KEPCO KDN Monitors Employee Safety and Health with IoT 'Health Band'

On the 14th of last month, KEPCO KDN awarded health bands to volunteers and took commemorative photos.

[Asia Economy Reporter Joo Sang-don] On the 6th, KEPCO KDN announced that it is introducing and operating an Internet of Things (IoT)-based 'Health Support System' for facility managers engaged in security duties requiring shift work and cleaning staff who routinely start work early. The purpose is to strengthen proactive measures against safety accidents through systematic management of facility management workers who may be exposed to safety blind spots due to overnight shifts and early arrivals.

The health status of security and cleaning workers is monitored in real-time through 'health bands.' Health information such as body temperature, heart rate, location data, oxygen saturation, and heart rate variability during work is frequently checked to enable prevention of potential safety accidents.

To this end, KEPCO KDN held an explanatory session to inform participants about the system's purpose and functions and obtained their consent before conducting a band distribution ceremony for volunteers on the 14th of last month. KEPCO KDN plans to encourage active participation from the individuals involved and expand the system to all facility management workers in the future.
