Study on the positioning of a smart sensor for the assessment of UV radiation exposure in outdoor workers

Abstract

The assessment of UV radiation exposure in outdoor workers is feasible by means of smart sensors that avail of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Using wearable sensors, the single workers’ exposure can be effectively assessed in the whole body. This work investigated the best position of the sensor on the workers’ body, considering the aim of the sensor, its functioning and workers’ comfort.
