Safety Vest Detection
What is Safety Vest (Reflective Vest) Detection?
Simply put, using video analytics to automatically check whether or not workers are wearing (proper) high-visibility vest/ jacket while working in hazardous zones like construction sites, oil rigs, factories, or warehouses is safety vest detection or reflective vest detection. This kind of detection ensures PPE compliance, helping minimize risks in jobsites.
Why is Safety Vest Detection (Reflective Vest Detection) important in industrial settings?
Industrial sites are generally occupied with large, noisy, fast-moving machineries. In case a worker is missing out on a visible safety vest, they may not be easily seen to the operator or the supervisor. Such situations can put the worker’s life at risk. However, with video analytics, any safety non-compliance can be detected in real-time, in turn, helping prevent injuries or fatalities.
What technologies support Safety Vest Detection in modern industries?
A blend of technologies like computer vision, video analytics and intelligent surveillance systems like IP cameras and AI CCTV support safety vest detection. These technologies together offer non-intrusive, continuous, and real-time monitoring that helps improve safety standards without disrupting daily operations.
How does Safety Vest Detection work with existing surveillance systems?
Modern jobsites generally have IP cameras and AI CCTV systems already installed. These pre-installed IP cameras and AI CCTV can be easily integrated with video analytics software that is trained to identify if workers are wearing safety vests or not. Such systems generally use computer vision to detect the high-visibility colour patterns found on safety vests (reflective vests), without any human intervention.
Is Safety Vest Detection customizable as per different work zones?
Absolutely. Using video analytics, the system can be configured to monitor specific zones, where wearing a safety / reflective vest is mandatory, like entry gates, loading docks or hazardous areas. Using IP cameras, the detection parameters can be tailored as per the unique rules and layout of each industrial site. It can also distinguish vests on the basis of their colour, enabling role-specific or department-specific vests.
