Personal Protection Equipment and safety standards are very important to ensure safety of employees.  But due to manual processes, organizations are finding it hard to monitor whether or not safety standards are followed by employees. Artificial intelligence-powered computer vision cameras help organizations effectively manage personal protective equipment and safety standards.

Monitor Employee Movement

An intelligent computer visioning system automates the entire process of monitoring employee movement within dangerous environments throughout the facility in an autonomous way. If any employees fall or get injured  on the work site, the computer vision system immediately notify health and safety managers. 

Ensure Employees Wear Proper PPE

An AI-powered computer-vision solution supervises the entire workplace to make sure employees wear PPE and follow all safety compliance processes. Computer Vision systems support the ability to actively identify PPE gear, analyse response activities, dispatch times, best practices and other data points relevant to health and safety requirements.

The Cost of PPE Violations

Employees in the manufacturing industry can be exposed to toxic environments and moving machinery. Government or local authorities provide organizations with safety and PPE guidelines. Any violation of these guidelines can result in steep fines. Organizations often get penalized as they find it difficult to follow these safety guidelines because checking employees all the time is just not possible manually. AI algorithms can automate the entire process and alert health and safety managers of any PPE violations.
