Thursday 1 PM. Roofer collapsed while installing solar-ready IoT sensors. Heat stroke on black membrane roof. $410,000 settlement. His smartwatch recorded core temperature spiking for 34 minutes during sensor mounting. No supervisor saw the data. Most roofing IoT installation incidents are preventable with real-time biometric monitoring. Start free with OxMaint CMMS.

Protect Your Roofing IoT CrewsCut rooftop incidents by 93% with real-time biometric monitoring.
Rooftop IoT installation combines extreme heat exposure with fall hazards at height. Black membrane roofs reach 160°F+ in summer. Techs installing smart sensors, weather stations, and solar monitoring equipment face radiant heat from below and direct sun above. Real-time monitoring catches heat stress before workers collapse on rooftops where rescue is difficult.

Six Vital Signs We Track During Rooftop IoT Work
Every wearable monitors these metrics during sensor installation on hot roofs. Dashboard alerts supervisors before emergencies happen.
01
Core Temperature
Priority metric - roof surfaces add 20-40°F to ambient heat
02
Heart Rate on Roof
Sustained above 140 BPM during sensor mounting triggers alert
03
Hydration Tracking
HRV patterns indicate dehydration building in extreme heat
04
Motion Near Edge
GPS + accelerometer detect movement patterns near roof edges
05
Fall Detection
Instant alert if tech falls from roof or through skylight
06
Time on Roof
Automatic rotation alerts after 45 min on hot surfaces
