The Scope
ITP, with over 30 years of experience in digital transformation, implemented a computer vision-based safety monitoring solution to improve compliance with personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements in industrial environments.
The Problem
At work, employees frequently neglected the use of mandatory personal protective equipment, creating increased safety risks. The main challenges included:
- Inconsistent use of PPE by personnel
- Ineffective manual monitoring and supervision
- High effort required for compliance control.
- Limited ability to investigate safety violations after incidents
As a result, safety breaches increased, raising the risk of workplace accidents and regulatory non-compliance.
The Solution
ITP implemented an AI-powered PPE recognition solution using computer vision to automatically monitor compliance in real time.
The solution enables:
- Automatic detection of PPE usage (such as helmets, vests, and other safety gear)
- Real-time alerts sent to designated systems when violations are detected
- Continuous monitoring without human involvement
- Analysis of historical video data, allowing each incident to be reviewed and investigated separately
The system integrates with existing video infrastructure and operates continuously across monitored areas.
The Outcome
The implemented solution allowed the organization to:
- Improve overall safety compliance
- Reduce the number of PPE-related violations
- Respond faster to unsafe situations
- Decrease reliance on manual supervision
By automating safety monitoring, the organization strengthened its safety culture while optimizing operational resources.
