Fall from height is a cause of concern in the construction sector. Appropriate use of a harness can be the difference between an incident or a critical accident. Monitoring the proper use of a harness in the workplace using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices is a recent and effective approach. The aim of this article is to identify typical limitations in a BLE monitoring system in order to propose solutions according to the existing literature. Alternative solutions found in the literature showed that the integration of BLE with other technologies such as building information modeling, radio-frequency identification or the global positioning system can improve the effectiveness of current monitoring approaches based only on BLE and reduce rates of fall from height accidents. For correct integration, both technological factors (cost, compatibility, data transmission) and cultural factors (social acceptance, procedures, etc.) must be taken into account.
高处坠落是建筑行业令人担忧的一个问题。正确使用安全带可能会决定是发生事故还是严重事故。使用低功耗蓝牙(BLE)设备在工作场所监测安全带的正确使用是一种最新且有效的方法。本文的目的是识别BLE监测系统中的典型局限性,以便根据现有文献提出解决方案。文献中找到的替代解决方案表明,将BLE与其他技术(如建筑信息模型、射频识别或全球定位系统)集成,可以提高当前仅基于BLE的监测方法的有效性,并降低高处坠落事故的发生率。为了实现正确集成,必须同时考虑技术因素(成本、兼容性、数据传输)和文化因素(社会接受度、程序等)。
