Workers in the manufacturing, warehousing, and construction industries face the risk of work-related injuries. In 2022, these industries recorded over 700,000 nonfatal injuries and over 2,000 fatal accidents. As consumer demand for these industries grows, companies have begun exploring the use of wearable technologies (wearables) to address worker safety and productivity. Wearables are devices worn on the body that can vary in size, shape, and function. These devices can collect, store, and share information about the wearer's body and the environment. Examples include exoskeletons or exosuits, wearable ergonomic sensors, and augmented reality (AR) glasses. Key Questions: 1) What types of wearable technologies are available in the industrial workplace? 2) To what extent do wearables affect employee safety and productivity? and 3) What challenges exist for implementation of wearable technologies in the workplace and what options could policy makers consider to help address these challenges?
