Abstract
A method and system are provided. The method includes generating a set of workplace predictors of risk relating to accidents, injury, and industrial hygiene, based on at least one employee state that includes at least one of a physical state, a cognitive state, and an emotional state. The method further includes collecting data for an elevated risk of a workplace accident at a work location responsive to the set of workplace predictors. The data includes employee data for employees involved in the elevated risk and workplace machinery data for workplace machinery involved in the elevated risk. The method also includes automatically dispatching the data to first responders using one or more hardware-based information dispatching devices.
