If you want to stay competitive in this rapidly changing environment, you need to be aware of how technology is changing the way you do business and that your employees are more efficient and effective.

Wireless sensors and trackers are embedded in personal protective equipment such as gloves, vests, and hard hats.

They can monitor vital elements of workers, their movements, repetitive straining tasks, and slips or falls. These data help you to keep your workforce safe as they are provided in real-time to safety managers letting them know if a laborer is weakened or prone to accident.

Wearable devices can increase employee safety and streamline processes, for example:

• work boots equipped with sensors to detect temperature and track employees’ movements and their location
• sensors sewn on pants or shirts can warn workers of hazardous areas on construction sites.

We will review in October how wearables can help the construction industry, and the benefits and challenges you can expect when you use them. We will publish the following articles:

• What can wearables do for the construction industry? published on 21st October
• What are the benefits and challenges of wearables in construction? To be published on 28th October
