Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a common consideration in many workplaces, often linked to repetitive motions, high-exertion activities and ergonomic conditions. Supporting employee comfort and productivity through proactive ergonomic strategies is essential to building a safe, sustainable work environment. In 2024, ADNOC took a proactive step in refining its approach to managing MSDs by implementing AI-powered 3D motion capture software. This cutting-edge technology evaluates recorded job tasks to identify ergonomic risk factors and identify opportunities to better support employees engaged in physically demanding or repetitive work. ADNOC launched the smart helmet initiative to advance real-time monitoring and support worker protection. Equipped with AI-powered sensors, the helmet monitors critical parameters such as body temperature, fatigue levels and PPE compliance, to help markedly reduce risks and enhance safety oversight. ADNOC Offshore's smart helmet solution earned the “Best Health, Safety or Environmental Contribution, Midstream Award” at the Gulf Energy Excellence Awards 2024. Twelve operating companies within ADNOC assessed > 630 jobs utilizing this advanced system. The assessment identified multiple opportunities to improve comfort, efficiency and ergonomics by refining equipment design, workstation setup and workflow practices. To address these opportunities, ADNOC developed a comprehensive improvement plan, which included: Task optimization: refining job tasks to promote ease of movement and reduce unnecessary physical exertion. Coaching: providing training and guidance to employees on optimal ergonomic practices. Equipment upgrades: investing in ergonomically designed tools and equipment. Process elimination: removing or redesigning processes to support ergonomics and reduce the potential for repetitive strain. By the end of 2024, over 35% of the identified improvements had been successfully executed. These initiatives have not only diminished the risk of MSDs but also enhanced overall workplace safety and productivity.
