When an active petrochemical plant recruits as many as 1,000 temporary workers for pre-turnaround work, logistical challenges arise. Using wearable devices can help to improve safety outcomes by providing real-time site information. But can they increase efficiency as well?

Triax Technologies’ Spot-r Mesh solution supplied by United Rentals were already in use at the site.
