An exemplary method and system is disclosed that facilitates the monitoring of worker's productivity and safety, for example, at a construction site and other like labor-intensive occupation and settings. The exemplary method and system provides wearable-based motion sensing and/or proximity sensing between worker and construction equipment. A study discussed herein suggests that sensing at two or more torso locations can provide 95% accuracy in classifying worker's action or motion at a construction site. In some embodiments, as discussed herein, the acquired sensed data are transmitted, over a mesh network, e.g., established between the wearable devices, to a cloud infrastructure to facilitate the real-time monitoring of action and actions that such sites.
