Abstract

The fourth industrial revolution has encouraged technologies such as the RFID fused with mobile software for monitoring construction workers on site. In this dataset, a structured questionnaire was design directed to thirty-four (34) construction professionals in Gauteng province South Africa through random sampling. The set of descriptive statistics is presented with tables, bar and pie charts. The willingness level of construction professionals to adopt RFID and mobile technology on construction sites was identified. The barriers to the adoption of fusing mobile technology and RFID for construction safety can be determined when the data is analyzed. Moreover, the construction professional's agreement with RFID as a tool for preventing health hazards on construction sites can be obtained from the analysis of the survey data.
