutions that combine prevention and economic performance.
VOGO aligns perfectly with this vision:

  • Safety: preservation of hearing and clear communication without compromising the use of PPE.
  • Efficiency: instructions transmitted instantly, enhanced coordination.
  • Profitability: measurable gains and fast ROI, proven by field studies.
  • Innovation: technology validated by leading organizations such as the OPPBTP.

During an on-site trial, teams equipped with the VOGO solution observed:

  • A significant decrease in interruptions caused by communication issues.
  • An improvement in responsiveness in risky situations.
  • An increase in daily productivity.
  • And greater employee satisfaction, as they can finally work safely while staying connected.

These concrete results support the OPPBTP’s objectives for active prevention and improved productivity on construction sites.

The collaboration between VOGO and the OPPBTP perfectly illustrates the convergence between technological innovation and economic performance.
By combining effective communication, active prevention, and rapid return on investment, VOGO is redefining safety standards on construction sites.

For construction companies, investing in VOGO means:

  • Ensuring the safety of employees
  • Complying with OPPBTP recommendations
  • And above all, making every euro invested profitable from the very first year.

VOGO: the technology that speaks the same language as the OPPBTP, that of prevention, performance, and profitability.
