Connected Worker Health & Safety from an ATEX SmartWatch

An intrinsically safe smart watch for industrial workers to proactively manage their health and wellbeing; reduce risks of medical illnesses and safety incidents.

2. Exposure Monitoring

Workers may be exposed to high heat working conditions in hazardous environments, resulting in heat stress.

The Exposure Monitoring function monitors workers’ exposure to heat in immediate work zones; measured as heat index score using temperature and humidity.

When workers are exposed to dangerous heat levels over a sustained period, alerts are sent; informing workers to hydrate and rest.

3. Wellbeing Monitoring

Workers may suffer from fatigue and incident risks due to long hours at work and lack of physical activity.

The Wellbeing Monitoring function monitors Resting and Active Heart Rates actively and are displayed on the SmartWatch. The Activity Tracker feature tracks daily step goals against industry standards and promotes healthy living.

When Heart Rate exceeds safe levels, alerts are sent for workers to hydrate and rest when possible. The data can be used to more effectively measure and track efficacy of Corporate Wellness programs.

4. Workload Management

Workers may experience fatigue due to long working hours and heavy workload over an extended period.

The Workload Management feature allows workers to conveniently record and track their Work Rest hours at the start of each shift.

The most recent past 48 hours of work time is summarized for workers, helping them to manage their working hours more sustainably in hazardous locations.
