Executive Summary

General contractors managing large-scale commercial projects face strict OSHA safety mandates. Manual jobsite spot-checks miss over 60% of perimeter hazards and gear non-compliance. AtlasML designed and deployed an edge-native computer vision pipeline that monitors 24/7 video streams, flags violations in under 50ms, and delivers instant alerts to site superintendents.

The Challenge

With over 400 subcontractors active across multi-acre sites, safety supervisors could not continuously monitor high-risk zones, leading to:

  • Invisible Compliance Gaps: Workers removing hardhats or high-vis vests in blind spots.

  • Heavy Equipment Red-Zone Hazards: Unsafe pedestrian proximity to active cranes and excavators.

  • Bandwidth Constraints: Jobsites with intermittent cellular uplink unable to stream full 4K footage to cloud servers.

The Solution: Edge Computer Vision Pipeline

AtlasML engineered an end-to-end edge AI monitoring system:

  • Custom YOLOv8 Architecture: Fine-tuned on 150,000+ annotated frames under severe lighting, dust, and rain.

  • Edge Inference on Jetson Orin: Local processing at 30 FPS per camera stream without cloud round-trip latency.

  • Automated Incident Triaging: Real-time SMS and dashboard push notifications highlighting violation coordinates.

Measurable Results & Impact

  • 84% Reduction in total PPE non-compliance incidents within 60 days of deployment.

  • 45ms Average Latency from camera capture to edge hazard detection.

  • $320,000 Saved in prevented OSHA fines and insurance risk premium reductions.
