As temperatures continue to rise, heat stress is becoming one of the biggest challenges facing the construction industry. While hydration, rest breaks and shaded rest areas remain important, organisations must look beyond traditional controls and explore how technology can help better protect workers.
This session will share practical insights on how technology, data and leadership can work together to address heat stress risks. Drawing from real construction experiences, the presentation will cover the use of environmental sensors, wearable technology, monitoring systems and digital tools to identify risks early and support timely intervention.
The discussion will also highlight how heat stress affects concentration, decision-making, productivity and overall site safety.
The goal is simple: combine people, processes and technology to move from reacting to heat stress incidents towards predicting and preventing them before they occur.
