Description

Safety Hazard Detection uses AI to perform detection on video, sensor, inspection, permit-to-work, and near-miss signals, enabling earlier prevention of workplace safety incidents, by comparing site activity with safety rules, learned norms, restricted zones, and hazardous-condition thresholds, across EHS operations and site safety workflows.

Business Problem

Safety teams cannot continuously observe every work area, permit condition, and near-miss signal across large sites. Hazards such as missing protective equipment, unsafe proximity, spills, or blocked exits can persist until an inspection or incident occurs.

Solution

The AI performs detection on video, sensor, inspection, and permit-to-work signals and produces flagged safety hazards with location, time, and rule context. The output is routed for human review and site intervention.

Expected Value

The primary metric is recordable incident rate; the target direction is lower incident rate and shorter hazard response time.

Prerequisites
  • Site video, sensor, inspection, permit-to-work, zone, and safety rule data are available for the monitored areas.
  • EHS, security, or operations systems can receive hazard alerts and record reviewer actions.
  • Worker privacy, signage, works council, and safety governance requirements are approved before monitoring begins.
