Executive Summary
This report provides EHS managers with a framework for developing a business case for the implementation of industrial wearable technology and its mobile software application, to enhance EHS processes. Firms can significantly reduce incident and accident rates and avoid substantial fines and compensation claims using the technologies. Additionally, firms can benefit from applying the technologies to a variety of use cases. This report quantitatively assesses the application of both technologies in the context of proximity sensing, to avoid collision with mobile machinery, and ergonomics, to mitigate work-related musculoskeletal disorders.Industrial Wearables And Their Mobile Applications Help Reduce Incident And Accident Rates
