Full Description
Safety and Wearable Technology tackles the profound issue of workplace safety, as each day unacceptable numbers of workers lose their lives in accidents, with even more succumbing to work-related illnesses across the globe. Many safety professionals strive to reduce these risks, but they're often hindered by limited resources, time, and information to catch hazards before tragedy strikes. With wearable technology now readily available, a new frontier has opened for workplace safety, offering powerful tools that can change how we protect workers.
In this book, three experts in wearable technology explore the critical role wearables play in enhancing workplace safety. They walk the reader through the traditional challenges of safety management, making a strong case for the adoption of wearable technology. The book covers every essential aspect of implementing wearables in the workplace; from selecting the right technology and understanding technical approaches to effective deployment and long-term safety management. It also addresses the leadership necessary to harness these advancements fully. Readers will gain insights into the innovations driving wearable technology, including sensors, machine learning, deep analytics, and artificial intelligence. As data-driven approaches redefine safety management, this book empowers safety professionals to gather actionable data, predict hazards, and intervene before incidents occur. This data-driven shift not only enhances safety but also redefines what the factory of the future can look like - a workplace where technology proactively protects workers.
Intended for professionals across the safety, operations, and engineering fields, Safety and Wearable Technology will appeal to Health and Safety Engineers, Manufacturing Engineers, Plant Managers, Industrial Hygienists, Risk Managers, and many others looking to understand and implement wearable technology in their safety protocols. This guide is an indispensable resource for those ready to envision and create safer, smarter, and more connected workplaces.
