WSH Technology

WSH technology is a key enabler to achieving the strategic outcomes in WSH 2028. 

The deployment of suitable WSH technology can:

  • remove workers from risky activities;
  • improve workers’ situational awareness;
  • deter risky behaviours and reduce human error;
  • assess and alert on ill health that may increase risk of work accidents.

Examples of technology that can be used for WSH:

For vehicular safety

WSH technology Can address
  • Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) or Advanced Rider Assistance System (ARAS)
  • Driver Status Monitoring System (DSMS)
  • Driver or rider behaviour monitoring
  • Blind spot detection
  • 360 degrees camera
  • Proximity sensors
  • Vehicular and heavy equipment safety due to:
    • Reckless driving or operation
    • Blindspot
    • Traffic management (paths and visibility)
    • Unsafe driver or rider behaviour
  • Caught in or between objects

For construction and facilities management safety

WSH technology Can address
  • Electronic Permit-to Work (e-PTW)
  • Building façade inspections using drones
  • Internet of Things (IoT) sensors
  • Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) simulation

  • Prevention of slips, trips and falls
  • Slips, trips and falls
  • Falls from height
  • Struck by falling object
  • Struck by moving object

For workforce health

WSH technology Can address
  • Digital wearables for real-time health monitoring
  • Noise and heat stress sensors
  • Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)
  • Noise induced deafness (NID)
  • Fatigue
  • Heat stress
  • Worker's health or chronic conditions affecting safety
