In order to gain competitiveness and compete at a g lobal level, construction companies should improve their efficiency. The problem is even more relevant in the construction field, whose work processes find it hard to evolve towards new automa ed methods and techniques in the management field. For that reason, this paper suggests how constructi on companies could apply new technologies to implement automated management of environmental haz ards. Based on a survey regarding the environmental risks pre ently experienced in construction sites, noise and dust were considered two of the main haza rds. So in this paper a networked system for real t ime remote monitoring of the spatial distribution of du st in construction sites was developed. Such a syst em would relieve builders from the commitment of on-si te surveys, allowing for a continuous monitoring of the site conditions and of the real exposure of eac h worker and pass-by to the pollutants generated by construction works. The main system requirements co nsidered are: easy to deploy, reliable, as accurate as needed to be able to send real-time warnings and st ore a good estimation of the real exposure to which involved people have been subject to. So far the research produced a prototypical hardwar e for dust monitoring made up of wireless sensors which can be easily deployed on site. The s ensors were calibrated by means of laboratory tests , where their measurements were compared with those c ll cted by means of highly accurate instruments, which were taken as a reference. Thanks to these ex p riments, calibration curves for the sensors were worked out, showing also the measurement range of t he sensors.
