    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Safety and Health
    • Biomechanics
    • Wearable Technology

    Background:

    • Falls are a primary cause of workplace injuries, leading to significant human and economic costs.
    • Current manual inspection methods for fall hazards are insufficient for large or dynamic work environments.
    • Automated hazard identification is needed to proactively prevent fall-related incidents.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate an automated method for identifying workplace fall hazards.
    • To leverage gait pattern analysis for real-time detection of hazardous floor surfaces.
    • To reduce the incidence of slips and trips through early hazard recognition.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized Smart Insole, a wearable system, for gait pattern measurement.
    • Extracted five key gait features indicative of different floor surface conditions.
    • Trained a Support Vector Machine (SVM) model to classify hazards (slip, trip) and safe surfaces.

    Main Results:

    • The developed method achieved high accuracy in recognizing fall hazards.
    • Experiment results demonstrated 98.1% accuracy in identifying slip hazards, trip hazards, and safe conditions.
    • The system effectively differentiates gait patterns associated with different floor surface risks.

    Conclusions:

    • Gait analysis using wearable sensors offers a viable solution for automated fall hazard identification.
    • This technology can empower all workers to contribute to a safer work environment by automatically reporting hazards.
    • The proposed method shows significant potential for reducing workplace falls and associated injuries.
