Summary/Abstract: Concentrations and intensities of harmful factors in the work environment must be tested and assessed for hazards caused to employees. In conditions of changing parameters of the working environment, detection of potential threats and quick action to reduce employee exposure is possible based on the continuous monitoring of working environment parameters. Wireless sensor networks can be used for this purpose. The article discusses the structure and main issues of the sensor network being developed at CIOP-PIB to monitor the work environment and warn employees about hazards. The method used to locate the warned employee within the sensor network was presented, as well as the results of radio signal strength measurements, on which this method works.
