Abstract

In large industries, such as construction, metallurgy, and oil, workers are continually exposed to various hazards in their workplace. Accordingly to the International Labor Organization (ILO), there are 340 million occupational accidents annually. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is used to ensure the essential protection of workers’ health and safety. There is a great effort to ensure that these types of equipment are used properly. In such an environment, it is common to have closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras to monitor workers, as those can be used to verify the PPE’s proper usage. Some works address this problem using CCTV images; however, they frequently can not deal with multiples safe equipment usage detection and others even skip the verification phase, making only the detection. In this paper, we propose a novel cognitive safety analysis component for a monitoring system. This component acts to detect the proper usage of PPE’s in real-time using data stream from regular CCTV cameras. We built the system component based on the top of state-of-art deep learning techniques for object detection. The methodology is robust with consistent and promising results for Mean Average Precision (80.19% mAP) and can act in real-time (80 FPS).
