Wearables are the devices designed to collect and deliver data about the worker’s environment, activities and biometric conditions. This can be put in worker’s body, clothing or personal protective equipment. Some wearable improves comfort whereas others improve safety. These technology in construction is increasing on the job site. By using this technology accidents can be avoided. Some wearable devices are explained in this blog.
