Safety gear compliance checks
Use existing cameras to spot when required safety gear, such as hard hats or high-visibility vests, is missing in a defined area, and alert the area supervisor without identifying anyone.
Where it starts
The trigger.
People enter a zone where safety gear is required, such as a site entrance, loading bay or production line.
How it runs today
- Supervisors cannot watch every entrance and zone at once.
- Safety walks catch problems after the fact.
- Near misses are recorded inconsistently, so patterns stay hidden.
The workflow
Four bounded steps.
Each step has an owner and a stop rule.
- 01 / Define
Mark the zones and the gear required in each, with the supervisor responsible.
- 02 / Detect
Check camera frames in those zones for the required gear, without recognizing who anyone is.
- 03 / Alert
Notify the zone supervisor with a short clip or still when gear appears to be missing.
- 04 / Review
Supervisors confirm or dismiss alerts and review weekly patterns by zone and time.
Where people stay in control
Approval points.
- Supervisors decide every response; the system never disciplines anyone.
- No facial recognition; footage is kept only as long as the agreed retention period.
How we would measure it
Against a baseline.
Measured before and after, on the same work.
Share of alerts confirmed by supervisors.
Missing-gear events by zone and shift, before and after.
Time from alert to response.

Visual quality inspection
Check parts or products from camera images for visible defects or missing components, and send uncertain cases to an inspector instead of guessing.

# Safety gear compliance checks
Use existing cameras to spot when required safety gear, such as hard hats or high-visibility vests, is missing in a defined area, and alert the area supervisor without identifying anyone.

Where it starts
## The trigger.
People enter a zone where safety gear is required, such as a site entrance, loading bay or production line.
How it runs today
- Supervisors cannot watch every entrance and zone at once.
- Safety walks catch problems after the fact.
- Near misses are recorded inconsistently, so patterns stay hidden.
The workflow
## Four bounded steps.
Each step has an owner and a stop rule.
1. 01 / Define
Mark the zones and the gear required in each, with the supervisor responsible.
2. 02 / Detect
Check camera frames in those zones for the required gear, without recognizing who anyone is.
3. 03 / Alert
Notify the zone supervisor with a short clip or still when gear appears to be missing.
4. 04 / Review
Supervisors confirm or dismiss alerts and review weekly patterns by zone and time.
Where people stay in control
## Approval points.
- Supervisors decide every response; the system never disciplines anyone.
- No facial recognition; footage is kept only as long as the agreed retention period.
How we would measure it
## Against a baseline.
Measured before and after, on the same work.
### Share of alerts confirmed by supervisors.
### Missing-gear events by zone and shift, before and after.
### Time from alert to response.
