The Future of Sensors
Protecting Worker Health through Sensor Technologies
The current pace of science and technology development is widely acknowledged to be advancing at exponential levels. This rate of change has enormous implications for advanced sensors in the workplace and their potential to improve the protection of worker health. We are now at an inflection point: the convergence of technology and market trends has enabled a sensors renaissance and created a window of opportunity for the field of Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Hygiene (IH/OH).
To effectively engage in this new era, IH/OH professionals and allied stakeholders need to understand these enabling technology shifts and act, together. We, as a community, can help decide how best to accelerate the adoption of the most promising and appropriate sensing technologies in the next few years and beyond.
