Permit-to-Work, Contractors & Turnarounds

Beyond object detection: reasoning across zone safety policy, permit data and observed activity to produce an automated visual evidence pack per permit, from issue through closeout.

Safety

Hot work, confined space, height, excavation and line breaking, monitored as they happen.

Security

Check what the permit requires against what is actually happening on the work front.

Operational Intelligence

Track work fronts, congestion, SIMOPS and visual progress through the turnaround.

Permit conditions checked against what the camera sees

A live operations layer on top of the cameras already covering your work fronts, confined spaces and turnaround areas.

Contractor safety & performance

An objective contractor score, not an observation report

PPE compliance, safety violations and restricted-area breaches by contractor

Working hours, crew presence by work area, work-zone occupancy, arrival and departure

Permit-area compliance, unsafe behaviour and near-miss frequency

Response to safety instructions

Repeated unsafe contractor behaviour and excessive occupancy of high-risk areas

A Contractor Safety Performance Score and risk trend, tracked over time

Turnaround & shutdown intelligence

Work fronts, congestion, SIMOPS and visual progress

Workforce and contractor count by unit, work-front occupancy and crew arrival

Work-zone congestion, equipment arrival, crane utilisation and material staging

SIMOPS conflicts, work-at-height activity and restricted-zone violations

Housekeeping deterioration, idle work fronts, queueing and emergency-route obstruction

Planned versus actual workforce and work-front utilisation

Crew waiting time, deviations per contractor and visual progress against schedule
