Defining wearable technology

A construction wearable is a device that consists of a computer or advanced electronic device that a construction worker can wear on their body, clothing, or personal protective equipment. The device is designed for collecting and delivering data about the worker's environment, activities, and biometric conditions. The technology also can detect and warn employees about any potential for injury, or reduce the seriousness of an injury when one occurs.

The construction companies can also achieve their objectives by having portable and timely access to sensors, computers, and electronics. For a company or an industry, the protection of every employee is a serious matter which they must follow, and the industry's emerging access to multifunctional technology and its ability to collect and analyze relevant data is revolutionizing worker protection.
