- Using wearable technologies for occupational health management would result in reducing occupational-health related issues, particularly Musco-Skeletal Disorders which are common in construction. The paper presents an innovative system for construction training which was piloted across further education colleges to support the delivery of construction trade training. The research won the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) Premier award in the Digital Innovation category. The paper is an exemplar of applied multi-disciplinary research collaboration.
