Abstract:
Innovative technologies have been supporting the improvement of comfort and safety at work in construction and mining, which are classified as high-risk sectors, for many years. A two-part study (Part I and Part II) was conducted in which the implementation of innovative technologies was analysed and evaluated (opportunities and limitations). In Part II, the technologies employed in the work environment by employees to enhance their comfort and safety at work were analysed. These technologies encompass virtual and augmented reality, innovative personal and collective protective equipment, and exoskeletons. Following a thorough analysis of the extant scientific literature from the Scopus database, it was determined that there were research gaps that required attention. In addition to the evident advantages of enhancing the safety of workers, innovative technological solutions also engender numerous economic benefits for employers, which impact sustainable development in enterprises. In order to fully exploit the potential of modern technologies, it is necessary to continue their integration and overcome implementation barriers, such as the need for changes in education and training, adequate funding, and the development of safety awareness and culture in companies.
