Properly implemented AI-enabled safety systems use cameras to monitor conditions in the workplace and identify hazards. Rather than relying solely on workers to report incidents, AI solutions can detect objects such as personal protective equipment and monitor its usage.
Suppose an employee is detected without proper PPE. AI can automatically alert supervisors to promote safer practices among their teams. Similarly, a well-tuned AI system can automatically trigger an emergency response in the event of a fire, man-down scenario, etc., providing a secondary layer of protection.
As safety-related objects and events are detected, Teknoir’s workplace safety applications can record and track their frequency. Analytics describing the number of events occurring over time can then provide managers and executives with critical information about the success of their safety training and adherence to established policies and procedures among employees.
AI-based visual monitoring solutions minimize observational gaps. Continuous video streams combined with fully automated monitoring of risk-prone behaviors enable organizations to detect potential and active events while no one is actively watching. This also provides a more accurate quantification of risk.
The most obvious benefit to using an AI-based safety system is the incorporation of additional layers of protection to keep your employees and their working environments safe. These mechanisms quantify safety-related events to improve administrative and engineering layers of protection.
Ongoing use of AI-based safety systems can result in lower costs due to unplanned downtime following safety incidents, and reductions in overall incident frequency also help reduce liability insurance premiums.
When safety-related events are captured via continuous monitoring, your organization can use the resulting data to drive policy decisions and encourage specific behavioral changes to keep your employees safe.
Teknoir’s latest worker safety applications are easy to deploy with new and existing cameras to detect Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and monitor risk-prone behaviors in the workplace.
