Topic about Construction Safety problemsand practices started from my experience being the Safety Officer of ourconstruction project as well as my past experiences. Standard process ofconstruction safety is often disregarded and always end up being a reactiveprocess rather than proactive; with this I tried to consider Arduino for makingthe process automated and applying it to every PPE of every worker.
To further make this assumption intoreality, related projects and articles has been reviewed for more ideas andinspiration. Tools and sensors fitted for the project are also collected. Basicskills for basic programming and electronics are reinforced by attendingseminars, watching online tutorials and other study materials.
Assembling the prototype of the project dida lot of turns for me being a novice in this field, electronic parts have beenchanged and upgraded for better fit in the project. Programming and debuggingof codes really took a lot of time, I had used and compared many codes forevery sensor I used in order for it to work as planned.
With the working first prototype of theautomated PPE, we tested it to one of our workers which is notorious for beingclumsy and always on accident reports; he also agreed to volunteer for thetest. Testing ran from start of May up to the end of October and data collectedare then compared to data beforehand running from January to April. Fortunately, Accident rate of the worker is decreased by more than 70%. Improvements for theprototype are still open and on process.
