Why Generator Teams Need Biometric Monitoring

Backup generator work means exhaust fumes, confined spaces, and extreme noise. Fuel handling, electrical hazards, and carbon monoxide exposure. Your crew works where air quality kills silently. Real-time vitals monitoring catches problems before they become fatalities.

Six Vital Signs We Track

Every wearable monitors these metrics. Your dashboard alerts supervisors before emergencies happen.

01
Blood Oxygen Drop

SpO2 below 95% triggers immediate CO exposure alert

02
Heart Rate Spike

Sustained above 145 BPM indicates stress or exposure

03
Core Temperature

Skin temp trends show heat buildup in engine rooms

04
Motion Detection

No movement 3+ min near running generator triggers check

05
Fatigue Patterns

HRV analysis reveals exhaustion during long outages

06
Fall Detection

Accelerometer senses collapse from fume exposure

Can workers see their data?
Yes. Technicians get personal alerts including oxygen levels and break reminders. Supervisors see full crew dashboard.
What about privacy?
Data used only for safety during work hours. No personal health info stored. Workers can opt out.
How fast are alerts?
Under 3 seconds. Yellow alerts on dashboard. Red alerts trigger calls and SMS simultaneously.
Does this lower insurance?
Yes. Most insurers offer 10-18% premium reduction. ROI typically under 30 days.
Works during outages?
Yes. Cellular backup ensures monitoring continues even when site power is down.
