Proactive Safety & PPE Compliance Monitoring
the evidence system live camera feeds enable safety managers and supervisors to observe worker behaviour, PPE compliance, and adherence to safe systems of work in real time without physically walking to each work zone.

Trigger, activity, conclusion
Start of a working period, commencement of a high-risk activity, receipt of a safety concern, or a routine safety walk being impractical due to site size or access constraints.
Using the evidence system live view to remotely observe whether workers are wearing required PPE, following prescribed safe behaviours, and adhering to site safety rules.
Non-compliant behaviour identified and corrected through immediate intervention or formal safety notice. The supervisor has discharged their supervisory obligation for the period without requiring a physical walk.
Workflow steps
- Step 01
A safety monitoring check is triggered — either scheduled (start of shift, pre-lift check) or ad hoc (receipt of a concern, start of a high-risk activity).
Inferred - Step 02
Safety manager or site supervisor opens the evidence system live view on desktop or mobile and navigates to the camera(s) covering the relevant work zones.
Evidenced - Step 03
PTZ cameras directed toward active work areas — elevated platforms, scaffold faces, excavations, crane operation zones.
Inferred - Step 04
Live footage observed for PPE compliance (hard hats, hi-vis, harnesses, safety footwear) and behavioural compliance (barriers, exclusion zones, permit conditions).
Evidenced - Step 05
If non-compliance identified, supervisor contacts the relevant site foreman via radio, phone, or messaging system to issue a correction immediately.
Evidenced - Step 06
If non-compliance is persistent or involves a specific subcontractor, the footage window is recorded and used as the basis for a formal written safety notice.
Inferred - Step 07
The observation — whether compliant or non-compliant — is logged in the site safety record for the period.
Inferred - Step 08
For subcontractor-specific patterns of non-compliance, the footage record is used in subcontractor performance reviews or commercial deduction processes.
Inferred - Step 09
Where camera coverage is insufficient, the supervisor supplements remote observation with a targeted physical visit to the specific zone of concern.
Inferred
Evidence records
The safety manager checks the live feed every morning before going to site — if he can see workers active without hi-vis or helmets from the camera, he calls the foreman before he even gets out of the car.
We used the camera to monitor the subcontractor's scaffold erection — we could see from the office whether they were clipping on at height. Previously we'd have had to station someone at the base of the scaffold all day.
Contractor cut the trench drain in the wrong location — the camera had been unplugged at the critical moment and there was no footage. It ended up costing $40k that could have been caught much earlier.
