Emerging tech to enhance industrial workers’ safety
Business Standard
|November 24, 2025
The new labour codes have renewed the focus on the safety of workers. One of them, the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, aims to protect workers from harsh working conditions in various industrial activities.
Emerging technologies are transforming workplace safety by safeguarding both the physical and mental well-being of workers in demanding environments. Innovations such as blockchain-powered compliance tracking, AI-driven real-time safety monitoring, and global zero-incident safety standards are setting new benchmarks.
Advanced solutions like autonomous AI safety systems, smart PPE equipped with instant alerts, and blockchain-based certification frameworks further enhance protection.
Additionally, sustainability-focused measures, including carbon-neutral safety gear, AI-optimised safety strategies, and decentralised, cost-effective safety infrastructures, are shaping a future where safety and sustainability go hand in hand.
