In last decade, many Cyber Physical Systems CPSs for occupational safety have been developed within research programs funded by national and transnational bodies. Many of them are now ready for the market. The paper focuses on the industrial sectors, where the safety of the worker and the safety of machines, equipment and processes are linked each other. The papers proposes to safety managers criteria and suggestions for choosing appropriate CPS for seizing the great opportunities for safety improvement. The paper discusses a few issues, including cybersecurity and privacy, which are critical for a successful implementation of the CPSs in occupational safety. Safety Management System SMS, in particular, must be adequate to collect the amount of data generated by many sensors distributed in work ambient and worn by workers.

Localization and tracking are fundamental features in emergency response operations, where the mission leader needs to be aware of the team location. This paper addresses the localization for rescuers by exploiting wireless sensor networks embedded in the environment. Specifically, a pre-deployed network is considered and a localization algorithm is designed to find the location of the node and to track the rescuers cooperatively. Nodes estimate their own positions, while rescuers improve and augment their location awareness during mission by navigating across via points suggested by the network, thus improving the overall localizability. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the approach
