Overview
Traditional PPE compliance monitoring relies on supervisory observation, a resource-intensive approach that misses violations when supervisors aren't present. AI-powered PPE detection uses computer vision to continuously monitor work areas, identifying workers not wearing required PPE.
Cameras analyse video feeds in real-time, detecting hard hats, high-visibility vests, safety glasses, gloves, and respiratory protection. When non-compliance is detected, the system captures photo evidence and sends immediate alerts to supervisors enabling rapid intervention.
Compliance analytics track PPE usage trends by location, shift, and individual worker. This data identifies areas requiring additional training or enforcement, whilst demonstrating due diligence to regulators and insurers.
