Workplace safety has always been at the top of mind of the companies operating in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), especially those involved with critical industries like the construction and oil &gas. With the coming of new and advanced technologies, like Artificial Intelligence (AI),Machine Learning (ML), IoT sensors and like; the companies now have access to innovative solutions to lock safety of their workers in jobsites.
One such solution that has been gaining tremendous importance in the current times in KSA is the smart site safety system like the one offered by viAct. The smart site safety system or 4S usesdata collected from a combination of devices like cameras, sensors and software to monitor jobsites and detect the minutest of safety hazards in real-time. Making use of the smart site safety system (SSSS), companies can proactively identify as well as address various safety risks which ultimately help them reduce the chances of accidents and injuries in their jobsites.
How Can Smart Site Safety System Promote Workplace Safety in Saudi Arabia?
One major feature of the smart site safety system is the centralized management platform. This smart and integrated platform allows companies to monitor their jobsites in real-time as well as analyse the data collected from various sources like sensors and cameras set across the jobsite. The collected data can include information related to workers safety non-compliances like PPEnon-compliance, instances of danger zone intrusion,fall from height (FFH), slip, trips & falls (STFs), workers’&machine productivity, like their operation and idling hours, environmental compliances like construction &demolition waste management, air quality management and so on. Using AI for workplace safety, theworkplace safety softwareby viAct can instantly analyse the collected data and detect the potential safety hazards.
The system of unsafe act detection alert equipped with the smart site safety systems further helps boost workplace safety. As soon as safety non-compliance is detected by the AI cameras, instant & real-time alerts are tiggered by the dangeruous situation alert system. This acts as a warning to the workers as well as other stakeholders about the risky situation allowing them to take insightful action before it is too late.
viAct – a Forbes Asia 100 to Watch 2022 – leverages the power of video analytics for workplace safety to offer smart site safety solutions like PPE Detection, Hazardous Area Access Control, Confined Space Safety System, Tower Crane Lifting Zone Safety, Work at Height Safety, Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) Safety, and so on.
Apart from this, implementation of the smart site system in the critical jobsites like construction and oil& gas can also bring in additional benefits apart from improving the safety performance in jobsites. These smart systems can also improve efficiency in jobsites by identifying various bottlenecks that exist in the processes and streamline and optimise workflows. In addition to this,these smart systems can also help companies to reduce their environmental impact by monitoring their activities, resource usage, and identifying opportunities for conservation.
Thus, it can be well concluded that, innovative solutions for workplace safety in Saudi Arabia such as the smart site safety system can be a game changer when it comes to workplace safety. Utilising the latest technology, companies there can not only identify, but also address the potential safety risks that ultimately help them reduce the chances of accidents and injuries in jobsites. Further, as these systems continue to evolve, it can be well expected to further augment the safety and efficiency in jobsites.
