Abstract
A method of determining the likelihood of a slip or fall comprises receiving, by a detection application stored in a non-transitory memory and executed on a processor, a plurality of sensor readings from a plurality of movement sensors, comparing, by the detection application, the plurality of sensor readings with a plurality of movement patterns stored in a database, determining, by the detection application, that at least one of the movement patterns of the plurality of movement patterns matches the plurality of sensor readings, and generating, by the detection application, an indication that a slip or fall is likely based on the plurality of sensor readings. The plurality of movement sensors is associated with different areas of a worker's body.
