Abstract

Wearable technologies are taking on increased importance in workspaces, because with then we can monitor the state of people and their environment and react appropriately according to the parameters they capture at real time. They are considered ideal for personal protection equipment doing risk checking and providing support and information to the worker for decision making. We identify solutions made available by industry 4.0 to prevent hazards with a wireless model consists of the design of different innovative PPE (Personal protective equipment) that incorporates intelligent tools and fabrics capable of reacting in real time to a risk situation. Seeking to improve the health and safety of work sectors where there is a high risk of an accident.
