Global workplace injury costs exceed $250B annually, highlighting the urgent need for real-time safety systems.
But relying on manual checks is slow and prone to mistakes. FPMcCann recognized this challenge:
they needed a smarter way to keep tabs on safety gear, quickly and accurately. So, they set out to create PPE Detection, an automated solution.
As the AI and software partner, we built a real-time workplace safety monitoring solution to detect PPE non-compliance and control access to restricted areas using AI and computer vision.
The system utilizes object detection models trained to recognize helmets, vests, gloves, and masks. It also monitors zone boundaries through geofencing and camera-based motion detection.
We developed the solution with CCTV integration, YOLO-based AI detection, and a central dashboard that enables real-time alerts, safety logs, and compliance reporting for supervisors and safety officers.
As workers arrive at the facility, each one is required to wear the appropriate PPE before crossing into the operational zone. This initial checkpoint is the foundation of proactive safety enforcement.
CCTV cameras installed at key access points record high-resolution frames of every individual. These visuals are immediately sent to the AI system for real-time inspection.
Powered by YOLOv7, the system rapidly detects individuals and scans for essential safety gear like helmets, vests, and gloves. Its deep learning core ensures fast, accurate identification with minimal false positives.
The system maps each person’s PPE status against a site-specific compliance matrix. This ensures that all required gear is present according to job role and risk classification.
If any PPE item is missing, the system flags the instance and sends alert notifications to supervisors. Alerts include visual evidence, timestamps, and location metadata for rapid intervention.
All incidents and safe entries are recorded in a centralized dashboard. Safety teams can view logs, track trends, and export reports for audits or internal reviews.
By eliminating manual checks, the solution enforces safety continuously and without bias. This automation reduces risk exposure and cultivates a culture of accountability.
