Smart Body Temperature Meter? Construction site heatwave response essential safety equipment guide
In the construction site, the prevention of heat diseases due to summer heatwaves is an important safety management item. In particular, With the implementation of the revised rules on occupational safety and health standards from July 17, 2025, , In workplaces where heatwave activity is expected, temperature measurement and records management have become even more important.
Now, more than just checking the temperature in the field, The risk of heat waves should be determined and responded to based on the sensory temperature the worker actually feels. In this article, we will discuss what a smart body thermometer is, why it is necessary for a construction site, And let's summarize what criteria to choose.
What is theSmart Body Temperature Meter?
Smart body thermometers aren't just for measuring temperature and humidity. Based on IoT, it collects on-site temperature and humidity data in real time, The measurement results are stored on an online platform. It is a smart safety management equipment that can be linked to the manager alarm and the display guide.
The existing general thermo-hygrometer required a person in charge to visit the site to check and record the figures. This can result in missing records, handwritten errors, blank measurement cycles, etc. On the other hand, smart body temperature thermometers can be automated from measurement to storage, notification, and site guidance. Reduce the workload of site managers and improve safety management efficiency.

What has changed in the field as a result of the law revision
In the revised rules on occupational safety and health standards, the definition of heatwave operation and the health measures of the employer have been specified. Heatwave operation refers to prolonged work in a workplace with a body temperature of 31 degrees or more.
Accordingly, the employer prepares measuring devices such as a thermo-hygrometer in a place where heatwave work is expected. The sensory temperature and measures should be recorded and managed. In addition, workers should be informed of methods, symptoms, and first aid measures to prevent heat disease.
Sensory Temperature Step-by-Step Key Measures
Feels like 31 degrees or above
- Temperature and Humidity Control Installation and Operation
- working time zone adjustment
- Give proper breaks
Feels like more than 33 degrees
- 20 + minute break within every 2 hours
- or temperature increase reduction measures such as refrigerator provision and wearing
Feels like 35 degrees or above
- Recommendation to rest in a rest area for at least 15 minutes every hour
- High-risk heatwave response required, such as stopping outdoor work during heat periods
- Intensive management of heat-sensitive groups and new workers required
It also provides a shady place to use during breaks when working outdoors with heatwave exposure. In places where you can feel the heat, it is necessary to have salt, ice water, cool drinks, etc.
Difference between normal and smart thermometer
| classification | General Temperature and Humidity Meter | Smart Body Thermometer |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature and humidity measurement | available | available |
| Manage body temperature | Manual confirmation required | Meteorological Agency Sensing Temperature Information Linkable |
| Data Storage | manual recording required | Online Platform Autosave |
| Administrator's Alarm | None | step-by-step alarm support |
| display interlocking | not allowed | Action Points and Phrases Displayable |
| Site Guide | separate instructions required | Live guidance withdisplay |
| Records Management | personnel manual work | System Based Management |
A normal thermohygrometer can be used for simple measurements. There are limitations to the integrated management of site-specific temperature management, data storage, manager notifications, and worker guidance. Smart sensory thermometers can automate these parts, increasing the effectiveness of site safety management.
Criteria to check when selectingSmart Body Thermometer
1. Measurement reliability
Temperature control starts with accurate temperature and humidity measurements. It is advisable to ensure that you are using a Kolas calibration thermohygrometer and that you have the correct sensor structure for your site environment.
2. Data storage function
Keeping track of your body temperature and actions is important. If the measurement data is automatically stored on an online platform or server, Allows site managers to reduce the burden of keeping separate handwritten records.
3. Admin Alarm Function
Managers should be notified immediately when the temperature exceeds a certain level, so they can respond quickly. You need to make sure that you can set alerts based on the level of risk, such as 31 degrees, 33 degrees, 35 degrees, etc.
4. Display function
At construction sites, it is important that workers are immediately aware of the level of risk. If you can display the body temperature, heat wave stage, behavioral tips, and safety phrases on the display, Helps with on-site autonomous safety management.
5. Field Environment Compatibility
Because the external environment of the construction site is rough, such as dust, vibration, rainstorms, and direct sunlight, It is important to select equipment designed for field use. It is also a good idea to check if the mobile installation is possible and if it can be interfaced with the optional equipment.
What to look for in practice after installingThe installation of a smart body temperature thermometer does not automatically end all safety management duties. On site, equipment installation location, data verification cycle, worker training, rest facility operation, etc. must be managed together.
- must be installed in the main workplace where the worker actually works. As in the
- Management Office, installation of a different location from the actual working environment should be avoided.
- Afternoon high-temperature time zone data should be verified for normal recording. The communication status with the
- sensor should be checked regularly.
- The management of vulnerable groups with thermal diseases, such as new workers and older workers, should be accompanied.
- Basic heatwave response measures such as breaks, drinks, and shades should also be operated.
