Improvement of occupational safety systems by the aplication of augmented reality technologies

The paper explores possibilities for application of Augmented reality technologies in systems for occupational safety in the technological process of Power plant Ugljevik. We first analyze factors specific for this technological process and then specify and define factors that cause the increase of risk in the work at particular work places. The specified sources of risk and an estimate of their influence to the total risk are a basis upon which the necessary protection measures are defined including both the organizational and technical aspects of the related procedures. It is proposed an improvement of the occupational safety systems by the usage of Augmented Reality (AR) technologies. As a case study, it is developed the occupational safety system for the work at the universal lathe that is an element of the technological process at the Power plant Ugljevik.
