Even though working conditions are getting better in many countries, technological advancement and the increasing complexity of many production processes pose new dangers to workers. This puts workers' lives and health at risk and has unavoidable effects on labor productivity and the economy, thus, occupational safety and health is critical for workers, companies, workers unions, national institutes for occupational safety and health and countries, since those countries with better conditions of safety at work perform better in terms of competitiveness.

As technology continues to advance, the realm of biometric applications has emerged as a promising avenue for revolutionizing security and convenience in various industries. Biometrics, the science of measuring and analyzing unique biological characteristics, provides a robust means of identifying and authenticating individuals. This paper delves into the vast landscape of biometric applications, exploring their potential to enhance security and convenience across different sectors.

Advancements in biometric sensors were already shaping the landscape of identification and security systems. However, it is essential to note that further developments might have occurred since then. Here's a brief overview of the potential advancements up to that point. Biometric sensors, such as fingerprint scanners, iris scanners, and facial recognition systems, have seen significant improvements in accuracy and reliability. This ensures more precise identification and reduces the chances of false positives and false negatives.
