Embedded sensors, connected to the industrial internet of things (IIoT), have increased the granularity and frequency of data collected during the drilling process – but the data is often siloed and underutilized. This lack of integration can lead to expensive, time-consuming problems during the drilling process. Inefficient drilling programs can have an even greater aggregate financial impact,...

Hong Kong is notorious for her high construction accidents rates. Although the accidents rate has dropped from 350 per 1000 workers in mid 1980 to 60 per 1000 workers in 2007, it still accounted for nearly one-fifth of all the industrial accidents in Hong Kong. Contractors were economically pressed and battered by exorbitant compensation over the years. This paper presents a comprehensive study...

The use of wireless applications in industrial environments is rapidly increasing. Examples are remotecontrolled cranes, doors and robots. The electromagnetic interference in such environments can cause severe problems and therefore has to be characterized to avoid accidents and disturbances in the production processes. In this paper it is shown how the measurements of the Amplitude Probability...

conclusions accidents resulting in death, total disability, and partial disability impose a huge cost burden on society, whereas the employer will bear a relatively low cost. this is because of society’s health, treatment, and welfare systems available for treatment and rehabilitation of injured employees and their families. background occupational accidents represent one of the major problems ...
