This article will delve into the intersection of PPE and next-gen technologies such as wearable tech with sensors, smart fabric, and augmented reality safety goggles, laying the groundwork for superior plant safety.
Northern Ireland Water has purchased more than 700 connected wearable devices by leading safety technology provider Blackline Safety Corp. for its frontline workers.
Technological developments over the last several years are positively influencing safety efforts. We’re going to explore a few of the key transformative factors shaping safety in the industry today.
With climate change in mind, it is imperative that industries evaluate current heat safety practices and explore the potential of core body temperature-sensing wearables that accurately predict heat strain, improve worker productivity, and mitigate adverse heat-related health outcomes.
Safety wearables are quickly becoming the go-to fix for ergonomic injuries in the workplace, but their injury reduction capabilities extend further than that.
Drowning in data but starved for insights? It's a common problem in the field of workplace safety where having access to a vast amount of injury data is both a blessing and a curse.
The research will focus on the occupational activities of workers in warehouses, and whether wearable technologies that track functional movements can provide continuous physiological data to guide treatment plans and training programs that would mitigate or alleviate injuries.
