Abstract

Introduction: This study explores the implementation of IoT Monitoring Systems to improve occupational safety in Costa Rica. It focuses on how these technologies can prevent occupational hazards and promote a safe working environment. Research Question/Objectives: To evaluate the challenges in occupational safety in Costa Rica and how the implementation of IoT systems can offer effective solutions. It aims to understand the impact of these technologies in preventing accidents and promoting safe work practices. Methodology: A qualitative approach was used, integrating theories and practices in the analysis of IoT monitoring systems. Interviews and case studies were conducted, complemented by real-time analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of IoT systems in occupational safety. This methodology allows for a detailed understanding of the interaction between technology and safety measures. Results: The research reveals that the adoption of IoT monitoring systems significantly improves occupational safety in Costa Rica, reducing the risks and costs associated with workplace accidents. These findings are supported by the applied methodology and the analyzed case studies. Final Considerations: The qualitative methodology used highlights the importance of linking theories and practices to address occupational safety through IoT technology. The results demonstrate that an integrated strategy, combining advanced technology with existing safety practices, can substantially improve working conditions. This study underscores the need for a coherent methodological approach to effectively integrate technological solutions into occupational safety, thus contributing to a safer and more technologically advanced work environment in Costa Rica.
