A 'neckband-type wearable camera' capable of 360-degree shooting has been introduced at construction sites to ensure safety.

The neckband-type wearable camera is a smart safety technology introduced by Lotte Construction to strengthen on-site safety management. Unlike action cams currently used at construction sites, it is worn around the neck, freeing both hands and improving the efficiency of safety management tasks.

It can manage hazardous work and blind spots that are usually unnoticed within the construction site, and it supports video recording and real-time streaming, allowing anyone to manage safety anytime and anywhere.

From the office, it is possible to remotely diagnose and support inspections of on-site conditions in real time during construction equipment operations such as tower crane installation, lifting, and dismantling through the camera. Recorded videos will be used as educational materials. On-site, real-time video sharing during high-risk work will strengthen close and continuous management.

A safety manager from Lotte Construction is inspecting the site using a smart safety management application.

A Lotte Construction official stated, "We plan to analyze the operational effects of the wearable camera and utilize it to enhance on-site safety management."

Meanwhile, the smart safety management application introduced by Lotte Construction since 2016 has improved work efficiency by overcoming spatial constraints of safety management and performing safety tasks in a timely manner.

Additionally, through the application, managers from Lotte Construction and partner companies can check high-risk work items on site and assign responsible managers according to accident risk levels to carry out inspection activities. The responsible managers check risk factors before work begins, register them in the smart application, and verify whether safety measures are being implemented during the work, thereby strengthening safety management activities before, during, and after work.
