Abstract: A computer-based method is provided for evaluating risk for workers. The method includes receiving, at a processor, a first signal from a first wearable device. The first signal is received from a first wearable device and is indicative of vertical acceleration detected by the first wearable device over time. The method then identifies, in the first signal, an indication of weightlessness at the first wearable device. Upon detecting the indication of weightlessness, the method proceeds to determine an amount of time associated with the indication of weightlessness and then determines a risk metric associated with the indication of weightlessness based on the amount of time associated with the indication of weightlessness.

Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring workplace safety and evaluating risks is provided, the method comprising receiving signals from at least one wearable device, identifying portions of the signals corresponding to physical activities, excerpting the portions of the signals corresponding to the physical activities, and calculating risk metrics based on measurements extracted from the excerpted portions of the signals, the risk metric indicative of high risk lifting activities.
