AI safety detection

AI that spots PPE gaps, zone breaches and plant risks

VISION watches inspection camera feeds for missing PPE, people inside exclusion zones, people close to machinery and visible smoke. Every detection is raised as a potential hazard and confirmed by a competent person before anyone acts.

Illustrative image

Missing safety helmet

Flags a person whose head shows no hard hat and attaches the evidence frame. Trained on construction-PPE imagery.

Works best with a clear view of the person; distance, angle and occlusion matter.

Missing high-visibility vest

Flags a person without a hi-vis vest or garment in view.

Clear, well-lit views give the most reliable results.

Restricted or exclusion-zone entry

On a fixed camera, a supervisor draws the zone on the image. A person detected inside it becomes a potential hazard.

If the camera is moved, the zone is simply redrawn.

Person near machinery

Flags people close to excavators, dump trucks and bulldozers in the image.

Closeness in an image is not measured distance, so these findings are always confirmed by a reviewer.

Visible smoke

Flags visible smoke in outdoor scenes so it can be checked quickly.

Dust and haze can resemble smoke, so every alert is reviewed.

Inspector-raised findings

Inspectors tag any hazard by hand with a photo, video clip and note. It follows the same review and reporting path as AI findings.

Simulation and training

Scenario library for training and demonstrations

Simulation sessions cover a wider set of site conditions for inductions, toolbox talks and exhibitions — always kept separate from live records.

Fall hazards

Unprotected edges, floor openings and missing guardrails.

Site conditions

Ladder use, blocked walkways and exits, excavation barricades and suspended loads.

From detection to finding

How a detection becomes something a person reviews

  1. 1

    Detect

    The model finds people, PPE, plant or smoke in each sampled frame.

  2. 2

    Persist

    An object is followed across frames; a potential hazard is raised only when it persists, not on a single flicker.

  3. 3

    De-duplicate

    The same hazard on the same person is not raised over and over.

  4. 4

    Review

    The finding waits as “potential” until a competent person confirms or dismisses it.

Getting the best results

What to know about AI detection

VISION assists competent HSE professionals. An AI detection is a potential hazard until a person confirms it.

  • No AI detector is perfect: some hazards can be missed and some detections will not be hazards. That is why every finding is reviewed.
  • Lighting, distance, camera angle, occlusion and unusual PPE colours all affect results.
  • Detections describe what is visible in an image. They do not measure distance, identify people or know site context such as permits.
  • Confidence thresholds, persistence rules and severities are configured per project.
  • We walk you through detection performance on footage like yours during a demonstration.
