Safety in construction has long been a matter of concern to all engaged with the industry. Especially in the current times when health, safety and environment (HSE) has been at the top of mind of all in the crucial industries; construction safety has become even more important.
In this regard,ConTech start-ups like viAct has emerged with a range of construction safety solutions that leverage the power of AI for workplace safety to mitigate the various safety issues prevailing in the industry. These construction safety solutions use the power of advanced technologies like AI and its subsidiaries like video analytics to offer a smart site safety system (SSSS) that makes safety monitoring in construction both easy as well as efficient.
Given below are a few construction safety solutions:
- PPE Detection: AI video analytics can identify different kinds of PPEs like safety vests, helmets, masks, etc. It can also detect whether or not the workers are wearing (proper) PPEs. In case the smart AI cameras detects any PPE non-compliance on the part of the workers, instant and real-time alerts are sent out, notifying the concerned stakeholders of the non-compliance. This allows the stakeholders to take corrective measures on time to prevent any injury to the workers; thus, offering an effective PPE Detection Solution for Construction.
- Danger Zone Access Control:The AI safety monitoring system can also detect any instance of worker(s)/ people entering into or moving near danger zones like holes, machine operation areas, wet floor, tower crane lifting zone, fencings, etc.In such cases, it sends out danger zone detection alert, notifying the stakeholders of the danger zone intrusion. This enables them to anticipate risks and mitigate them before it is too late.
- Confined Space Safety Monitoring: Safety monitoring using AI can help increase transparency in the confined space works that in turn helps ensure better safety compliance in confined space works. The confined space monitoring system combines the power of AI and vision intelligence, to help stakeholders track the real-time happenings inside the confined spaces like detect flowing solids and liquids,track atmospheric changes,monitor and control confined space entry access, alert extreme temperatures and such others merely sitting in the control room. Thus, the smart site safety system (SSSS)gives the stakeholders a better control over the confined space works.
- Digitized Tracking System:For ensuring holistic safety in construction jobsites, it is critical to ensure safety of the 3M’s of construction – men, machine and materials. The SSSS allows real-time tracking of the site plants, powered tools and ladders through digital identification that provides up-to-date status of test certification, examination, checking and maintenance of tools. This helps in the maintenance of equipment in construction sites and even plants.
- Work at Height Safety Monitoring: The digitized construction tracking system also facilitates work at height safety monitoringto prevent falls from height (FFHs) as well as slip, trips and falls (STPs). Further, the centralized management platform for workplacesrecords all the instances of safety non-compliances that can be later used by the stakeholders for training the workers as well as for undertakingrisk-based enforcement action at the blackspots
Apart from the ones mentioned above, the smart construction safety solutions also include digitized permit-to-work system (PTWs), tower crane lifting zone safety, modular integrated construction (MiC) safety and lot more.
