This paper examines how wearable safety devices (WSDs) are used to improve health and safety practices in the construction industry. Focusing on the construction sector in Nigeria, the researchers used a quantitative approach, collecting responses through structured questionnaires from industry professionals. The analysis included both descriptive and inferential statistics to interpret patterns and insights from the data.

The paper explores how WSDs can help reduce incidents involving slips, trips, falls from height, electrocution, and on-site collisions, while also monitoring environmental risks. It also identifies the practical difficulties that prevent wider adoption of these technologies, such as high costs, limited technological infrastructure, and human-related resistance. The paper encourages further reading for a full understanding of how these challenges are addressed.
