The winner of the Gold Award in Safety category was Bahru Stainless for the project "Smart Safety Zone."
This initiative improved worker safety through the use of barriers with intelligent sensors, which effectively reduce accidents and injuries thanks to the early detection and reaction to human presence and movements. You can read more about the project here.
