Technology can make worksites safer, but good practices remain key: Industry players

In Singapore, companies are increasingly using technology to enhance workplace safety, including cooling garments to combat heat stress and robots for tasks like spray-painting to improve efficiency and safety. However, industry leaders emphasize that these technologies are most effective when combined with established safety practices, clear procedures, and ongoing human oversight. At the NS Square construction site, regular inspections and quarterly visits by supervisors are mandated to ensure compliance with safety standards. The site is also testing cooling garments equipped with gel that lowers body temperature and reduces heat stress, with trial results showing a 4°C reduction in surface temperature.
