aceArtificial intelligence and personal protective equipment: a scoping review
Objectives . Smart technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), have significant potential to enhance occupational health and safety programs. This scoping review examines AI applications in personal protective equipment (PPE). Methods. Following Arksey and O'Malley's framework, PubMed, Web of Science and Google Scholar were systematically searched for peer-reviewed studies published between 2010 and 2024. Two independent reviewers screened 277 records, and 47 stud…
AI combined with protective equipment, through compliance detection, supply management and sensor-based smart gear, has shown promising results for improving worker safety across several high-risk industries.
The authors say the field is still emerging and needs further research and wider industrial implementation, so the evidence for realized injury and illness prevention is still developing.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1756 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
