Developing Computer-Assisted Safety Systems: A Mobile Safety Support System for Confined Spaces

Some working environments are defined ooder the Occupational Scifety & Health Act (1994; OSHA) as confmed spaces. ( e,g: storage tank interiors, drainage systems, manholes etc). Many workers lack awareness of safe working procedures in confined spaces. Further hazards, associated with this wo...
