Field Safety Computer Vision

In one sentence

Uses the cameras already installed to spot missing protective equipment, people in restricted zones and unsafe proximity to lifting operations.

The problem

CCTV on a site is recorded and reviewed after an incident. A supervisor cannot watch forty screens, so the cameras function as an investigation tool rather than a prevention tool.

How it works

Detection and tracking models run on an edge GPU at the site, evaluating each camera against configured rules: protective equipment by zone, exclusion zones around lifting and hot work, man-down detection. Video never leaves the site and only the event record — timestamp, camera, rule, cropped frame — is stored, with retention set by the operator.

Data required

  • Existing IP cameras with adequate resolution and framing for the zones of interest
  • Site layout with zone definitions and applicable rules per zone
  • Edge GPU appliance at the site
  • A labelled sample of site imagery for tuning to local equipment and clothing

What you get

  • Real-time alerts to the control room and the HSE supervisor’s device
  • Leading-indicator dashboard by zone, shift and rule
  • Evidence package for toolbox talks, with faces blurred by default

What it cannot do

Detection accuracy falls at night, in dust and rain, and at long range, and a camera framed for general surveillance is frequently not framed well enough for a reliable protective-equipment call. Typical deployments need some camera repositioning. This produces leading indicators for supervision and is not a safety instrumented function.

Every capability page states a real limitation. If a vendor cannot tell you where their product stops, you are not being told the truth about where it starts.
