Real-time safety detection on construction sites using a vision-language and NLP-based model

This is like having a super-attentive safety inspector watching live video from your construction site 24/7, automatically spotting unsafe behaviors (no helmet, no harness, wrong zone) and describing what’s wrong in plain language so you can intervene immediately.

Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Manual safety supervision on construction sites is inconsistent, labor‑intensive, and misses many real-time hazards. This system continuously monitors video feeds and automatically detects and explains safety violations, reducing accidents and compliance risk without needing more supervisors on the ground.

Value Drivers

Reduced accidents and injury-related costsLower regulatory and insurance risk via better safety compliance evidenceReal-time alerts that enable faster intervention on unsafe actsScalable safety monitoring across many sites and camerasObjective, documented safety observations for audits and training

Strategic Moat

Domain-specific safety rules and labeled video data from construction sites, plus integration into existing site cameras and safety workflows, can form a defensible advantage over generic vision models.

Differentiation Factor

Compared to generic CCTV analytics, this approach explicitly combines vision-language and NLP models to not only detect unsafe conditions but also generate human-readable descriptions of the safety issue in context, enabling clearer communication and easier integration with digital safety reporting workflows.
