Safe working distance
Flag when people work too close together during hazardous tasks such as knife work, to prevent injuries. People often work side by side with knives, and one slip can injure a colleague.
Why it matters.
People often work side by side with knives, and one slip can injure a colleague. These near misses are rarely reported, so the riskiest stations stay unknown.
What it detects and measures
- People working with knives or sharp tools
- How close they are to each other while working
- Moments when people are too close to work safely
- Stations and shifts where this happens most
- An image of each event, for review and training
Typical applications
Set up in four steps.
Self-service, in the browser, on the cameras you already own.
- 01Connect
Uses the cameras already over the processing floor. No new hardware.
- 02Set the rule
Mark the work stations and set the minimum safe distance between people.
- 03Measure
Watches the space between people using knives, and saves an image when they get too close.
- 04Act
When people work too close together, the floor supervisor is alerted.
What your team gets.
Alerts reach the person who can act, with the time, place and frame. Every event is kept for reporting.
For operations
- Unsafe close working seen as it happens
- The stations with the most risk identified
For the business
- Fewer knife injuries and the costs that follow
- Line layouts and spacing improved based on evidence
- Records that show active safety management to regulators and insurers
- Safer working practices built into training
Often measured on the same cameras.
The same camera can check for mesh gloves and watch forklift traffic on the floor.
PPE and compliance
Check that people wear the right safety gear throughout every shift, not just during spot checks.
