AI Safety Monitoring Systems

Course Overview

This advanced course teaches you to implement AI-powered safety monitoring systems using state-of-the-art computer vision models like YOLOv8. Learn to detect PPE violations, unsafe behaviors, restricted zone intrusions, and hazardous conditions in real-time. Based on methodologies from Ultralytics, Roboflow, and enterprise-grade safety platforms.

What You’ll Learn

• YOLOv8 for PPE Detection: Train and deploy models for hard hat, vest, and equipment detection
• Behavior Analysis: Detect unsafe actions using pose estimation and activity recognition
• Virtual Fencing: Create digital exclusion zones with instant intrusion alerts
• System Architecture: Design scalable, fault-tolerant monitoring infrastructure
• Alert Systems: Configure intelligent notification workflows with escalation paths
• Compliance: Meet OSHA, ARAMCO, and international safety regulations

Detection Capabilities

Learn to implement detection for:

• PPE: Hard hats, safety vests, goggles, gloves, safety shoes
• Equipment: Forklifts, cranes, heavy machinery proximity
• Behaviors: Running, climbing, fighting, falling
• Zones: Restricted areas, danger zones, emergency exits
• Hazards: Spills, smoke, fire, structural issues

Technology Stack
