Heat related illness is a serious health concern for construction workers in tropical climates or those working under hot and humid environmental conditions. It can cause damage to body organs and the nervous system resulting in permanent disability or even death. Development of systems for construction workers to detect and alert temperature-warning signs early is a timely and strategic need. The advancement and rapid development of wearable computers and wearable electronics has produced electronic textiles. This paper presents the smart safety vest prototype developed to senses the temperature and alert the wearer and surrounding workers/management about thermal abnormalities. It can be used as an early warning system for construction workers. The Lily Pad Arduino platform was used as the main technology. The temperature variations were alerted in visual format using colored LED lights and in audible format using a speaker stitched on to the safety vest. Early detection of heat stroke conditions can mean the difference between life and death for construction workers. Hence, it is expected that the proposed technology will enable a step change in construction personal protective equipment globally.
