To beat the heat, this construction company is turning to wearable tech

Sentinel Occupational Safety Inc., the team behind the SafeGuard technology, is using 10 workers at the SMU worksite to test the sensors and software. Daly said the company ordered another 60 of the wearables and expects 90% of its hourly employees to be equipped with them. The wearables won’t be mandatory, however.

As the technology detects alarming readings, it changes the color of a category, such as heart rate, to yellow or red to indicate the level of danger. An alert is then sent to the safety supervisor’s phone. The wearable provides real-time monitoring of heart rate, core body temperature and other health indicators through a phone app.
