Singapore Construction Giant Increases Safety Score by 10× with Multi-Module AI Deployment by viAct
A top construction giant in Singapore, managing multiple high-rise and infrastructure projects, faced an urgent need to raise its safety performance. Traditional safety checks and manual audits were no longer sufficient to prevent risks such as PPE non-compliance, near misses with heavy machinery, and hazards at open edges or confined spaces. To overcome these challenges, the company adopted viAct AI-powered safety modules, transforming its approach to workplace safety within a year.

The Challenge
Improving safety performance across complex, high-risk construction projects
The Singapore construction giant manages some of the nation’s most complex high-rise and infrastructure projects, where safety risks are constant and unforgiving. Despite routine audits and established safety protocols, supervisors still struggled with inconsistent PPE compliance, recurring near misses around heavy machinery, and hidden dangers at open edges or confined spaces. Manual inspections and paper-based reporting made oversight reactive instead of preventive, delaying crucial insights until after incidents had almost occurred.
Leaders realized that these fragmented practices not only slowed progress but also limited their ability to meet Singapore’s Workplace Safety and Health 2028 vision of zero-incident worksites. Incremental fixes would not be enough; the company needed a smarter, always-on safety solution to transform performance at scale.
“Before viAct, our safety oversight depended too much on manual checks. Important risks often went unnoticed until they became near misses. We needed a smarter, always-on solution to truly transform safety performance.”

The Solution
Turning scattered safety checks into a unified AI system
To move beyond fragmented audits and delayed oversight, the construction giant implemented viAct AI-powered multi-module safety ecosystem across its projects. Through viHUB, viAct module hub, the firm integrated PPE detection, open edge detection, heavy machinery tracking, confined space supervision, and site access control into a single connected platform. Existing CCTV systems became intelligent monitors, continuously updating a live safety score dashboard that showed compliance and risk levels across sites.
“Adopting viAct centralized management platform allowed us to unify our safety operations under one roof and directly measure improvements through live safety scores. It was a game-changer for our EHS teams,” explains the company’s’ EHS Director.
“With viAct dashboards automatically updating our safety score, compliance with MOM inspections has become far smoother. What used to mean weeks of paperwork is now instant, audit-ready reporting. It also helped us avoid costly penalties by proving our safety measures in real time,” added the Project Safety Manager.
Integrated safety modules in existing CCTV Infrastructure
To break free from fragmented inspections, the company turned to viAct module hub, viHUB, which offered a marketplace of plug-and-play AI safety solutions. They deployed a combination of modules; PPE detection, open edge detection, heavy machinery tracking, confined space supervision, and site access control across multiple projects.
Each module acted as an always-on safeguard, flagging risks in real time and ensuring that critical hazards were no longer missed. By leveraging viHUB, the firm could scale AI safety rapidly across sites without the delays and complexities of traditional system rollouts.
Unified safety dashboards displaying site-wise scorecard improvement
The construction giant adopted modules from viAct AI-powered safety module hub viz. viHUB, integrating PPE detection, open edge detection, machinery tracking, confined space supervision, and access control into a unified framework. Existing CCTV transformed into intelligent eyes, continuously feeding a live safety score dashboard that highlighted risks and compliance in real time.
“viAct unified our safety operations under one roof and gave us measurable improvements through safety scores,” noted the EHS Director. “Safety Trend Reports now update automatically, so instead of waiting for audits, we see site-wise performance instantly and act before risks escalate,” added the Project Safety Manager.
The Impact
Building long-term safety resilience with viAct AI
The real value of viAct for the construction giant goes beyond immediate compliance. Over time, the AI-driven system created a living safety record, building a trusted data trail that supports insurance negotiations, investor reporting, and ESG disclosures.
By showing measurable improvements backed by continuous monitoring, the firm reported strengthening its position in winning large-scale tenders where safety credentials are weighted heavily.
Also, real-time alerts promoted proactive safety, reshaping workforce culture, boosting trust, retention, and loyalty among employees, which in turn reduced turnover costs and improved profitability.
“With viAct, safety has become a strategic asset; driving reputation, financial stability, and long-term resilience.”
