Safety is paramount in high-risk industries such as construction, oil & gas, mining, and manufacturing. Smart site safety systems (SSSS or 4S) are a game-changer in these fields, leveraging advanced technology to ensure the well-being of workers and efficient project execution. viAct‘s smart site safety system is a prime example of such a smart safety solution, encompassing several critical features.
In this blog, we’ll explore the top features you need in a smart site safety system, with a special focus on how viAct incorporates these features to enhance safety across various industries.
- Real-time Monitoring and Alerts
A smart site safety system must offer real-time monitoring, and viAct excels in this area. It employs a network of cameras, sensors and IoT devices, which continuously captures videos and images. These insights are displayed on the centralized management platform, offering stakeholders instant access to monitor and respond to site safety incidents. Alerts are generated by AI video analytics, providing immediate notifications when safety non-compliance or dangerous situations occur.
- Centralized Management Platform
The centralized management platform is at the core of smart site safety system. It acts as a hub for stakeholders to monitor site safety online. viAct’s centralized management platform – viHUB centralizes all the captured insights, including videos, images, and audio, making them easily accessible for analysis and reporting. It ensures that data is recorded and can be reviewed later, fostering a culture of safety and accountability.
- Digitalized Permit-to-Work System
A good smart site safety system should offer a digital permit-to-work (PTW) system that can streamline the application, issuance, and tracking of permits using mobile devices. This digitization enhances safety performance on construction jobsites by providing a more efficient and transparent process for managing permits and ensuring that safety protocols are followed.
- Digitized Tracking System
To ensure holistic safety, smart site safety systems should include a digitized tracking system. viAct’sdigitized tracking system monitors the 3M’s of construction – men, machine, and materials. This feature allows for real-time tracking of site equipment, powered tools, and ladders. With digital identification, stakeholders can access up-to-date status information, including test certifications and maintenance schedules. This helps ensure equipment is well-maintained, reducing the risk of accidents.
- Unsafe Act/Dangerous Situation Alert System
The smart site safety system should include a system of instant alert that can detect and immediately alert whenever any safety non-compliance, unsafe acts, and dangerous situations are detected. viAct’s smart site safety system leverages the power of AI video analytics to detect any risky situation and its dangerous situation alert system triggers instant and real-time alerts. These real-time alerts serve as a warning system for both stakeholders and workers, allowing them to take immediate preventive measures. This feature enhances safety awareness and minimizes the potential for accidents.
- PPE Detection
PPE compliance is the bare minimum to ensure workplace safety. viAct’sSmart Site Safety Systemis capable of PPE detection, leveraging the power of AI algorithms. It can detect whether workers are wearing (proper) PPE. In case of non-compliance, instant alerts are sent to stakeholders, ensuring that PPE issues are addressed promptly. This smart PPE detection solution enhances worker’s safety in the construction industry.
- Danger Zone Access Control
A good smart site safety system features danger zone intrusion detection, which alerts stakeholders when unauthorized personnel enter restricted areas or danger zones on the site, such as holes, fencing, lifting zones, or wet floors. It also detects missing barriers or fencing around these areas and notifies relevant parties to take preventive action, reducing the risk of accidents.
viAct’ssmart site safety system (SSSS) combines AI and vision intelligence to enhance safety in confined spaces. It allows stakeholders to track atmospheric changes, monitor confined space entry access, and detect flowing solids and liquids, among other things. This transparency and control enable a safer working environment for those operating in confined spaces.
- Safety Training with Virtual Reality Technology
The insights captured and recorded in the centralized management platform can be used to provide safety training through virtual reality technology. This feature is especially valuable for workers engaged in high-risk activities. By simulating risky situations in jobsites, workers can undergo realistic safety training to enhance their awareness and response skills.
Conclusion
Thus, in high-risk industries such as construction, oil & gas, mining, and manufacturing, the importance of a comprehensive smart site safety system (SSSS) cannot be overstated. viAct’s smart site safety system embodies the top features required in such a solution, including real-time monitoring, a centralized management platform, digitized tracking, PPE detection, digitalized permit-to-work, danger zone access control, confined space safety monitoring, and virtual reality-based safety training. By embracing these features, industries can significantly enhance worker safety, productivity, and compliance with regulations, ensuring a safer and more efficient work environment.
