Industries / Chemical

Chemical — Safety, Security and Operations Intelligence AI

Turn every camera and sensor across your process units, tank farms and loading bays into a safety, process-safety and operations co-pilot — edge-first, Seveso III and GDPR-ready.

Compliant by design

Built for chemical compliance — Seveso III, OSHA PSM and ISO 45001

Seveso III & COMAH

Major-accident hazard control. Fogsphere logs exclusion-zone breaches, loss-of-containment indications, emergency-route obstruction and muster completion — the observable evidence Seveso III and COMAH inspectors ask for.

OSHA PSM & EPA RMP

29 CFR 1910.119 and 40 CFR Part 68. Visual confirmation of safe work practices, permit conditions, contractor controls and accidental-release response, timestamped per unit and per shift.

ISO 45001 & REACH

Occupational health and safety management plus chemical-management context. PPE compliance by zone, near-miss capture, drum and container storage condition and inventory-area activity feed a continual-improvement loop.

Personnel safety & occupational HSE

Every zone, every PPE combination, every shift

Zone-specific PPE combinations — hard hats, glasses, face shields, chemical-resistant gloves, coveralls, hi-vis and safety footwear checked against what the area requires

Respirators, SCBA, hearing protection, chemical suits and life jackets verified before entry to a controlled area or permitted task

Unauthorised entry, red-zone violations and personnel inside process exclusion zones or temporary restricted areas

Excessive occupancy of high-risk areas, lone-worker detection and access outside working hours

Harness presence and lanyard attachment, guardrail compliance, unsafe ladder use and scaffold access

Workers close to unprotected edges, open floor penetrations, dropped-object exposure and fall detection

Confined-space entry and exit tracking, attendant presence, worker count and open manways

Personnel remaining inside a confined space beyond the permitted duration; rescue-team readiness

Behavioural safety — mobile-phone use, smoking or vaping, running, unsafe climbing and barrier bypassing

Unsafe manual handling, poor ergonomics, improper tool use and riding on equipment

Worker-down detection, prolonged immobility, abnormal posture and heat-stress indicators

Worker proximity to forklifts, trucks and AGVs; crane swing radius and personnel beneath suspended loads

Pinch points, crushing zones, rotating equipment, conveyor interaction and unexpected machine entry

Housekeeping — spills, wet floors, obstructed walkways, unsecured drums and blocked emergency showers, eyewash stations and escape routes

Physical security & critical infrastructure

Perimeter, tank farms and control rooms — watched continuously

Perimeter intrusion, fence crossing and restricted-zone intrusion

Loitering, tailgating and after-hours activity across the site

Unauthorised vehicle entry, vehicle classification, licence-plate recognition, dwell and overstay, abandoned vehicles

Unattended objects and suspicious object placement

Unauthorised access to tank farms, control rooms, substations and chemical storage

Door left open, emergency-exit misuse and crowd or group formation

Camera tampering, obstruction and perimeter-object detection

Drone detection and waterside or boat intrusion where sensors support it

Sensor fusion — access control, CCTV, worker identity and credential, location and vehicle data correlated into one case

Unauthorised tanker connection and hose-connected vehicle movement

Drivers leaving designated safe zones and dangerous-goods parking violations

Operational intelligence

Every camera is a plant operations sensor

Personnel on site and by zone; contractor versus employee presence

Time spent by zone, restricted-area exposure time and lone-worker duration

Shift arrival and departure, area occupancy and crew utilisation

Queue and waiting time, work-order activity duration and maintenance response time

PPE compliance percentage by area and by contractor

Unsafe-behaviour rate, line-of-fire and restricted-zone violations, near-miss frequency

Housekeeping / 5S score by plant area and blocked emergency-equipment count

Safety events per 1,000 worker-hours, repeat violations, mean time to acknowledge and resolve

Truck arrival and departure with automatic gate processing; trucks per hour and gate processing time

Loading and unloading cycle time, bay utilisation, queue length and average truck dwell time

Forklift and AGV utilisation, vehicle speed and parking compliance

Trailer, container, pallet and material movement tracking

Muster completion time, percentage accounted for and missing-personnel count

Time from detection to intervention, abnormal-condition and leak-event frequency, area risk and zone anomaly scores

Across the chemical estate

Five focus areas

Personnel Safety & HSE

Zone-specific PPE, restricted areas, work at height, confined space and worker health.

Process Safety & Containment

Loss of containment, gas releases, fire and combustion, tank farms and valve operations.

Permit-to-Work & Contractors

Hot work, confined-space entry, LOTO, SIMOPS, turnarounds and contractor performance.

Emergency & Environmental

E-mustering, evacuation progress, visible emissions, flares, spills and containment condition.

Security & Logistics Intelligence

Perimeter, tank-farm access, tanker loading, yard flow and gate processing.

Why chemical operators choose Fogsphere

Risk Mitigation — Continuous monitoring surfaces hazards as they appear, so major incidents are caught earlier and recur less often.

Regulatory Compliance — Objective, timestamped evidence against the HSE frameworks your auditors already use — reducing fines and legal exposure.

Workforce Morale & Retention — A site where hazards are logged and acted on consistently is a site people stay at.

Sustainability & CSR — Demonstrable commitment to staff wellbeing and environmental performance — evidenced, not asserted.

Insurance Premium Optimisation — An objective safety record gives underwriters something measurable to price against.

End-to-end GDPR-compliant — Edge-only processing, face blurring and configurable retention. Labour-union-proof, privacy-friendly monitoring.
