Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) has highlighted the necessity of protecting the personal data of workers to ensure the effectiveness of safety management that is based on information technology and a supported protection system. The IoT era has presented the possibility of developing evaluation criteria for preventing occupational accidents by analyzing accumulated data on workers. For example, a warning is issued when unsafe conditions are detected in work environments. This warning system is grounded in a real-time analysis of workers’ behavioral histories or physical disorders. Given that each worker in a worksite can be identified, determining whose data have been obtained is easy. To ensure occupational safety and health in the IoT era, companies should consider not only the safety and health of workers in real-world contexts but also the risks to which they are exposed in information or virtual spaces.
