Workplace safety object detection

Bounding boxes across a detailed workplace-object taxonomy: more than 6 million instances for a confidential EU client.

Illustration of an industrial yard with forklifts, a lorry, pallets, a ladder, a crane hook and workers in hi-vis vests, each in a colour-coded bounding box.

Problem

Industrial safety AI must see people, vehicles and equipment, with driver and PPE tags, to understand who and what is moving around a site.

Data and task

Bounding boxes across a detailed vehicle and workplace-object taxonomy, with driver and PPE tags on the people involved.

Tools

First Darwin (V7), later Encord: the programme moved platforms part-way through.

Challenges

A wide taxonomy, and a tool migration completed without breaking label consistency: guidelines, classes and review carried across from one platform to the other.

QA

Two-tier review, maintained through the change of platform.

Delivery scale

More than 6 million instances for a confidential EU client.

Result and next step

A very large, consistent detection dataset that survived a change of platform.
