PPE Compliance Using Video Analytics

PPE video analytics ensure staff and visitors do not stray into working areas without sufficient health and safety precautions. As soon as someone crosses over into a working area, then analytics in the surveillance system will detect whether or not that person is wearing sufficient PPE, such as hi-vis jacket, hard hat and eyewear. If they are not, then a report is sent in real time to site manager or safety officer, for example as an alert to their mobile phone, and in addition an audio visual alert can be set to sound out, warning the employee or visitor to exit the area.
