UK contractor Amey said it has successfully conducted trials of wearable biometric and location device safety technology that could reduce risks to drivers and lone workers.
The technology was provided by Fujitsu. It included a collar drowsiness detector and ear clip, measuring changes in blood flow which are indicators of attention loss and an initial sign of fatigue. The small units detect when the body is under stress and help workers raise instant alarms at the touch of a button.
A fleet of machines from Volvo Construction equipment is helping boost production at a quarry company in Texas. Family firm Conners Crushed Stone is using its Volvo CE fleet to help quarry and crush high-quality limestone at five quarries in Texas, USA.
Although best known for its oil fields, the state’s natural resources also include extensive limestone deposits. Veins of limestone run throughout the state, from the heights of the state’s Big Bend Mountains all the way down to the Rio Grande on the bor
Good lighting can help improve safety levels in challenging working conditions, while also allowing increases in productivity. New technology provides a durable solution able to cope with tough working environments, while also drawing little power
Transitioning to zero-carbon transport globally is essential to keep climate change in check. Yet seven years after the Paris Climate Agreement, transport emissions are still rising.
