Workplace safety monitoring

Workplace safety monitoring with cameras is the continuous watch for the events and conditions that injure people: a fall, a blocked exit, a person inside an exclusion zone, equipment not worn. Camzify raises the event when it happens, with a clip, and checks the conditions on a patrol round so the site is recorded as safe, or not, at each time. The cameras are the ones already installed for security.

The problem

The injury is found by the next person past

Someone falls in an aisle at the far end of the warehouse and lies there until a colleague happens by. A fire exit is blocked by a pallet for a week because the walk-through is monthly. A contractor steps inside the press exclusion zone and nobody sees it, so it becomes normal. None of these is a mystery afterwards; all of them were on camera.

Safety monitoring has depended on the safety officer being in the right place, and a site has one safety officer and forty cameras.

How Camzify handles it

Events raised live. Conditions checked on the round.

Slip and fall detection watches the movement pattern of each confirmed person and raises an alert with a clip when it matches a fall, routed to the nearest guard so someone attends rather than someone eventually notices. Zone intrusion detection covers exclusion zones around machinery and vehicle lanes. PPE violation detection checks hats, vests and gloves against the policy for each zone; the PPE compliance page covers that check in depth.

The conditions that do not announce themselves, a blocked exit, a stacked walkway, an obstructed extinguisher point, are checklist items on a patrol round, judged from the frame at each stop and recorded with it. Abandoned object detection catches the pallet left in the route between rounds, and an automated round raises a critical notification for a risk it sees that no item asked about.

The patrol round

What a safety round checks

A safety sequence walks the cameras over the working areas and asks the questions a safety officer asks on a walk-through: walkway clear, exit clear, zone empty, floor dry, extinguisher accessible. Run at shift start and mid-shift, it produces a report per round with a frame per item, which is the site as it was rather than as it was remembered.

The report is what an inspector, an insurer or a claimant's solicitor asks for, and it exists before they ask.

A check found Not Compliant captures a snapshot and messages the guard designated for that camera; on a manual round the operator chooses to send it, on an automated round it goes on its own. The item stays Pending until it is marked Fixed, which captures the after frame, and the report shows both.

What it will not do

It will not replace the safety officer, first aid or the reporting process; it starts them sooner. It will not see a fall on a camera pointed at the ceiling or in an area without a camera. It will not detect a chemical, a gas, a noise or a temperature. And it does not identify anyone; a fall alert shows a person falling, not who.

We do not publish detection accuracy or injury-reduction figures. The trust page sets out the policy.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Slip and fall detection looks at the speed and pattern of a person's movement on their confirmed track, not a single pose. Bending, kneeling and sitting do not match the pattern of a fall. Every alert carries a clip, so the guard who is sent can see what happened before they arrive.

An alert with a timestamped clip goes to the nearest available guard through the notification system, so someone can attend or send help, and the event is logged for the incident record. It does not replace first aid or the reporting process; it starts them sooner.

Two ways. A patrol checklist item asks at each stop whether the exit is clear and the walkway unobstructed, judged from the frame. Between rounds, abandoned object detection flags a pallet or box left in a route past a dwell time you set.

Zone intrusion detection draws the exclusion zone on the camera view and notifies on a tracked person inside it during the hours you set. It is a visual check on a track, so it fires on a person and not on a forklift, if person is the chosen class.

Every detected fall produces a timestamped clip of what happened and when, every patrol round produces frames of the site at known times, and every action on the account is in the audit trail. Whether a record meets a given standard is for your counsel; what we can say is that none of it is written after the fact.

Fall detection works on existing coverage of aisles, walkways and entrances. Cameras with a clear view of the floor give the most reliable results, and a camera pointed at the ceiling of a corridor will not see a fall in it. No dedicated hardware is required.
