Hard Hat & PPE Detection Software for Construction Safety
Automate safety compliance with intelligent PPE monitoring. Detect hard hats, high-vis vests, and safety equipment in real-time with instant violation alerts.
Why Workplace Safety Still Fails Without AI
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) reported 135 workers killed in workplace accidents in Great Britain in 2023/24, with over 561,000 non-fatal injuries recorded. Construction remains one of the most dangerous sectors, accounting for the highest number of fatalities year after year.
Many of these incidents involve workers not wearing the correct PPE — a hard hat left off during a quick task, safety glasses removed for comfort, or a high-vis vest forgotten in a vehicle. Manual spot checks catch only a fraction of violations, and supervisors cannot be everywhere at once.
Fortix AI continuously monitors every camera feed on your site, detecting PPE violations as they happen and alerting supervisors instantly. The system provides uninterrupted coverage across every shift and generates a complete compliance audit trail for HSE inspections.
How Automated PPE Compliance Monitoring Works
Continuous automated monitoring that never misses a violation
Configure
Set PPE requirements for each zone and area
Monitor
AI analyses video feeds in real-time 24/7
Detect
Instant identification of PPE violations
Alert
Notifications sent to supervisors immediately
Hard Hat, High-Vis & Safety Glasses Detection
Everything you need for automated workplace safety compliance
Hard Hat Detection
Identifies workers entering zones without required head protection and flags the violation for review.
High-Vis Vest Recognition
Detects missing or incorrectly worn high-visibility clothing across camera feeds.
Safety Glasses Monitoring
Checks for eye protection compliance in designated hazardous work zones.
Instant Violation Alerts
Sends notifications to supervisors when PPE non-compliance is detected, with camera snapshots attached.
Compliance Reporting
Generates reports on PPE adherence rates, violation trends, and incident logs for HSE audits.
Multi-Zone Coverage
Applies zone-specific PPE requirements so different areas enforce different equipment rules.
Reduce Workplace Injuries with PPE Violation Alerts
AI-powered PPE detection replaces reactive spot checks with continuous, automated monitoring — so violations are caught and addressed before they lead to injuries.
- Automate safety compliance monitoring across every camera
- Eliminate reliance on manual PPE spot checks
- Receive instant alerts when violations are detected
- Generate compliance analytics and reporting for audits
- Support HSE audit requirements with documented evidence
- Protect workers in hazardous environments continuously
Man Down Detection: Saving Lives When Seconds Count
When a worker collapses from a fall, medical emergency, or exposure to hazardous substances, every second matters. Traditional monitoring relies on colleagues noticing — but in remote areas of a site, a worker could lie unattended for critical minutes.
Fortix AI's man down detection uses pose estimation and motion analysis to identify when a person has fallen and remains motionless. The system distinguishes between someone bending down to work and an actual collapse, triggering an immediate alert to first aiders and site managers.
- Detects falls and prolonged motionlessness automatically
- Alerts first aiders and site managers within seconds
- Monitors lone workers in isolated areas of the site
- Distinguishes between working postures and genuine incidents
- Logs incident footage for investigation and RIDDOR reporting
Construction, Manufacturing & Warehouse Safety
Tailored PPE monitoring for the environments where it matters most
Construction Sites
Enforce hard hat, high-vis, and safety boot requirements across active zones, scaffolding areas, and site entrances where PPE rules change by location.
Manufacturing Plants
Monitor safety glasses, hearing protection, and glove compliance on production floors where noise and machinery make manual checks impractical.
Warehouses & Logistics
Enforce high-visibility clothing and safety footwear in loading bays and forklift zones where vehicle-pedestrian conflicts are the primary risk.
