The business need

Zero-injury goals in construction go beyond compliance; they’re a strategic advantage. Proactive risk management not only reduces incidents and downtime but can also strengthen bid competitiveness, driving revenue growth.  
 
This Construction client aimed to maintain their zero-injury record while leveraging safety performance as a differentiator to boost bid success. They also needed better oversight of subcontractors, whose injuries could impact their record. 
 
Their six-month project cycles created challenges, as equipment—including cameras—had to be relocated frequently. As a result, they required a flexible, easily configurable solution that local teams could adapt site-to-site.

Challenges

Monitoring safety compliance and subcontractor behavior across multiple construction sites was time-consuming and inconsistent.

Impact

Manual tracking of safety incidents was prone to human error.

Inconsistent safety measures affected subcontractor reliability, risking the client’s zero-injury record.

Subcontractors' safety incidents could jeopardize the client's competitive edge in bidding.

Resolution

The construction contractor implemented Viso Suite’s edge AI solution to automate safety monitoring and ensure real-time compliance across all project sites.

The solution

Processing computer vision at the edge is most cost-effective. Viso recommended a durable edge device suited for harsh construction environments, aligning with the client’s goals for affordability and long-term scalability.

The end-to-end application built on Viso included: 

  • Monitoring of “person under load”: Viso was configured to alert only when people were near live machinery 
  • Adherence around PPE usage
  • Visibility into dangerous situation such as workers stepping over cables 

Client teams were trained to re-configure applications to the requirements of each new site – from adjusting the area of interest to configuring updates to logic driving alerts, alarms or how visual data was pushed to their BI tool.

Business results

The customer gained: 

  • Behavioural change that minimized contributing factors to injury 
  • Enhanced safety and compliance across all sites 
  • Higher win rate on bids given proactive safety measures in place  
  • Enhanced trust in subcontractors
