The Role of Tech in Safety Solutions
Construction companies are implementing a real-time awareness system to prevent accidents and near-miss incidents between heavy equipment and workers. The system combines a sensor tag worn by workers with receivers installed in all machines and vehicles on the construction site. It provides machine-to-people awareness, direct notifications to operators, and a panic button for distress. It can also indicate no-go zones and program physical obstacles to ensure personnel are alerted and can avoid them.
