Barcelona introduces heat-monitoring bracelets for its outdoor workers
Barcelona hands out heat-monitoring bracelets to its outdoor workers to act as an early warning system for health risks. The city has rolled out around 1,400 bracelets for staff working outdoors, including street cleaners, lighting crews, park workers and waste management employees. It is part of a push to adapt to "increasingly aggressive" climate change, said Pep Llimona, prevention coordinator of the city's parks and gardens service. The bracelet measures the workers' body temperature and emits a sound and vibration if it senses that the wearer is at risk. If that happens, they have to stop working. Pep Llimona said the plan to introduce heat bracelets had already been in train before the woman's death.
