Abstract

In the context of power distribution utilities, improving safety practices at work is fundamental as it is a high-risk activity and fatalities still occur. To avoid these, standardization of processes, constant training and tight control are the actions typically adopted. However, such actions are limited by their strong dependence on human initiative. This research project proposes to apply the smart connected worker concept by using wearable sensing technologies to prevent, prior to near-miss, the unsafe actions/conditions defined in the DuPont pyramid. Sensing of parameters such as physiological (e.g., ECG, PPG, SpO2, etc.), physical (e.g., acceleration, electric field strength, location, etc.) and environmental (e.g., UV intensity and temperature) are applied to personal protective equipment (PPE's) and feed a mobile app and a cloud analytics platform to generate active (real-time) and reactive (offline) individual fitness statuses. As a result, accidents can be further prevented due to the addition of a new and remote layer of supervision; security procedures improved through data collection and processing; and operational performance enhanced due to increased connectivity.

电力公司线路员可穿戴监控系统,降低工作场所健康和安全风险
在配电设施的背景下,改善工作中的安全措施是至关重要的,因为这是一项高风险的活动,死亡事故仍然时有发生。为了避免这些,标准化的过程,持续的培训和严格的控制是通常采取的行动。然而,这些行动因其对人的主动性的强烈依赖而受到限制。本研究项目建议通过使用可穿戴传感技术来应用智能互联工人概念,以防止在杜邦金字塔中定义的不安全行为/条件。对生理(如ECG、PPG、SpO2等)、物理(如加速度、电场强度、位置等)和环境(如紫外线强度和温度)等参数的传感应用于个人防护装备(PPE),并为移动应用程序和云分析平台提供数据,以生成主动(实时)和被动(离线)的个人健身状态。因此,由于增加了一个新的远程监督层,事故可以进一步预防;通过数据收集和处理改进了安全程序;由于连接性的提高,操作性能也得到了提高。
