Safety Glasses Detection
Detects whether eye protection — safety glasses, goggles or face shields — is worn in the areas and during the tasks that require it.

Eye protection detection by zone and task
What it detects
Harvested from the computer-vision use-case columns of the Q3 industry papers. Every item below is a rule you can switch on, tune per zone and report on.
Safety glasses in eye-protection zones
Flags people inside a designated area without glasses, goggles or a shield in view.
Goggles in chemical and splash zones
Applies where the Q3 chemical paper pairs goggles with face shields around decanting and transfer points.
Face shields at high-particulate tasks
Covers grinding, cutting and abrasive blasting, where the shield rather than glasses is the requirement.
Welding eye protection
Detects hot-work stations where welding eye and face protection is specified alongside the mask.
Entry to a controlled area
Checks eye protection at the threshold rather than after the person is inside the zone.
Contractors and visitors
Surfaces non-permanent personnel on walk-through routes who were not issued or did not put on the kit.
Emergency shower and eyewash areas
Monitors occupancy and use of eyewash and emergency-shower stations as a leading indicator alongside the PPE rule.
Compliance rate by zone and task
Reports eye-protection compliance per area and per activity, not as a single site number.
Where it applies
The sub-sectors below are the ones the Q3 industry papers name for this detection. Each links to the industry hub.
In Oil & Gas
Safety-glasses compliance during drilling, refining and construction operations. Eye protection during high-particulate tasks such as grinding, cutting and abrasive blasting.
How it works
01
Runs on the cameras you already have
Inference happens at the edge on your existing CCTV and IP streams. No new camera estate, no video leaving site, no cloud round-trip in the detection loop.
02
Thresholds and zones you configure
Draw the zone, set the rule, set the dwell, count and confidence thresholds. Rules differ by area, shift and task, because sites do.
03
Evidence, not just alerts
Every event is logged with camera, zone, timestamp and a clip, so the record is reviewable afterwards and usable in a corrective action.
04
Integrates with what you already run
Events push into your VMS, alerting and reporting stack through Fogsphere Manager, with dashboards broken down by area, shift and crew.
Risk & control objective
Eye protection is a binary control with a very short failure window — the exposure that matters lasts a fraction of a second, and no periodic inspection regime samples it. Hazardous-substance controls, machinery safety regulation and general-industry standards all name eye and face protection, but none of them provide a way to measure whether it is in place during the seconds that count.
The control objective is continuous coverage of the tasks with the highest particulate and splash exposure, plus the record to show it. Detection also gives an unexpected second signal: eyewash and emergency-shower area activity, which the Q3 chemical paper lists as a monitored zone in its own right and which reads as a leading indicator when it rises.
