Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article examines the application of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to enhance safety levels in the construction industry. The main causes of accidents at construction sites are analyzed, and innovative solutions based on IoT devices are proposed. As an example, the intelligent «Smart Helmet» with integrated sensors for environmental monitoring and worker condition assessment is considered. The advantages of IoT solutions, their impact on reducing injury rates, and examples of successful implementation in various countries are studied. The work also examines methodological aspects of evaluating the effectiveness of IoT system implementation and provides recommendations for their adaptation in Kazakhstan.
