Abstract

The Construction Industry has always been allied with high-risk construction activities due to its fast pace of infrastructure development, and as a result of which the safety of workers has become a grave concern. Recent research developments indicate that integration of advanced technology within the conventional safety equipment used in the conventional process of construction presents a promising solution for risk management in real-time on various multifunctional sites [12], [21], [22].

The main focus of this research was to highlight and appraise how wearable safety devices can be implemented while confronting these safety issues and also building sustainable infrastructure. The device operates on a range of cautiously chosen environmental and physiological sensors that detect the various threats common on a construction site, thereby reducing the occurrence of accidents, and draft mitigation strategies, thereby enabling advancements in safety practices within construction industry.

The research methodology was implemented in different phases, which includes preliminary literature review, identification of Research gaps, prototype development of various smart sensors for temperature, motion, and gaseous emissions, deployment of a prototype in varied site circumstances for testing its effectiveness in hazard detection, natural performance, and user experience being recorded. These visibly reduced incidence rates and improved safety were confirmed through Field validation. These findings are a clear indication that enhancement of workers’ well-being through smart safety wear can be a monumental breakthrough in construction safety practice norms.
