From Compliance to Prevention: How Computer Vision is Transforming Workplace Health & Safety

Sponsored by

Workplace safety is under pressure like never before. Operations are more complex across multiple sites, skills gaps persist, costs are rising, and reporting demands keep growing. At the same time, leading organisations are shifting their focus from investigating incidents after the fact to preventing risk before harm occurs. This session explores how computer vision, which teaches cameras to understand what they see, is helping safety teams make that shift in a practical, people-first way.

You’ll learn why traditional controls like audits and manual observations often struggle to scale, how they can miss critical near-misses and real-world behaviours, and where organisations typically hit friction, including contractor visibility, rules vs reality, and reliance on lagging indicators. We will break down what computer vision looks like in real H&S terms, including real-time alerts, automated safety observations, leading indicators, and dashboards that support faster coaching and targeted interventions, without replacing the role of safety professionals.

We’ll bring it to life through core, cross-industry use cases including PPE compliance, restricted zones, people and vehicle interactions, working at height, and housekeeping and environmental risks such as spills, blocked walkways, and emergency exits. You’ll also get a clear view of what effective deployment looks like, from selecting the first use case and integrating alerts into existing workflows, to change management, ethics, privacy by design, and measuring success with credible KPIs and ROI.

What you’ll take away

• A clear, jargon-free understanding of computer vision for H&S
• High-value use cases that drive prevention across manufacturing, logistics, construction, and more
• A practical deployment playbook: start small, baseline, integrate, scale
• Guidance on governance, privacy, and how to avoid surveillance culture
• KPI ideas to prove value: leading indicators, response metrics, and ROI narratives

Who should attend
H&S practitioners, operations leaders, EHS managers, risk and compliance teams, and anyone responsible for safety performance across sites, yards, warehouses, plants, or high-risk environments.
